This will be a short, albeit newsworthy diary for all the heads out there...The Dead are touring again!
Full schedule below
(and for Kestrel)
Hope for 2009 starts in Greensboro, North Carolina in April!
From Dead.net:
The lineup for this edition of The Dead will be the same one that rocked the house at Penn State last fall at the Obama benefit: The Core Four of Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, joined by guitar monster Warren Haynes and RatDog keyboard ace Jeff Chimenti (both veterans of the 2004 Dead "Wave That Flag" tour). The mood of the band for this Spring Fling is way up, so it’s sure to be a great tour!
