The Grateful Dead Were Discussing a Reunion With Phil Lesh Before His Death


The surviving members of the Grateful Dead were discussing another reunion before bassist and co-founder Phil Lesh died back in October.

The surviving members of the Dead — Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart — revealed Lesh’s desire to play with the group again on CBS Mornings. The interview was conducted five days after Lesh’s death, and the bassist was originally set to join them for the chat, which was to mark their upcoming Kennedy Center Honors prize. The last time Lesh played with the Grateful Dead was in 2015 when the band celebrated their 50th anniversary with a run of “Fare Thee Well” shows(Phish’s Trey Anastasio filled in for Jerry Garcia).
