The Dead no more! This will be the last year for the touring Grateful Dead.

Not much to be said. Jerry is gone and John Mayer's been filling in for him, Bill Kreutzmann's been having increasing health problems - not Covid-related - and didn't join in for a Mexico concert series last year because of concerns for playing in the heat, bassist Phil Lesh passed entirely on this Dead And Company tour, and now it's all coming to an end.

The schedule has been announced on the band's web site, tickets went on sale this morning. The tour starts June 11 at Dodger Stadium and ends July 16 at New York's Citi Field.

And then the Do-Dah Man will get some sleep, because he won't be truckin' no more. It has certainly been a long, strange trip that has finally come to an end.
