Is he the last of them?  Not sure if Mickey Hart counts 

Both of the drummers (Mickey & Bill) are are still alive. Bill is the only original member that played on all the albums/tours that is still alive.

Aside from a brief hiatus for a couple years in the early 70's, he was with the band from 1967 right up until the last show.

He definitely counts.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to be reading about Bob Weir's passing today.  That really sucks.

 

God bless you and thank you, Bobby.

R.I.P.

 

I wonder how many people he's sung in front of all these years.

Terry Sullivan, the drummer for Renaissance, also passed away today... bad day for the rock/prog world.

It took a bit because the god-like worship turned me off, but I came around to absolutely loving Garcia's work... whether with the band, solo work, or other collaborations.  But Weir was always my man with The Dead. Cassidy, Black-Throated Wind... and just all the environment his presence on this planet has encompassed- I was just always attracted to what he brought. 

 

I literally couldn't even look at the news when I saw the headlines yesterday. I just felt heartsick   I hate seeing the better parts of our existence leave us while we are left to deal with the power-hungry corroded-tooth-enamel of humanity.
