The Living Continuation of Bob Weir’s Thousand-Year Grateful Dead Vision

The Living Continuation of Bob Weir’s Thousand-Year Grateful Dead Vision

We are building the Thousand Year Jam band — a musical lineage that never stops playing, evolves forever, and carries the spirit of the Grateful Dead forward for centuries to come.

This site is dedicated to finding and ranking the world’s best musicians for the six core positions of the band:

  • Lead Guitar

  • Rhythm Guitar

  • Bass

  • Drummer #1

  • Drummer #2

  • Keyboards

The rankings are updated continuously as new talent is discovered and evaluated.

Creating this band is the first step in fulfilling Bob Weir’s dream of a thousand-year musical continuum.

Your support makes the search and growth possible.
