I'm getting soft in my old age: my heart literally felt good to see Walkie this excited by this.
Bay Area does not help me in any way.

Damn. Bob Weir was so hot when he was young.

Thievery Corporation mixes with The Dead in Chicago.

Fans can look forward to two Thievery Corporation Live sets; one with songs from our deep catalogue of original tunes and another incorporating full Grateful Dead numbers and innovative inclusion of sounds from the Dead into some of our adapted classics.
I think they saw the demand and thought "let's make more money". Which is their choice, but don't call it the end and say it's not really the end.

It is looking like they will break off into groups again.  Phil Lesh & Friends seems to be starting up again.  That John Mayer pic had Mike Gordon playing bass with Bob Weir.  I guess they will do something just not all together.

It looks like your question was answered already, but this is the "last" time the "core four" are playing together… Lesh will still limp along with P+F line ups, Bobby will fall off the stage every few months, etc.
