From Furthur.net:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Furthur regretfully will be unable to appear as scheduled at BottleRock Napa Valley on Thursday, May 9. Grateful Dead & Furthur Co-Founder Bob Weir, is unable to perform for the next several weeks.
Furthur featuring Phil Lesh & Bob Weir look forward to returning to the road as scheduled on July 11 in Brooklyn for their Summer tour, which carries them through early October on the West Coast
11 Days from now, in Napa California, Furthur will hit the stage at 7pm – headlining the first day at the first ever Bottle Rock Napa Valley!
It’s not a question of going – I mean, you have already purchased your ticket, right?
The hardest thing is what bands to NOT see, there is a whole lot of fun packed into just the first day.
It would be easy to stay at the WILLPOWER STAGE, and see 4 of our favorites in a row: Moonalice > ALO > The Black Crowes > Furthur… but I know I am going to venture over to the CITI STAGE at 2:45 to see one of my favorite bands ever, X. Having grown up in L.A. in the 70’s and 80’s, how could I not catch up with John, DJ, Billy and Exene? I can’t wait to see how they are!
