It is old news that the latest Grateful Dead formation,
Furthur featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, is taking a 2014 hiatus after their sold-out
four-night event in January called Paradise Waits at the Hard Rock Hotel
Riviera Maya in Mexico. After their bash
on the beach, Weir and Lesh both intend to keep playing music, focusing on
their solo projects. This is
understandable considering Furthur’s intense touring schedule over the past
four years. It was just announced that
Lesh, 73, is teaming up with heavyweight music promoter and Relix Magazine
publisher Peter Shapiro to pursue an easier way to keep the music going after
46 years on the road.

Lesh will understandably
be foregoing the hectic tours and the one-nighters, and instead will focus on
multi-show runs and residencies at venues owned by Shapiro. This includes up to 30 nights at the Capitol
Theatre in Port Chester, NY, and a series at the bowling themed Brooklyn Bowl
in Brooklyn, NY. Phil Lesh (Phillip Chapman Lesh) will also be playing at his own venue
called Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, California, at the Brooklyn Bowl Las
Vegas which is set to open in 2014, and Shapiro’s Lockn’ Festival in
September. If you are lucky enough to
live in New York, San Francisco, or Las Vegas, don’t miss the opportunity to
see this legend keep the magic alive. If
you don’t live near these cities and you’re a deadhead, 2014 is without a doubt
the time to get out and travel. Today Phil Lesh performed a free concert in Central Park in New York City. A small crowd developed despite the cold weather and last minute announcement of the performance.
