Live Dead is quite a unique project, because Tom Constanten the Grateful Dead keyboard star has managed to assemble a phenomenal international lineup that really does put fairy dust on the Dead songbook favourites and less obvious items. The core sound is attained by a truly magical guitar weave enhanced by a powerful rhythm section and the sort of exuberant keyboard playing that the late Nicky Hopkins would surely approve. The original band could be patchy at times. one must concede, but having seen them and this project ensemble I venture that nobody will be disappointed by these shows. Their last run at Under The Bridge was as skilful as it was entertaining – this group in this room is as good as it gets…..

All Star Line up performing the first two live albums by The Grateful Dead in full.

Tom Constanten was the pianist with The Grateful Dead and he returns to London’s Under the Bridge with an all star line up featuring members of Jefferson Starship, Bob Weir’s Ratdog and David Crosby’s Band after bringing the house down at their last Under the Bridge concert.

Along with performing the “Live Dead 69” album, this time the group take on the “Skull & Roses” album from 1971 in it’s entirety. This was the second live album released by The Grateful Dead and their first certified Gold album.

Tom Constanten originally started performing with Steve Reich & Terry Riley. His friendship with Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh led to him joining the band in 1968. Mark “Slick” Aguilar is best known as the guitarist with Jefferson Starship. He has also worked with the David Crosby Band, Buddy Miles and KC & the Sunshine Band. Mark Karan is the guitarist with Bob Weir & Ratdog. Mark has also toured with Dave Mason, Paul Carrack and was chosen to fill the slot of Jerry Garcia in 1998 with The Other Ones, a band featuring former members of The Grateful Dead.

Live Dead 69 features:

Tom Constanten – Original Grateful Dead Pianist

Slick Aguilar – Jefferson Starship Guitarist

Mark Karan – Bob Weir Ratdog/Other Ones Guitarist
