All you deadheads, some bad news... RatDog (Bob Weir's band) has cancelled its entire fall tour, which was scheduled to start October 7. Apparently Bobby just can;t rock out this fall. This is a major bummer for all who love the deadhead sound and vibe - I caught a show this spring in DC and it was WAY better than I expected, great long jams, many Dead tunes. I thought it was even better than the Dead this summer. The fall tour looked crazy, about 40 or morw shows in small, cool venues all over the country, including many places the Dead haven't played in years, if ever. So, cue up one of your favorite tapes, pack one up, and give a little prayer for Bobby's health! DETAILS below...... FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 6, 2004 RatDog must regretfully announce the postponement of the Bob Weir and RatDog tour scheduled to begin tomorrow, October 7th, in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Since January, Bob Weir has worked continuously on music dates for RatDog and The Dead, promotional work for his career retrospective album, and a number of nonprofit appearances. It was all simply too much, and he's reached a point of complete physical exhaustion. He anticipates returning to performing in early spring 2005. No one regrets more than he the postponement of these shows, but he and his management concluded that his long-term health was a greater priority. That and his desire to give his fans only the best possible performance outweighed the difficulties of rescheduling the tour. We will be in touch once it is determined how to deal with the details of this postponement. Give us a minute to sort all this out, if you would please.
