Furthur has officially called it quits
Bob Weir and Phil Lesh have disbanded Further after the bands 5 year run. The news was broken on their website further.net today. The website now only reads “To our loyal Furthur fans and members of the Furthur community at furthur.net, we’d like to thank you for a terrific ride. We’ll be closing up shop at furthur.net, and heading onward. Thanks for making the Furthur community a great place to hang out, and for coming out to the shows. We’ll all be keeping very busy over the foreseeable future, and it’s time to let Furthur take a bow. We enjoyed the ride more than we can possibly express. You can keep tabs on Phil’s activities at www.terrapincrossroads.net, Bob’s activities at www.bobweir.net and all Grateful Dead news at www.dead.net”
Although Furthur will no longer be touring, we don’t see Weir or Lesh going anywhere soon. We’re looking forward to see what new projects are ahead for the pair, especially with The Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary coming up next year.
