Bob Weir and Phil Lesh to Webcast First Ever Duo Tour

Founding members of The Grateful Dead hit the road for the first time as a duo.

Even after all these years, members of The Grateful Dead are still finding a way to push the envelope and explore new things.  Beginning tonight at Radio City Music Hall, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh will embark on their first ever set of shows as a duo.  Clearly, something must have clicked when the two founding members of The Dead reunited last summer for an entire Phil & Friends set at Lockn’ Music Festival.
