With tickets for the final Grateful Dead shows selling out in minutes, the surviving members of the rock legends on Thursday announced an additional concert joined by fellow stars. The concert entitled & quot;Dear Jerry & quot; -- a tribute to Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia, who died in 1995 -- will take place on May 14 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion, an outdoor music venue in Maryland between Baltimore and Washington. The Grateful Dead, who emerged from the 1960s California hippy scene to create the & quot;Deadhead & quot; subculture of free-spirited fans who followed them, earlier announced three final concerts together on the July 4 weekend in Chicago. Unlike the Chicago series, & quot;Dear Jerry & quot; is not billed as a Grateful Dead show but all four surviving members -- Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir -- are scheduled to perform either alone or with side projects.
