The Grateful Dead reunited last weekend for three final, sold-out shows at Chicago's Soldier Field.

After two warm-up shows in the Bay Area, the Dead — with Trey Anastasio filling in for the late Jerry Garcia — kicked off their Soldier Field stand with a tremendous set comprising classics ("Box of Rain," "Jack Straw," "Bertha") and curveballs ("Mason's Children," "New Potato Caboose").

Night two, however, found the Dead traversing their thinner Eighties and Nineties catalog and, per Rolling Stone's Will Hermes, the chemistry of night one was notably absent. Everything fell into place, though, for the Dead's final show, with highlights like "Truckin,'" "Estimated Prophet," "Built to Last" and closer "Attics of My Life" creating a sense of bittersweet culmination.

"As good as the music was, much of the night's magic was in the connections," Hermes wrote of the final show. "Meeting fellow fans, finding out where they travelled from, a bit of what their lives are like, how long ago they saw their first Dead show; or showering ushers and security staff with grins, salutations and high-fives, like a bunch of tipsy, T-shirted Jehovah's Witnesses working a neighborhood."

While the three gigs are now available, they will also be collected and released in a number of audio-visual formats, including a massive 12-CD, seven-DVD or Blu-ray box set, Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of the Grateful Dead on November 20th. On September 18th, the Grateful Dead will also release their largest set of shows ever: Thirty Trips Around the Sun, a 50th anniversary collection comprising 80 CDs with 30 complete, previously unissued live recordings, one from each year of the Dead's touring life.

Grateful Dead Original Members Reunite to Celebrate 50th Anniversary

“Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead" at Chicago’s Soldier Field on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2015

Marks the Grateful Dead Members' Final Performance Together

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Grateful Dead, the four original members — Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir — will reunite at Chicago's Soldier Field, nearly 20 years to the day of the last Grateful Dead concert, which took place at the same venue. “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead" will occur over three nights on July 3, 4, and 5, 2015, marking the original members' last-ever performance together. The band will be joined by Trey Anastasio (guitar), Jeff Chimenti (keyboards), and Bruce Hornsby (piano). The group will perform two sets of music each night.

Jerry Garcia's daughter Trixie Garcia announced the shows in an exclusive interview. You can check out her announcement here.

Joining the original members of Grateful Dead are three musicians who have embodied the band’s spirit of musical innovation throughout their eclectic careers. Guitarist Trey Anastasio is best known for his work as the principal songwriter and lead guitarist for touring juggernaut Phish, but he has also found time to score and arrange music for orchestras and Broadway productions such as “Best Musical” TONY nominee ‘Hands on a Hardbody.’ Pianist Bruce Hornsby had already won the first of his three Grammy Awards when he first guested with Grateful Dead in 1988. Following the death of the band’s keyboard player Brent Mydland in 1990, Hornsby toured with the group into 1992, and he has maintained a collaborative relationship with its members ever since. Bay Area native and jazz keyboardist Jeff Chimenti joined Bob Weir’s Rat Dog in 1997, and has since worked on projects such as Phil Lesh & Friends, The Other Ones, The Dead, and Furthur.
