First it was Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann who said he “would like to do” more shows, and now Jerry Garcia’s daughter is saying more of the same. According to a new interview with Glide Magazine, Trixie Garcia seems rather confident that there will be more shows, albeit not with the same lineup.
“There will be more events. There’s no one looking at all of those 70,000 people and thinking it’s not going to happen again. In some shape or form obviously – with that exact lineup I highly doubt – but we’ll see. There’s definitely going to be more large events.”
She continued, saying “Yeah, there’s a feeling that our fanbase wouldn’t be served if there were no more events. I think it’s pretty obvious to everybody. Everybody wants to go to more shows.”
If the Grateful Dead shows in Santa Clara were any indication, tens of thousands of fans would be more than happy to see more Dead shows in honor of the band’s 50th anniversary. And if the rumors about John Mayer are true, there just might be a full-scale tour coming this fall.
