In March 2025, Rolling Stone caught up with Bobby Weir and asked about the forthcoming 60th anniversary plans. 'I think when Phil checked out, so did that notion, because we don't have a bass player who's been playing with us for 60 years now, 'Weir told Rolling Stone at the time. 'And that was the intriguing prospect.… I think you need somebody holding down the bottom. Phil had all kinds of ideas that were pretty much unique to him. I grew up with Phil holding down the bottom in his unique way.
'I suppose I could go back out. I wouldn't put anybody in his place, so it would be a trio at this point. It'd be me and two drummers. I'd have to think about that. I haven't thought about it — it's just now occurring to me that it's a possibility that we could do that, since you asked.… I guess we'll just see what the three of us can pull together.'

Dead & Company kicks off epic Grateful Dead 60th shows in foggy San Francisco
Golden Gate Park became a swirling sea of tie-dye and denim as tens of thousands of Deadheads descended on the Polo Field for the opening night of Dead & Company's three-night residency celebrating the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary. A thick blanket of fog rolled in overhead — a fitting curtain for a band born in the Bay Area and forever entwined with its weather, ethos and mythology. The show on Friday, Aug. 1 opened on what would have been late guitarist Jerry Garcia's 83rd birthday. His daughter, Trixie Garcia, took the stage to introduce the band, setting the tone for an evening steeped in remembrance but focused squarely on the music. Many fans had traveled from across the country to be there. Around the venue, Dead-themed vendors lined JFK Promenade, with T-shirt stalls, incense sellers and bootleg vinyl dealers doing brisk business, adding to the festival's nostalgic energy. The first set was a slow burn. While it featured crowd-pleasers like 'Feel Like a Stranger,' 'Tennessee Jed,' and 'Althea,' the band struggled to build early momentum — especially with its clunky version of Martha and the Vandellas 'Dancing in the Street' front-loaded in the lineup. It wasn't until the second set that Dead & Company — featuring original members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart alongside John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimentii and Jay Lane — found their groove. Grahame Lesh, son of founding bassist Phil Lesh, who died earlier this year, joined the band for his dad's signature song, 'Box of Rain,' then remained onstage for 'Playing in the Band,' which subtly incorporated elements of Miles Davis' 'All Blues.' From there, the band embraced its improvisational roots, guiding the crowd through a cosmic sequence of 'Eyes of the World,' 'Terrapin Station' and the free-form standards 'Drums' and 'Space.' Guitar phenom and opening act Billy Strings returned for a haunting 'Wharf Rat,' which nodded to 'The Other One' before dissolving into a jubilant 'Not Fade Away.' The night closed with a reverent encore of Bob Dylan's 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door,' sending fans into the fog, smiling and spent. Offstage, San Francisco embraced the celebration. The city wrapped three Muni vehicles in psychedelic prints — dubbed the 'Psychedeli-bus' and 'Trippy Train' — serving both festivalgoers and daily commuters. Eight specially bred 'Grateful Dead' roses were also planted in the park's historic Rose Garden. 'There's no better place to celebrate 60 years of the Grateful Dead than right here in San Francisco,' said Mayor Daniel Lurie earlier in the week. The shows, which continue through Sunday, Aug. 3, are expected to draw 60,000 attendees each night, with general admission tickets starting at $635 and some VIP packages reselling for more than $7,000. Still, for many in attendance, the cost was beside the point.

Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary draws thousands to Golden Gate Park
Sixty years after the Grateful Dead first formed in San Francisco, the spirit of the legendary jam band is alive and well in the city where it all began. Dead & Company, featuring original Grateful Dead members and new collaborators, is kicking off a three-day, sold-out concert series at Golden Gate Park this weekend. The performances are drawing tens of thousands of devoted fans, known as "Deadheads," from across the country, injecting a wave of excitement—and economic energy—into the city. "You can feel the music in the air," said Bruce Anderson, a fan who traveled from Denver. "It's the 60th anniversary and right here is where it all began. And so, I wanted to come here and just pay homage." Anderson wasn't alone. Hundreds of concertgoers lined up hours before gates opened on Friday, some singing, some simply soaking in the moment. Wade Emrick, made the journey from Florida, said both he and Anderson have attended hundreds of Grateful Dead-related shows over the decades. "I hope to hear a lot of psychedelic vibes from the late 60s," said Emrick. The opening act, bluegrass star Billy Strings, took the stage early Friday evening. Dead & Company is set to headline later each night of the weekend event. Beyond the music, the event is proving to be a windfall for local businesses, particularly those in the historic Haight-Ashbury district, the neighborhood where the Grateful Dead rose to prominence in the 1960s. "[The business has] catapulted like crazy," said "Magic Mike," owner of Psychedelic SF Art Gallery on Haight Street. "All the Deadheads are in here spending a bunch of money, it's great." A longtime fan himself, Magic Mike said his passion for the band evolved into a business. His gallery features a collection of rare Grateful Dead memorabilia, much of it from his own personal archive. "It was really easy to make it a business because in order to move around my house, I had to get the stuff out of there," he said. Nearby boutiques and shops are also benefiting from the surge in foot traffic. Ashley Bousquet, owner of the clothing store Luna Wild, said her sales have jumped by as much as 20 percent. "I've actually extended my hours, opened early. I'm definitely going to stay open late," she said. "It feels like the city is really coming back to life, which is nice." While the crowds have brought a celebratory energy to the area, they've also created logistical challenges. Parking is nearly impossible near the concert venue, and police have increased their presence to ensure safety. For Deadheads like Anderson and Emrick, however, the inconvenience is a small price to pay for what they describe as a spiritual experience. "Just the spirit and love and the peace that the Grateful Dead brought to us all these years has culminated into a 60th anniversary that's going to be absolutely an explosion of love," added Emrick. The concert series continues through the weekend, marking a milestone not just for the band but for the city that helped shape its legacy.
