25th Anniversary Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Concert Tickets Alert

A rumored reunion tour of the surviving Grateful Dead members is taking place in 2009. Touring as The Dead, the band will feature Jeff Chimenti on keyboards and Warren Haynes on lead guitar. You may be familiar with Haynes’s outstanding guitar playing for the Allman Brothers and Gov’t Mule.

Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh and Billy Kreutzmann round out the troupe and The Dead Tickets are expected to be a hot item this spring as the tour kicks off in April. At SelectATicket.com you can view a list of 2009 The Dead Tour Dates and sign up for The Dead Ticket Alert to be notified when tickets are available.

With the addition of Warren Haynes on lead guitar, I think this tour has become a must-see for any old school Deadhead. Warren is an amazingly talented guitarist and while not imitating Jerry Garcia’s style, he comes closer than any other guitarist possibly could to making it a true, legitimate Grateful Dead-like experience.

So if you’re a fan of The Dead, are interested in seeing them in 2009 but you Need a Miracle, head on over to www.SelectATicket.com and sign up for The Dead Tickets Alert service.
