Reunions Of The Grateful Dead
The Grateful Dead were an American rock band known for their lengthy, improvised, performances as well as a loyal fan base that often followed the band for several shows or entire tours. Following the 1995 death of bandleader Jerry Garcia the remaining members have reunited for several one-off performances and tours, although often in very different configurations. The following is a list of instances where former Grateful Dead members have reunited.
Other than Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead's main members were Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. Weir, Lesh and Kreutzmann had all been in the band from its inception in 1965 until its demise in 1995 while Hart had a tenure of 25 years. Instances in the full reunions category are performances where all four of these members played together. Partial reunions are performances where only three of them performed together.
