The Grateful Dead will issue CDs and video of their upcoming “Fare Thee Well” concerts under the title Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of the Grateful Dead this fall. The concerts, scheduled to take place over July 3rd, 4th and 5th at Chicago’s Soldier Field, will find the band’s surviving members – drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, bassist Phil Lesh and guitarist Bob Weir – playing two sets of music each night alongside guitarist Trey Anastasio, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and pianist Bruce Hornsby. A limited-edition release will offer audio and video of the complete event via the band’s website.
