Waynard Scheller and Rainbow Full of Sound play Grateful Dead songs, and they’ve been doing so for a while – 300 shows’ worth.  But their upcoming tour will come with a very special twist:  they are going to recreate the Dead’s legendary 1972 tour of Europe, tracing the path of twenty-one shows from England to Denmark to Germany to France to the Netherlands and back to England.
