In a new interview on CBS Mornings, the surviving members of the Grateful Dead — Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart — revealed that they were discussing a reunion with Phil Lesh before the band’s co-founder and bassist died last month at the age of 84. The interview took place only five days after Lesh’s death, and he was originally supposed to join the other members for the interview to mark their upcoming Kennedy Center Honors recognition. “I was hoping that we could play with him again once more,” Kreutzmann revealed. “I know he wanted to play with us again, too.” When asked if a reunion was previously in the works, all three responded yes, with Weir adding: “We were kicking it around. In fact, we were going to get together and kick some songs around.” The last time Lesh played with Grateful Dead was in 2015 as part of the band’s 50th anniversary celebration “Fare Thee Well” shows.
