Former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will take part in a Boulder panel discussion in the South Stadium Club at the University of Colorado’s Folsom Field next month.

The event, planned for 4-6 p.m. Saturday, June 10, is part of a Colorado Music Hall of Fame VIP reception. Deadheads and members of the public may attend for a ticket price of $420, which includes a ticket to a Dead & Company show that evening. A portion of the proceeds directly benefit the Hall of Fame, according to organization spokesman Phil Lobel.

“Colorado Getaway: The History of the Grateful Dead in the High Country” will feature the musicians discussing the Dead’s history in Boulder and Colorado — including a Human Be-In at Denver’s City Park in 1967, a rumored Reed Ranch barn gig near Colorado Springs, storied shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a famous 1987 Telluride show and the band’s appearances in Boulder, which has traditionally held a hotbed of Deadhead activity, according to a press release.

The musicians will be in Boulder to perform with offshoot band Dead & Company Friday, June 9, and Saturday, June 10. The pair of shows on Fourth of July weekend last year in Boulder marked the return of live music to Folsom Field for the first time since 2001.

The Colorado Music Hall of Fame’s “Colorado Getaway” will feature a musical performance and commentary by David Gans (of SiriusXM’s “The Grateful Dead Hour”) and interviews with Colorado promoter Don Strasburg, archivist Paul Epstein (of Twist and Shout) and David Glasser, who is re-mastering the Dead’s entire catalog, according to the release.

There will be a silent auction with historic artifacts and photographs, along with items like “The Guys,” a limited-edition etching of the Grateful Dead by Jerry Garcia.

The Hall of Fame will also unveil a timeline exhibit that will be housed at Red Rocks’ Trading Post, the Colorado Music Hall of Fame’s home. Boulder’s Pasta Jay’s will create a custom “Dead-inspired” menu, according to the release.

Besides the former Grateful Dead members, Dead & Company features John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti. Phil Lesh, the Dead’s fourth surviving member, has his own offshoot band, Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band, which will be playing three sold-out Fox Theatre shows later in June.
