Following Bob Weir’s passing on Saturday, Jan. 10, SiriusXM has announced a slate of programming celebrating the life of the legendary guitarist, singer, songwriter and Grateful Dead co-founder. Tribute airings are planned for the Grateful Dead Channel, Phish Radio, and Jam On, running from today, Jan. 15, through Jan. 18, with further broadcasts to be announced in the coming days.

The Bob Weir memorial programming on the Grateful Dead Channel (Channel 23) includes a number of unforgettable live performances from over the years, including Dead & Company’s final performance at the Grateful Dead 60th anniversary concerts at Golden Gate Park; Dead & Company’s last Sunday show from August 8th of last year was originally broadcast as a SiriusXM exclusive, and its airings every day this week will be its first since the event.

Other landmark shows in the lineup include Weir’s 69th birthday celebration with The Campfire Band at Port Chester, N.Y.’s Capitol Theatre, his 2024 Wolf Bros set with Derek Trucks, Rick Mitarotonda and Sturgill Simpson at 2024’s Dead Ahead destination festival and Weir and Phil Lesh’s 2018 Radio City Music Hall performance – complete with a sit-in from Phish frontman Trey Anastasio – among many more. Phish Radio (Channel 29) will broadcast the jam torchbearers’ 2016 collaboration with Weir onstage at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, while the shows for Jam On (Channel 309) are still to be announced.
