Surviving Grateful Dead Members Announce U.S. Tour

Other Ones will kick off trek November 14 in Roanoke, Virginia.

The sound you might have heard this week was that of Deadheads busting out their mothballed tour gear and seeing if they can still fit into those faded tie-dyes and backless peasant tops.

Since fans played it cool over last weekend's two-day reunion festival of the surviving members of the Grateful Dead in Wisconsin (see [article id="1456447"]"Surviving Grateful Dead Members Reunite For First Time Since Garcia's Death"[/article]), the ultimate jam group is returning the favor and taking their show back on the road.

Seven years after the death of legendary guitarist/singer Jerry Garcia, the

Other Ones -- guitarist/singer Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh, drummer

Bill Kreutzmann and percussionist Mickey Hart -- have kept their

promise to mount a U.S. tour this fall. The 13-city outing will kick off

November 14 in Roanoke, Virginia, and is currently slated to run through

December 2 in Rosemont, Illinois, according to the group's Web site.

The Other Ones used their first full reunion shows last weekend --

Hart, Weir and Lesh have performed as the Other Ones, sans Kreutzmann, since

Garcia's death -- as a test to see if their fans could peacefully

assemble. Walworth County, Wisconsin, authorities initially denied the band

a permit for the shows -- billed as "Terrapin Station: A Grateful Dead

Family Reunion -- at East Troy, Wisconsin's Alpine Valley Music Theatre

based on fears that tens of thousands of ticketless fans would show up and

cause havoc (see [article id="1455881"]"Wisconsin Officials

Revive Dead Reunion Show"[/article]).

As with the Wisconsin shows, keyboardists Jeff Chimenti and Rob Barocco and

guitarist/singer Jimmy Herring will fill out the band's roster.
