Very sad news. It wasn't all that long ago that Donna Godchaux, and Phil Lesh before her, passed away. 

I'm very glad I got to see him several times, including solo acoustic opening for Bob Dylan and most recently with Dead & Co in 2021 in Hershey, PA. 

Thanks for all the music

I only began to appreciate the Dead late in life.  Huge loss for the jam band world...........

Of course Jai Johnny Johnson only ABB left. 

Of the original 5 members of the Grateful Dead, Bill Kreutzmann is the only one left; Mickey Hart joined the band in 1967 after their first self titled album had been recorded, I believe.

Tom Constanten, their sometime keyboard player from 1968 to 1970 or so is still around, but is fighting lung cancer himself right now, sadly.

@jack_frost Thanks Jack. I'm not as familiar with the history of the GD as I am with the ABB. 

Duane Betts posted this clip Bob sent him about his father Dickey passing away in 2024. 

Unfortunately it won't let me link it. It's on Duane Betts' Facebook page.

R.I.P & thanks for the musical memories of growing up when and where I did & with whom.  The music NEVER stopped

Hopefully, nobody left his dead ass there by the side of the road. : }

I had the pleasure of meeting Mickey after a show back in the day.  He was a cool, friendly guy.  Fun times!
