Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir has died. Weir played rhythm guitar and sang lead vocals for the entirety of the Grateful Dead's 30-year tenure. He also founded and played in several bands during and after his time with the Dead, including Kingfish, the Bob Weir Band, Bobby and the Midnites, Scaring the Children, RatDog, and Furthur. After the Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, Weir performed with other former members of the band in a group called the Other Ones, later known as the Dead. Weir recently continued playing with Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, along with John Mayer, in an outfit called Dead & Company.

Trey Anastasio joined Dead & Company during the final night of the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary concerts, marking a spectacular collaboration between two iconic jam bands.

On Tuesday morning, Mayor Daniel Lurie signed legislation banning RVs from parking for more than two hours on city streets, impacting a gathering of Deadheads around the Panhandle.
