After nearly a decade of off-again on-again relations between former Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, we seem to be smack dab in the middle of an on-again period. Phil and Bobby, who are teaming up with Billy and Mickey for an Obama benefit on October 13, will travel to New York City the next day for a rare in-store appearance.
Phil and Bobby will be signing copies of Rocking The Cradle: Egypt 1978 at the Best Buy in midtown Manhattan at 5th Avenue and East 44th Street on October 14 starting at 7:00 PM. In order to secure one of the wristbands that guarantee a moment with the lead bassist and rhythm guitarists, you’ll need to be among the first 400 people to buy Rocking The Cradle at that same Best Buy location on September 30. The store opens at 10AM next Tuesday, so get there early if you want your moment with Phil and Bobby.
In other Dead news, the band’s website just posted a recently recorded interview between Former band manager Richard Loren and GDH host David Gans about the planning and inspiration that went into the Egypt shows. Loren shares some interesting stories about the “beautiful chaos” that went on behind the scenes, which is the best part of the 35 minute clip.
