Furthur is a rock band founded in 2009 by former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. The original lineup also included John Kadlecik of the Dark Star Orchestra on lead guitar, Jeff Chimenti of RatDog on keyboards, Jay Lane of RatDog on percussion, and Joe Russo of the Benevento/Russo Duo on drums.[1] Named after the famous touring bus used by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters in the 1960s, Furthur is an improvisational jam band that performs music primarily from the extensive Grateful Dead songbook, as well as their own original music and that of several other well-known artists. In addition to the original members (with the exception of Jay Lane, who left the band in March 2010 to rejoin his previous funk metal rock band, Primus), the band's current lineup also includes backup vocalists Sunshine Becker of the a cappella ensemble SoVoSó and Jeff Pehrson of the folk rock bands Box Set and The Fall Risk.

[edit] History
Four months after Jerry Garcia's death in August, 1995, the Grateful Dead officially disbanded.[2] However, band members continued to perform over the subsequent years in other bands such as RatDog, Phil Lesh & Friends, the Rhythm Devils, The Other Ones, and The Dead. After a four year hiatus following their "Wave That Flag" summer tour in 2004, The Dead performed two 2008 shows supporting the Obama campaign, billed as "Deadheads for Obama" and "Change Rocks", as well at one of the Obama inaugural balls in 2009, ultimately giving rise to a 2009 spring tour. During this reunion, Weir and Lesh, who admitted having great fun playing together again, decided to form a new band. In August, 2009, the musicians announced that they had formed a new band, Furthur, with Kadlecik, Chimenti, Lane, and Russo.[1][3]
The band is named after the 1939 International Harvester psychedelic multicolored bus used by novelist Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters to tour America in 1964 when they attended the New York World's Fair for the debut of Kesey's second novel, Sometimes A Great Notion. "Furthur" was the inscription on the destination placard of the bus and was also the name given to the multicolored bus. "In many ways, the "Furthur" destination of the bus — piloted by Neal Cassady, inspiration for the character Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's On The Road — represented the mind-set of the transition from Beat Generation culture to the more heavily drug-infused hippie culture and the LSD-based psychedelic culture, with Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady, the Merry Pranksters, and the Grateful Dead — all alumni of the Acid Tests — as ambassadors and guides on that cognitive and conceptual journey". The Grateful Dead performed as the house band for many of the Acid Tests, which ran from 1965–1966.[4]
As the latest post-Garcia incarnation of the Grateful Dead, Furthur retains much of the characteristic style and texture of the Dead. In addition to performing many of the songs regularly played in concert by the Dead, Furthur has tried to "keep it fresh" by routinely adding new material to their setlists. This includes many songs resurrected from the Grateful Dead's extensive songbook, including several rarely or never performed live by the Grateful Dead, like "Alice D. Millionaire", as well as several cover songs from bands including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Ryan Adams, Van Morrison and The Clash. They have also written several new original songs which they perform regularly.
