In a recent announcement, Weir expressed interest in potentially reuniting the Grateful Dead as a trio for their 60th anniversary, although plans were impacted by the passing of co-founder Phil Lesh last October. “I suppose I could go back out… it would be a trio at this point with me and two drummers,” Weir remarked.
Bobby Weir’s upcoming performance at Royal Albert Hall promises to be a landmark event, marking his first appearance in London in over two decades. The collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra adds a unique twist to the presentation of Grateful Dead music. With tickets soon available, fans have a chance to witness this special orchestral night as the band approaches its 60th anniversary, amidst hints of a potential reunion.
