No, it has never been the same in the world of the Grateful Dead since the band lost its reluctant leader, Jerry Garcia, in 1995. Garcia's visionary talent is indeed of the irreplaceable variety. But of all the post-Garcia Dead spinoffs, Furthur is the finest, as the band's stellar twin-set performance in First Niagara Center on Sunday made plain. This was indeed as good as it's possible to get sans Garcia. Led by Dead founding members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, Furthur -- its name a nod to the Merry Pranksters and Ken Kesey, whose multihued bus bore a destination plate with that very inscription - - is carrying on the Dead's good deeds with an eye on deepening the ensemble improvisation approach.
MORGANTOWN - For 12 years, the All Good Festival has entertained music fans from around the world. Combining live music, art, food and camping, All Good continues to grow in popularity. From The Black Crowes and Bob Weir to the Yonder Mountain String Band and The Flaming Lips, All Good's yearly lineups have attracted fans from all 50 states and some other countries.

The Dead's most recent tour came last spring and it was during that time that [Bob Weir] reignited the musical spark with another original founder of the group, bassist [Phil Lesh]. While those two have jammed together when their respective bands have crossed paths on the road (Lesh has been touring since 1999 with his outfit Phil Lesh and Friends), they have never hit the road together. But after the Dead tour ended last fall, the duo had the itch to keep the music going, and decided to form a new band called Furthur-possibly derived from the name of the aforementioned Merry Prankster bus, also dubbed Further-along with guitarist John Kadlecik from the Dark Star Orchestra, Weir's Ratdog bandmates Jeff Chimenti on keyboards and Jay Lane on drums, as well as second percussionist Joe Russ...
Linda Walbridge likes music. She has seen Furthur, the rock band formed by Grateful Dead legends Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. But Walbridge won't be focused on the performance this Independence Day, when Furthur headlines the Nateva Music & Camping Festival at the Oxford Fairgrounds. Promoters hope to attract 15,000 people to this first-time event in the Oxford Hills. Walbridge, who heads the Western Maine Economic Development Council, will be trying to transform the publicity and money left behind by the three-day festival into regional growth.

Jackie Greene was an early bloomer. He started out playing piano and guitar and singing at open mics in California at the tender age of 14. By the time he turned 25, Greene was playing Grateful Dead songs in one of Dead bassist Phil Lesh's strongest lineups of his ongoing Phil & Friends project.
Gov't Mule continues to evolve. Led by in-demand guitarist Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers Band, Phil Lesh & Friends), Mule - my first Pick of the Week - has expanded from a rock and roll power trio (in the tradition of ZZ Top and Foghat) to a four piece adding keyboard player Danny Louis. The band's new release, "High & Mighty," is constructed on a foundation of basic blues figures while also reflecting the freedom and spontaneity of jazz improvisation.
