The Other Ones [ tickets ], the name that the remaining members of the Grateful Dead sometimes have toured under since the death of singer/guitarist Jerry Garcia, have been re-dubbed the Dead.

The group's debut show under its new moniker will be a Feb. 14 benefit performance at San Francisco's Warfield Theater for the Unbroken Chain Foundation, the Rex Foundation and the Furthur Foundation.

Grateful Dead survivors Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir last year performed together for the first time since Garcia's death, during a two-day festival at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wis. They followed that show with a brief November tour.

"After we played our first shows together at Alpine Valley last year, we were all profoundly affected by a sense of awe and connection that none of us had felt since we played with Jerry," the band said in a statement. "It was a magical occurrence that no one could have anticipated, yet one we all want to embrace. To us, this was the Grateful Dead--without Jerry. We had stopped being the 'Other Ones' and were on our way to becoming something new but at the same time very familiar.

"Grateful Dead conjures up many different emotions and feelings for all of us; it was a BAND, it continues to be a community, an approach to life, a electrical current, a dream, the list goes on. Whenever and wherever we played this past year, we all knew that we were experiencing Grateful Dead in its multiplicity of forms. We also know that this would not have been possible without all of you joining to support us. Therefore, with the greatest possible respect to our collective history, we have decided to keep the name 'Grateful Dead' retired in honor of Jerry's memory, and call ourselves: ' The Dead [ tickets ].'"

Rounding out the Dead's lineup are Jimmy Herring (Phil Lesh & Friends, Allman Brothers Band, Col. Bruce Hampton) on guitar, Jeff Chimenti (Ratdog) on keyboards and Rob Barraco (Phil Lesh & Friends) on keyboards and vocals.

The Grateful Dead performed their last show on July 9, 1995 in Chicago. Garcia died a month later in California after he suffered a heart attack at a substance-abuse treatment facility.