[edit] Performances
[edit] 2009
The band debuted with performances on September 18, 19, and 20, 2009, at the Fox Theatre in Oakland, California. The band, Vice (now known as Maiden Lane), featuring Phil's son, Grahame, opened for Furthur on Saturday, September 19.[5] They then performed for a single night on November 20 at the small, 200 person capacity, 19 Broadway in Fairfax, CA, advertised only by a last minute announcement, and with tickets available only at the door on a first come, first served basis.[6] The Oakland debut shows were followed by five additional concerts in the Northeast (NY, CT, NJ) in December 2009,[7] as well as live rehearsal sessions[8] and two New Year's shows in Mill Valley, CA and San Francisco, CA, respectively. During the New Year's Eve performances, the band introduced backing vocalists Sunshine Becker and Zoe Ellis,[9] who remained in the lineup for the remainder of the winter tour.[10][11]
[edit] 2010
Additional live rehearsal sessions continued for the first half of January 2010 in Mill Valley, CA. The band then toured the U.S. (primarily East Coast, with a few shows in Chicago, IL, Broomfield, CO, and Portland, OR) from February 2 through March 8, 2010, and performed in San Francisco on March 12, 2010 to celebrate Phil Lesh's upcoming 70th birthday.[12] On March 18, 2010, Phil Lesh posted on popular fansite PhilZone.com an announcement that drummer Jay Lane had left Furthur to rejoin his prior group, Primus.[13] Zoe Ellis also left the group at this time to focus on her a cappella ensemble, SoVoSó. Backup vocalist Jeff Pehrson subsequently joined Furthur, debuting May 24, 2010.[14]
In February 2010, official announcements were released that the group would be performing at three music festivals in the summer of 2010, including the Nateva Music & Camping Festival in Oxford, ME on July 4, the All Good Music Festival in Masontown, WV on July 9, and the Gathering of the Vibes [15] festival in Bridgeport, CT on July 30. Additional stops on the tour, which ran from June 25 until July 30 and included 17 shows, included Rochester, NY, Brooklyn, NY, Jim Thorpe, PA, Lowell, MA, Columbus, OH, Mohawk, NY, Stroudsburg, PA (which replaced a canceled show in Shelburne, VT[16]), Ottawa, ON, Lewiston, NY, Philadelphia, PA, and New York, NY. In addition to the three festivals on the East Coast, Furthur resurrected the "Furthur Festival" at Mountain Aire in Angels Camp, CA on Memorial Day weekend May 28-30th, 2010, at which they played six of their classic albums live.[17]
Following a performance on August 14, 2010 in Golden Gate Park at the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, Furthur initiated their first West Coast tour, commencing September 16, 2010 in Eugene, OR and ending September 26, 2010 in Morrison, CO at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. A short Midwest/East Coast tour followed, beginning November 8, 2010 in Minneapolis, MN and ending on November 21, 2010 in New York, NY at Madison Square Garden. Two New Year's shows concluded the 2010 year, with Furthur performing a total of 77 shows, and 18 live rehearsal sessions since their September 2009 inception.[5]
[edit] 2011
Furthur's debut in 2011 began with three shows at the Odeum Colorado in February 2011 (announced December 3, 2010), followed shortly thereafter by a 24 show East Coast tour (announced January 6, 2011) beginning on March 4 in Boston, MA and ending April 6 in Boca Raton, FL. This tour featured several multi-night runs in mid-size venues including five nights at Best Buy Theater in New York, NY, five nights at Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA (outside of Philadelphia), and three nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York, NY. The 2011 summer tour (announced on April 8, 2011) began on June 3 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA and concluded on July 31 at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park in Alpharetta, GA, with the bulk of the shows on the East Coast.
A 2011 West Coast tour (announced on June 4, 2011) began on September 23 at Cuthbert Amphitheatre in Eugene, OR and ended on October 8 at Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, CA. A 2011 East Coast/Midwest fall tour (announced on September 9, 2011) began November 3 at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH[18] and ended November 21 at Old National Center in Indianapolis, IN.[19] Due to "unforeseen production complications", the November 15 show at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, PA, was canceled and replaced with a performance the same day at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY.[20] A three-show New Year's Eve run (announced on October 14, 2011) took place on December 29, 30, and 31 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.[21]
