RIP Bob Weir

The empire state building being lit tie die colors in Storrs South last night was a nice tribute.

Fare thee well. I'd like to think he's jammin with Jerry, Phil & Pigpen.

He may be going to hell in a bucket babe, but at least he's enjoying the ride.

Sorry to hear it. End of an era.

I had my lucky dancing bears socks on for the Chicago Bears game when my buddy texted me the sad news. July 19,1989 Alpine Valley best Terrapin Station I ever heard. The psychedelics were good too.

Stopped at Twelve Percent Beer Project in North Haven. Now sipping Brix City's "Shakedown Jams!"

Last saw him with "Dead & Company" at the Sphere in Vegas June 2024. My wife took this picture at the show. Kinda looks like Bobby in heaven. You can see Bobby and the band at the bottom of the pix and, of course, on the roof of the Sphere.

I heard that The Sphere is losing tons of dough. This won't help.

The place is spectacular. Off the hook. Go while you can. Just visiting it for a tour is worth it. For a concert, the visuals and sound are 10 out of 10. It was a great place to say good bye to Bobby.

That was a life well lived. RIP Bob.

It was. When I think about how I figured he'd live another ten years, easy, I forgot about some of the crazy ish he got up to in his younger days!

Maybe not for this year, but the name of the show there was "Dead Forever" I wouldn't bet against them playing there in the future with John, Jeff, Oteill, Jay Lane, and... TBD

Last show I saw in Vegas

 

[alexd]

Today... picked up Peruvian and Brazilian food at Parkville Market then walked over and spent the afternoon at Dead Language Beer Project. All live Dead music jamming. We were there probably 15 minutes before my wife said, "is this still the same song that was playing when we came in?" 😉
It was. (China cat sunflower > i know you rider).

In 2007, living in Ft Greene Brooklyn with roommates, we had a backyard BBQ for my birthday, end of August. My attractive Brazilian roommate said "I have a friend coming over you might appreciate". It was John Perry Barlow. Just cruised up on his motorcycle and hung out for 4 hours. He told so many stories. The Dalai Lama, aliens, oh yeah, Bobby's in town too he may come over. "Anyone have a guitar". Bobby didnt make it over, who knows. It was insane. Ill be listening to the Dead all week.

I had a chance to hang out with him (JPB) at a party in Fairfield in 2005, Bobby's partner in crime. Great humble guy, brilliant, very involved with internet freedom. I knew enough not to ask him about music, so I asked about his golf game, he laughed. I pulled out a nice fatty, we partook. Then he asked if I had any blow, I didn't/don't, but a true rock star move!

There's also a long standing rumor that when you see a picture of JP Barlow with his daughters, one looks suspiciously like Weir. Google the image and judge for yourself.
