The fall RatDog tour which was scheduled to open tomorrow night in Ridgefield, Connecticut has been cancelled. In an official statement that group has attributed this course of events to Bob Weir’s health. The group announced that Weir ‘has worked continuously on music dates for RatDog and The Dead, promotional work for his career retrospective album, and a number of nonprofit appearances. It was all simply too much, and hes reached a point of complete physical exhaustion. He anticipates returning to performing in early spring 2005.’