[edit] 2012
A 2012 East Coast spring tour (announced on December 9, 2011), which includes only three venues, will begin on April 5 at Wang Theatre in Boston, MA and will end with an eight night run at Beacon Theatre in New York, NY, concluding on April 18 (the third venue is Toyota Presents: The Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, CT).[22]
[edit] Special appearances
On Monday, August 9, 2010, the San Francisco Giants held a Jerry Garcia Tribute Night at AT&T Park, sponsored by Ben & Jerry's, the Rex Foundation, and the 8th Annual Jerry Day. The Giants played the Chicago Cubs, and the National Anthem was sung by Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, and Jeff Pehrson.[23][24] Later that season, the Giants played the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship Series, and on Thursday, October 21, 2010 (Game 5 of the NLCS), the National Anthem was once again sung by Lesh, Weir, and Pehrson.[25][26] The following year, on Tuesday, August 9, 2011, the Giants celebrated the 2nd annual Grateful Dead Night (on Jerry Day), playing the Pittsburgh Pirates. The National Anthem was sung by Lesh, Weir, and Giants' 3rd base coach and singer-songwriter, Tim Flannery and the 7th inning stretch was led by Mickey Hart and Bill Walton.[27][28]

[edit] Tamalpais Research Institute (TRI)
On Tuesday, June 7, 2011, Furthur performed live at Tamalpais Research Institute (aka TRI Studios) in San Rafael, CA. TRI, a virtual venue, is the brainchild of Bob Weir, and is a state-of-the-art multimedia performance studio designed with the purpose of broadcasting live high definition (HD) video and audio streams directly over the internet.[29][30][31] The event, billed as Furthur Experiments at TRI, was broadcast in real time over the internet in HD video with stereo sound and was available to those who ordered the pay-per-view event for $19.95. The performance included 13 songs (counting Terrapin Suite as one song), had no break, and lasted about two-and-a-half hours, beginning 6:00PM PDT. The performance was also simulcast for free in New York's Brooklyn Bowl ("BOWLcast"). While the performance was well-received by fans, several had trouble viewing the event due to technical difficulties related to server/website load balancing software (subsequently corrected).[32] As a result, TRI Studios rebroadcast the entire concert as a continuous loop stream from June 10, 2011 at 12:00 Noon until June 12, 2011 at 6:00 PM PDT, and made it accessible to those who had originally paid for the event.[33] Bob Weir plans to regularly host and broadcast performances by various musicians at TRI. Prior to the Furthur webcast, TRI Studios has been used for rehearsal sessions by Journey in February, 2011, by Scaring the Children (featuring Bob Weir, Rob Wasserman and Jay Lane) with Jackie Greene in April, 2011, and for the First Fusion collaboration between Bob Weir and the Marin Symphony, which premiered on May 7, 2011 at the Marin Center. The first webcast from TRI, which was free, occurred on Friday, May 13, 2011 and was appropriately dubbed TRIday the 13th with "Bob Weir and Friends", featuring Bob Weir, Jay Lane, Jeff Chimenti, Rob Wasserman, Steve Kimock, Robin Sylvester, and a four piece horn section (Marco D'Ambrosio and Jim Radseth on trumpet, Art Austin on clarinet, and Zach Spellman on tuba).[34] The second pay-per-view event, which cost $10, featured Slightly Stoopid and was broadcast on September 13, 2011[35] (with free rebroadcast from September 17, 2011 at 6 :00 PM until September 18, 2011 at 6:00 PM PDT, as well as a full refund to those who purchased the event, to compensate for technical difficulties during the live broadcast), and featured special guests Bob Weir, Ivan Neville and Ian Neville (of Dumpstaphunk), Karl D of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, and Don Carlos Reggae.[36][37][38] Following this, a free webcast was broadcast, featuring Chickenfoot, billed as Chickenfoot Presents III, on the release date of their album, Chickenfoot III, on September 27, 2011 at 6:00 PM PDT (free rebroadcast September 28, 2011 at 12:00 PDT).[39] On October 18, 19, and 20, 2011, The Fall Risk rehearsed and recorded at TRI, but did not webcast, and intend to release video of the sessions.[40] On October 21 at 7:00 PM PDT, during their annual three-day "Communion in the Redwoods" gathering in Big Sur, CA, Communion artists Matthew and the Atlas, The David Mayfield Parade, and Lauren Shera performed a free live webcast from TRI (rebroadcast on October 22 at 12:00 PM PDT).