New England Deadheads who missed out on the Fair Thee Well shows now have a chance to see the Dead, minus Phil Lesh.

After the final Fair Thee Well show at Solder Field in Chicago, Bill Kreutzmann said he wished they could do a few more shows. Cue Dead and Company. The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Kreutzmann will be joined by guitarist John Mayer. Bassist Phil Lesh will not be apart of the project.

The ten-show tour kicks off October 29 in Albany, New York. Closest to us here in Maine will be their show November 10 at the DCU Center Worcester, Massachusetts. Tickets go on-sale to the public August 28.

Dead and Company will wrap up their tour in Los Angeles, December 31.
