04/23/02 - From Billboard.com:
While some of the Grateful Dead's many members have worked together in various incarnations in the six or so years since Garcia's death, a full on band project has not surfaced... yet.

"There are plans afoot," Hart divulges. "I cannot reveal [specific details] at the present time. But I think something's happening. I think there has been a shift of attitudes. I think that everybody's ready to put their differences in the past, and something might happen."

Pressed for details to satiate the rabid Deadhead sect, Hart remains coy, saying only, "Nope. I cannot reveal any more."
04/09/02 - From the Associated Press:
Hart said the usual tour with the surviving members of the Grateful Dead is on hold for this year while they work on other projects.
03/22/02 - Phil Lesh and Friends' new album There and Back Again will be released on 05/21/02. Also, PR Newswire lists some P&F tour dates for May through July.
