• Source: Reunions of the Grateful Dead

The Grateful Dead were an American rock band known for their lengthy, partially improvised performances, as well as for a loyal fan base who often followed the band for several shows or entire tours. They disbanded in 1995, following the death of de facto bandleader Jerry Garcia. Since then remaining members have reunited for a number of concert tours and one-off performances, often in very different configurations. The following is a list of instances where former Grateful Dead members have reunited.
Other than Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead's main performing members were Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. Garcia, Weir, Lesh and Kreutzmann were in the band from its inception in 1965 until its demise in 1995, while Hart had a tenure of 25 non-consecutive years. The other then-current or former members of the Grateful Dead who were living at the time that the band broke up were Tom Constanten, Donna Jean Godchaux, and Vince Welnick. Additionally, Bruce Hornsby was in the lineup for many Dead concerts and was considered an unofficial member of the band. Already deceased in 1995 were Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Keith Godchaux, and Brent Mydland.

In 1998 guitarist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh, drummer Mickey Hart and touring keyboardist Bruce Hornsby formed a band called the Other Ones. They toured America with guitarists Steve Kimock and Mark Karan, saxophonist Dave Ellis, and drummer John Molo. A live album from this tour, The Strange Remain, was released in 1999. This series of concerts was part of the third annual Furthur Festival tour, which also featured Hot Tuna and Rusted Root.
In 2000 the Other Ones launched another tour featuring former Grateful Dead members Weir, Hart, Hornsby and drummer Bill Kreutzmann. Lesh declined to participate and was replaced by Alphonso Johnson. Steve Kimock and Mark Karan continued their roles as co-lead guitarists.
In 2002 an Other Ones line-up of Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart toured the United States with guitarist Jimmy Herring, keyboardists Jeff Chimenti and Rob Barraco, and vocalist Susan Tedeschi.
