Grateful Dead’s Spirit is Alive and Well in 2010

Further came to the Mullins Center at UMass Amherst on February 19, featuring Bob Weir and Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead.

I can’t say if the mothership ever arrived for  Sideshow Bob above, but the rest of the earthlings partied like Jerry Garcia was still on this side of the grass.

The band’s lineup also includes John Kadlecik, formerly of the Dark Star Orchestra, stepping into Jerry’s spot on guitar.

Here’s Kadlecik and the Dark Star Orchestra in November 2008:
