Bob Weir & Ratdog - 1996-06-20 - Further Festival, Atlanta GA (SBD)

When Jerry Garcia passed away in 1995, the Grateful Dead's long strange 3 decade trip came to an unexpected end. The members of the band decided, at least temporarily, not to continue to play together out of respect for Jerry. They would change their minds in 1998 and reform as The Other Ones, and later play as the Dead and now as Further. In 1996 and 1997, however, they took a different approach to touring. The Further Festival made the rounds in the summer of those 2 years, a collection of bands with links to Dead, such as Bob Weir's Ratdog, Mickey Hart's Planet Drum, kindred spirits Hot Tuna and former GD keyboardist, Bruce Hornsby, just to name a few. This soundboard recording captures Weir & Ratdog during the first year of the Furthur Festival tour, in Atlanta on June 20, 1996, 29 years ago today.  Weir gets some help from his Furthur Festival touring partners - Bruce Hornsby, Mickey Hart, Jack Casady, Jorma Kaukonen and Los Lobos - on several songs!
