Bobby Weir Considers Grateful Dead Trio Reunion After Lesh's Death

Bobby Weir has expressed openness to the possibility of a Grateful Dead reunion as a trio, following the passing of bassist Phil Lesh in October. Reflecting on the band's 60th anniversary, Weir acknowledged that Lesh's absence significantly changes the dynamics, stating, "I think when Phil checked out, so did that notion." He emphasized the unique role Lesh played in the band and noted that any reunion would not seek to replace him but would instead consist of himself and the two drummers, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. Although Weir has not finalized any plans, he hinted at the potential to explore new musical arrangements with the remaining members. Additionally, Weir reminisced about his last conversation with Lesh, highlighting their complex relationship and shared experiences. The future of the Grateful Dead remains uncertain, but Weir's comments suggest that any collaboration among the surviving members is still a possibility.
