Are

Company
Concerts?

Dead
&
Company
recently
completed
a

residency
at
the
Sphere
in
Las
Vegas,
and
at
present,
the
Golden
Gate
Park
shows
are
the
only
concerts
the
band
has
scheduled.
Back
in
2023,
they’d
announced
a

farewell
tour.

Earlier
this
year,

Bob
Weir

spoke
with

Rolling
Stone
about
the
future
of
the
band,
noting
that
there
had
been
talk
in
regards
to
himself,
bassist Phil
Lesh,
and
drummers
Bill Kreutzmann
and Mickey
Hart reuniting
for
the
Grateful
Dead’s
60th
anniversary.
Lesh,
however,
passed
away
in
October
of
2024.

“I
think
when
Phil
checked
out,
so
did
that
notion,
because
we
don’t
have
a
bass
player
who’s
been
playing
with
us
for
60
years
now.
And
that
was
the
intriguing
prospect,”
he
said. “I
think
you
need
somebody
holding
down
the
bottom.
Phil
had
all
kinds
of
ideas
that
were
pretty
much
unique
to
him.
I
grew
up
with
Phil
holding
down
the
bottom
in
his
unique
way.”
