Grateful Dead to regroup for Obama benefit at Penn State

The surviving members of the Grateful Dead have confirmed they will regroup to play at least one concert to benefit Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
The band - without legendary guitarist Jerry Garcia who died in 1995 - will perform Oct. 13 at the Bryce Jordan Center at the Penn State campus in State College, Pa.

The Allman Brothers Band is also on the bill.

It will be the first time since 2004 that Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Micky Hart have played together.

Guitarist Warren Haynes and keyboard player Jeff Chimenti will fill out the sound, according to a report in Relix, a music magazine long aligned with the Dead.

A spring tour could be in the works if the reunion performance goes well

I talked with a VERY nice lady several hours ago and she told me that that admin told her that the contract has not been signed and for me to just stay alert. So thats neither a yeh nor ney. But she did say that the admin had talked to her about it this morning and to expect some calls! lol All this came from the lady at the hotline for tix at Penn State.
