Seattle,WA – Live Nation is very excited to
welcome THE DEAD with guests the Allman
Brothers Band and the Doobie Brothers to
the Gorge Amphitheatre on Saturday,May
16,2009 at 3:30 p.m.
After months of fan speculation bolstered
by an October 2008 performance at the
“Change Rocks”concert/rally for Barack
Obama in State College,PA and three recent viral internet vid-
eos with band interviews and performance footage,the DEAD has officially announced
tour dates for 2009.This is marks their first trek since 2004’s“Wave That Flag”tour.
Original Dead members Bob Weir,Phil Lesh,Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart will be
joined by keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and Allman Brothers Band/Gov’t Mule guitarist
Warren Haynes,both of whom played with the band at the“Change Rocks”concert.
The group first formed with lead guitarist Jerry Garcia as the Grateful Dead in 1965 and
is legendary for their live performances.The Grammy-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
group always toured relentlessly,allowing their“Dead Head”fans to tape and trade their
exploratory,free-flowing concerts.
Seeds of the idea of touring again were first planted in February of this year when Hart,
Lesh and Weir played a“Dead Heads For Obama”show at the Warfield in their native
San Francisco,and last year Weir,Kreutzmann and Hart performed at a post-inaugura-
tion for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Always sonic and technological adventurers,the Grateful Dead formed in San Fran-
cisco’s electric Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in the mid-‘60s,combining their love of
bluegrass,country,electric rock and jazz to create one of the most iconic repertoires
in rock music.By touring continuously and never relying on radio hits or latest trends,
the Dead and Dead Heads created an unparalleled bond.Fans were turned on to the
group by live bootlegs and word of mouth,with many following the band on the road
for whole tours.

“We’ve got some unfinished business,”says guitarist/singer Bob Weir.“Everybody has a

whole new bag of tricks; we have the body of material we worked up over the years and
we have a mind meld going on here and it would be a sin to let that just wither and die.”
Drummer Mickey Hart adds,“A mind meld is a terrible thing to waste.”Bassist Phil Lesh
says,“For me,it’s the question mark that’s really pulling me in…what’s gonna happen?
When you walk out on the stage the possibilities are infinite every time.The musical pos-
sibilities are infinite:there is no end to it,there’s no back wall and there’s no ceiling,there’s
