05/25/03 - From Robert Hunter's Road Journal:
Songs coming out of my ears. Wrote one this morning called "Bakersfield Lullaby" for Sandy Rothman to set and maybe sing with Nelson one day. Weir and I have a good collaboration streak rolling with at least one high powered anthem in our sites and two others standing fair to bid. In Phil's corner, a couple of brand new ones, and a sizable handful of others he's been mulling over for awhile. Three new tunes composed with Mickey plus several he might bring over from the strong Bemba Rishi collaborations which shouldn't be left to gather mold. Half a dozen starters with Barraco, one of which I know for sure to be damned good. Talked to Bill about bringing "Iowa Soldier", which I love, over from the Trichrome pot. Looking at a good two dozen contenders here but will happily settle for half a dozen ready to rip.05/19/03 - From the Boulder Daily Camera:
The Dead, already legendary for releasing dozens of live albums, plans to follow in the footsteps of Pearl Jam and Phish this summer by releasing recordings of each show on its tour — but with a new, high-tech twist.04/16/03 - The Dead Summer Getaway 2003 Leg 2 dates are up on The Dead's official website.

Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and Steve Winwood will join The Dead for the group's first summer tour since Jerry Garcia's death.03/31/03 - From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
"My opinion was to call it Grateful Dead 5, because I think this is the fifth discrete version of the band, pretty much along keyboardist lines," Hunter says. "It leaves it open for a Grateful Dead 6 and a Grateful Dead 7 and - dare I say it? - maybe even a Grateful Dead 56.03/28/03 - According to GDTS TOO, Joan Osborne will be a member of The Dead on their Summer Getaway 2003 tour.
"I'd like to see this thing just run on. As I said in 'Cosmic Charley': 'New ones comin' as the old ones go.' I'd like there always to be a Grateful Dead."
The Dead has been working on at least six new songs with lyrics by Hunter. One tune may or may not end up being titled "Wrecking Crew." Hunter doesn't want to jinx the work in progress by giving away any other details.

In May, when it is time to rehearse for the next tour, the Dead will fly [Jimmy Herring] to its headquarters in San Rafael, Calif.02/22/03 - From Robert Hunter's Road Journal:
Personally, I want to see the remains of the unit survive regardless of name or personnel. But then, I've a vested interest in the survival of the songs which are, after all, my major life's work and likely to remain so. The rest of the founding members, me included, will be dead and gone soon enough and I hope to see a basis for carrying some iota of the gist of what this is all about, for what it's worth, across future generations.02/14/03 - The Dead will play the Bonnaroo Music Festival in June 2003.
02/12/03 - According to the Marin IJ, The Dead "plan to tour again this summer with Steve Winwood and other rock stars as guests."

02/08/03 - Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Jimmy Herring, Jeff Chimenti, and Rob Barraco have decided to call themselves: "The Dead." Their first show of 2003 will take place on 02/14/03 at the Warfield Theater. Also, a note on the Valentine's Bash Ticket Information page says:

02/02/03 - From the Arizona Republic:
Weir does offer a certainty about his former bandmates, offering hope to Valley Deadheads who couldn't make last year's tour:01/31/03 - In an interview on 103.5 The Fox in Denver, Derek Trucks supposedly mentioned that his wife Susan Tedeschi will be singing with the Other Ones again this summer.

01/03/03 - From Billboard.com:
Weir says that he and his former Dead bandmates are considering reuniting as the Other Ones -- a group that also features Jeff Chimenti (keyboardist in Weir's Ratdog) and two members of Lesh's band, Phil Lesh & Friends, keyboardist/vocalist Rob Barraco and guitarist Jimmy Herring -- for "three, four, five events, probably on long holiday weekends [in 2003]." That, he says, "will probably be enough. If we're gonna make the effort to go out and tour, I would expect what we have to do is spend some time together and come up with new material to make it aesthetically worth our while."
