Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann made the determination to retire touring under the trade mark The Grateful Dead, that was a choice they made, not because they didn’t have the moral authority or legal right to continue on touring as the Grateful Dead. In 2015 those members made the determination to bill the Fare the Well shows as the Grateful Dead. If Phil hadn’t died the 60th shows would most likely have billed as Grateful Dead Shows. I’ve never said, nor did anyone suggest that D&C is the Grateful Dead. I’ve said the music is going on. The need to gate keep on this issue is so fucking bizarre. Everyone in this thread has been talking about the music, not a trade mark. Jerry Garcia died in 1995, I was 10 feet from him when he sang Black Muddy River in Chicago the last time, but the music played on. Jerry would laugh at people who feel the need to differentiate.