[41] On November 21, 2011 at 6:30 PM PST, TRI hosted a free webcast headlining Planet of the Abts (POA), featuring drummer Matt Abts and bassist Jorgen Carlsson of Gov’t Mule, and guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist T-Bone Andersson; Las Vegas funk/rock band Moksha opened for POA.[42] On December 21, 2011, TRI hosted a Psychedelic Christmas "present", featuring Scaring the Children for a three song free webcast at 6:00 PM PST and 9:00 PM PST.[43] On December 23, 2011, TRI rebroadcast, without charge, the June 7, 2011 Furthur event, Furthur Experiments at TRI, rebilled as The Night Before the Night Before Christmas, at 4:00 PM PST and 7:00 PM PST.[44] On December 25, 2011, TRI announced that RatDog will reunite for a free webcast on January 25, 2011 at 5:00 PM PST.[45]
[edit] Terrapin Crossroads
On March 29, 2011, Phil Lesh posted a statement on the Furthur.net site community message board that he was planning to open a new live music venue in Marin County, California in the near future. Said Lesh, "We're taking the first steps to make a long time dream - a permanent musical home - come true. We are purchasing a building in Marin, and plan on remodeling it to feel like an old barn; we're calling it Terrapin Landing. We will continue with Furthur while making music at Terrapin Landing when we are at home. The music will be varied, featuring: Phil Lesh & Friends (continuing the tradition of revolving lineups, including old as well as new friends); West Coast Rambles, based on (and blessed by) Levon Helm's historic Rambles; Album night - we pick a favorite album or two to play live; Telstar night - we put together a band for free form improvisation; Sing-alongs to monthly Sunday morning gospel music; Trivia nights; Monthly big band night; Seminars with local musicians and artists; Our goal is to create a vibrant community gathering place: beautiful, comfortable, welcoming - for members of the community to commingle and enjoy good music".[46][47][48] In April, 2011, Lesh disclosed more details about "Terrapin Landing", originally planned as a remodel of The Good Earth natural food store in Fairfax, California, which would then be used to host a variety of musical fare.[49] However, in July, 2011, this initial plan was changed from utilizing The Good Earth property to the construction of a brand new structure in the adjacent lot formerly occupied by a gas station and car repair shop.[50][51] On August 1 (Jerry Garcia's birthday), formal plans for what is now being called "Terrapin Crossroads" were submitted to the Fairfax Town Council for approval. The building is designed as a three floor, 16500 square foot structure (8250 square foot footprint), that will accommodate about 500 people, and which will host between 50 and 100 performances per year. If approved, construction will begin in the summer of 2012 and will be completed in the summer of 2013.[52][53][54][55] The project is not without controversy, however, particularly among the local residents of Fairfax, who are concerned about the potential traffic, noise, trash, loitering, vagrancy, crime, and drugs that the venue might bring to the small, quiet town of about 7300 people (as of 2011).[56][57] A Fairfax town council meeting whose agenda was to include a discussion about the venue, including a proposal for a traffic study, was scheduled for Wednesday, August 17, 2011. However, the Leshes pulled the topic from the agenda after someone anonymously posted signs reading, "No Terrapin, Please", along Phil's normal morning walking route in his home town of Ross a day or two earlier.[58][59] The Fairfax Chamber of Commerce hosted a Town Hall meeting on the Terrapin Crossroads project on September 1.[60][61] Town Manager Michael Rock, Planning Director Jim Moore and Bruce Burman of Jazz Builders, the project manager for the proposed Phil Lesh-backed music venue, made presentations and answered questions. Given the ongoing controversy about citing the venue in Fairfax, the Leshes decided to ponder the situation during the month of September, and announce their ultimate decision sometime in October.[62][63][64][65][66] On November 8, Bruce Burman released a statement from the Leshes: "After careful consideration we have decided not to move forward with Terrapin Crossroads in Fairfax. For all of you that have supported our efforts and helped to define the vision, we are extremely grateful. Phil looks forward to making music and creating a community gathering place sooner rather than later."[67][68]
On January 2nd, 2012 Phil announced that Terrapin Crossroads will be located at the current location of the Seafood Peddler in San Rafael. Furthur did some rehearsal shows a couple years ago in their Palm Ballroom.
