about
Missing Man Formation was a band put together by former Grateful Dead keyboardist Vince Welnick, featuring Welnick and an ever-changing group of musicians, including Steve Kimock on guitar (eventually replaced by John Wedemeyer, Terry Haggerty and Mark Holesinger), Prairie Prince on drums (eventually replaced by Trey Savatelli), Bobby Vega on bass (eventually replaced by Robin Sylvester) and others, most notably, Bobby Strickland (reeds and flute). The band performed primarily between 1996 and 2000, mostly in the San Francisco Bay area, often at the Fillmore Auditorium, and generally for two-sets lasting two hours or more, or at music festivals, where they played shorter sets. Guest performers included artists such as Todd and Michelle Rundgren, Scott Black, Annie Simpson and Diana Mangano. Their first and only album, Missing Man Formation, was released in 1998. It includes a version of "Samba in the Rain", written for the Dead by Welnick and Robert Hunter, another Welnick/Hunter song "Golden Stairs", and "Devil I Know", by Welnick with John Perry Barlow and Bob Bralove.
