The Dead is an American rock band that emerged from the band The Other Ones .
Band history
After the band The Other Ones was founded in 1998 by the remaining Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh , Bob Weir , Mickey Hart and the occasional member Bruce Hornsby , and the musicians toured under this name from 1998 to 2002, the name became The Dead in 2003 changed. This renaming was not unanimous, so Bob Weir was against the change.
In addition to the old line-up of Weir, Lesh, Hart and Bill Kreutzmann , Jimmy Herring , Jeff Chimenti , Rob Barraco and Joan Osborne joined between 2002 and 2003 .
In 2003, on Valentine's Day , the band made their first appearance under a new name at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco . Susan Tedeschi was also a brief member in 2002 and 2003. On June 15 of the same year, the band began their summer tour at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee . The tour ended on New Years Eve 2003 when the band made two appearances at McAfee Coliseum , Oakland . Osborne received particularly good reviews on this tour.
In 2004 Barraco and Osborne left the band to have more time for the Phil Lesh & Friends project and other smaller projects. In return, Warren Haynes , who previously played with Weir and Lesh, was brought in as an additional guitarist.
On August 19, 2004, The Dead performed at HiFi Buys Amphitheater in Atlanta , Georgia for the last time for a long time until they played 23 concerts again on a spring tour of 2009 from May to April. During this tour they were invited to the Oval Office by President Barack Obama , and Tipper Gore played drums on the second evening to the song "Sugar Magnolia".
