Exciting Developments in the Grateful Dead Legacy: Plans for a 60th-Anniversary Reunion
The announcement of Dead & Company’s 2025 Sphere residency follows recent discussions among band members Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart regarding the potential for a 60th-anniversary reunion alongside Phil Lesh. These conversations occurred before the unfortunate passing of Lesh in October. Weir expressed the band’s intention to explore new musical horizons, stating, “We were gonna see where it goes, but we were just gonna play the four of us. Now there’s only three of us … and that’s different.” This sentiment reflects the evolving dynamic within the group while honoring their shared history and musical journey.
Despite the shifts in lineup, Weir and Hart continue to bring their musical talents to Dead & Company, performing alongside notable musicians including John Mayer, Jeff Chimenti, Oteil Burbridge, and Jay Lane, who took over drumming duties from Kreutzmann in 2023. This collaboration has allowed the band to maintain its vibrant sound and spirit, ensuring that fans experience the magic of the Grateful Dead’s music through fresh interpretations and exciting live performances.
