The Grateful Dead to tour again
Hot off their reunion benefit concert for President-Elect Barack Obama (back when he was just a candidate in October), the remaining members of the Grateful Dead will be reuniting for a 19-city tour this spring.
Band members Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, and Bill Kreutzmann have mended their differences and will be joined by Warren Haynes and Jeff Chimenti.
The Dead last played Vegas in 2004, which was the last year they performed together. Alas, Las Vegas is not on the slate of the new tour dates, but Los Angeles (May 9) is a hop, skip, and a 5-hour bus ride.
For other interested folks, check the Meetup group for Vegas for The Dead.
