The two were scheduled to play four shows together in New Jersey, California and Michigan, but following Billy’s brain disorder diagnosis, those concerts were scrapped.

Joe Walsh‘s VetsAid charity concert is returning this year for its ninth edition, and it’ll be held in a place near and dear to the guitarist’s heart: his hometown of Wichita, Kansas.
VetsAid 2025 will take place Nov. 15 at the INTRUST Bank Arena. The lineup includes country star and Eagles touring member Vince Gill; Ryan Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen; and a “super-set” from Walsh, joined by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Nathaniel Rateliff and more.
Tickets go on sale Aug. 8 at 10 a.m. CT via selectaseat.com; the all-in price is $50.
Walsh said in a statement, “It’s been a long-term goal of mine since we began VetsAid nearly ten years ago to bring it all home to my native Wichita to serve Kansan veterans and their families. It’s where my parents were both born and are buried, where I was born and where I will always feel a deep connection and sense of heritage and responsibility.” Walsh is a Gold Star son whose father died while stationed on active duty on Okinawa.
The proceeds from the concert will go to veterans services charities based in Kansas or with operations on the ground in Kansas; grant applications are open now via vetsaid.org/grants.
The first VetsAid took place in 2017 in Fairfax, Virginia. Over the years, VetsAid has disbursed more than $4 million in grants.

If you piled it all up, the amount of marijuana smoked at Grateful Dead and Dead & Company concerts over the years would probably reach from here to the moon. But Deadheads will be indulging legally for the upcoming anniversary shows.
Three Dead & Company shows are taking place at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park from Aug. 1 to Aug. 3 in celebration of 60 years of the Grateful Dead’s music. And Pollstar reports that for the first time ever at a Dead & Company show, cannabis will be sold legally. That’s due to Grass Lands, an on-site marijuana consumption area that was first introduced at the Outside Lands festival in 2018. Grass Lands will be present at the shows, offering products from a variety of growers, many of them local.
But weed won’t be the only organic material on offer during the shows. The Jerry Garcia Foundation will set up a tent in Participation Row, a charity tent village at the concerts, to distribute free organic and non-GMA sunflower seed packets to concertgoers to “promote pollinator preservation.”
In a statement, Garcia’s wife, Manasha Garcia, said, “Jerry advocated for the preservation of the environment. We hope sharing organic seeds inspires others to plant gardens that are beneficial to butterfly and bee populations.”
