After fifty years, six keyboardists, countless acid tests, a journey to Egypt, record-breaking runs at Madison Square Garden, a Top Ten single, numerous spinoff bands, many good trips, a few bad ones, and nearly 3000 concerts, the Grateful Dead are closing the curtain on a spectacular, half-century (!) run over the next two weekends.
The core four surviving original membersBob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hartwill be performing five shows over two weekends. The first will take place tonight, Saturday, June 27 (at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m PT), and the second tomorrow, Sunday, June 28 (at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT); both are being held at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, not too far from the Palo Alto locales where they first came together.
The third, fourth, and fifth shows will go down at Soldier Field in Chicago (on July 3rd, 4th and 5th), where the Dead played their final two shows as the Grateful Dead in July 1995, a month before guitarist and de facto leader Jerry Garcia died, effectively ending the band.
All five Fare Thee Well shows will be available to stream in a wide variety of packages and options.

(27,509 posts)Grateful Deads Bob Weir says fare thee well to his birth father
By Paul Liberatore, Marin Independent Journal

As the surviving members of the Grateful Dead kick off their series of Fare Thee Well concerts this weekend at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, one esteemed member of the bands family will be there in memory and spirit only. Jack Louis Parber, a retired Air Force colonel who learned late in life that he was the biological father of Grateful Dead singer-guitarist Bob Weir, had been a fixture at his sons concerts ever since the rock n roll hall-of-famer contacted him in 1996, beginning what would become a belated, but close, father-son relationship.
<snip>
In failing health after a series of falls, retired Col. Parber died April 10 of a pulmonary embolism at the Veterans Affairs hospital in San Francisco. Weir and his wife, Natascha, hosted his memorial at Sweetwater Music Hall, their hometown Mill Valley nightclub.
<snip>
In his eulogy, the 67-year-old musician recalled his father telling him that if he hadnt gone into the Air Force, he would have liked to have been an opera singer. In keeping with the Grateful Deads aversion to sentimentality, the printed program for the service had a color photo of Col. Parber on the front and, inside, a handwritten inscription saying, They dont make em like Jack anymore.
The story of how Weir found his birth father and embraced him and the brothers he didnt know he had is a fascinating sidebar to the long, strange trip of the Grateful Dead.
Remarkably, all four of Weirs brothers are guitar players. The oldest, Novato resident Anthony Parber, a 63-year-old retired field economist for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, performed at the Sweetwater service with his band, the Beatles Project.
<snip>
As a condition of the adoption, the birth mother was not to contact her son while his adopted parents were alive. They died in 1972, but Weir didnt hear from her for another decade. He had just gotten home from a tour, gone to bed exhausted and was in the middle of a strange dream about his family home, a brother and a stillborn baby when he was awakened by the phone ringing. It was the Grateful Dead office saying that a woman named Phyllis had called, claiming to be his mother. It turned out that she was who she said she was.
