At least three bands using the name "The Dead":

The Dead, also known as the Other Ones, are a North American rock band formed from the remains of the Grateful Dead. The tour of The Other Ones in 2002 began with two huge shows at celebrated Alpine Valley and continued with a late October return to Shoreline Amphitheatre and an ensuing full Autumn and Winter tour culminating in a New Years Eve show in Oakland where the band played Dark Star among other fan favorites.

The tour that included Bob, Bill, Phil and Mickey, was so successful and satisfying that the band decided the name was no longer appropriate. On February 14, 2003, (as they said) "reflecting the reality that [was]," they renamed themselves The Dead, reflecting the abbreviated form of the band name that fans had long used and keeping "Grateful" retired out of respect for Garcia. The members would continue to tour on and off through the end of their 2004 Summer Tour - the "Wave That Flag" tour, named after the original 1973 uptempo version of the song "U.S. Blues". The 2004 tour line-up included Jeff Chimenti on keyboards, Jimmy Herring on guitar, Warren Haynes on guitar and vocals and singer-songwriter Joan Osborne on vocals.

Breaking an almost five year drought, the band announced new tour dates for the spring of 2009. The tour band will include RatDog keyboard player Jeff Chimenti and Allman Brothers/Gov't Mule guitarist Warren Haynes in addition to Bob, Bill, Phil and Mickey.
