- Bob Weir on CBS News NIGHTWATCH interviewed by Christopher Glenn about
Bobby And The Midnites. The program was probably recorded in November, 1984,
during the "Where The Beat Meets The Street" album tour.
Another massively anticlimactic production by Lone Star Dead Radio , Dallas TX KNON 89.3 FM on yer dial
I liked the interview alot. A moment in history, Bobby is spacy but this is still more intelligent and human than anything you would see on modern TV.
Spun and with all the fixings. Bobby is such a soft spoken whimsical man in 84. Like a little therapy sesh and Bobby honestly explaining life in his eyes and in his personal way that I love. Very Heady year imo. Def Dark and light and pretty cool and also sorta deep in the questioning of the others and esp the passed members.
Topical interview. This is professional rock and roll Bobby!!
Thanks for posting this Eric. Bobby was is and will forever be a rock star. Really enjoyed this.
I will say Mr. Christopher Glenn was a serious, very interested, fantastic interviewer!!! I love the Grateful Dead. Thanx so much, lonestardead...
Interesting toward the end of the interview when Bob talked about how Donna’s vocal styles swooped differently from the way his and Jerry’s swooped causing her to sound flat often.
ground control to major bob
I don't find the boring at all. It's always fun watching Bobby try and get words out when he's spun out. :-)
Ha, he seems like he is tuned up here. 'Instrumentated'
Briandrum true
Massively anticlimactic - thanks for sharing !
Lindsay, I am sorry you had to attend dozens of boring Grateful Dead concerts. And I am sorry your father had such a low opinion of his interview with Bob Weir. Fortunately he managed to come across as positive in this interview and even though he seemed to struggle at times with his answers, Bob kept it interesting. It was not a boring interview to me. But I have been a fan of the band since their first album came out in 1967.
Christopher Glenn was epic, he also did a show called "IN THE NEWS"
I like how they show pretty much all Jerry on the Truckin clip, when he just mentions how Bob sings lead.
I like how Bob's image is flickering in - and- out...kinda like the small princess Leia in star wars....now that would be wild if he could do that trick today in a show!
i love bobbu
Mr. Glenn did a fine job. Bob is a musician, not an actor, or dancer, unlike many of the performers today. Mr. Glenn is keeping Bob at ease, and Bob seems really nervous (can't blame him), but Bob opens up more as the interview goes on, thanks to Mr. Glenn.The Dead's interview is recorded in 'Ripple'. How does any one explain why they like this band so much? Not so easy! How can Bob explain how he does it? Mr. Glenn did well.
Again I will say that my comment "another anticlimactic production from Lone Star Dead Radio" was just a kitschy tag line that had absolutely nothing to do with the content of this upload and is in fact repeated on one or two of my other uploads, as far as the negative comments directed to the interviewer, the Internet is the wild west and it takes all types to have a planet, I was actually pretty excited and pleased to hear from Lindsey. Regardless of her views on anything to do with my favorite band. I hope at least I have made myself clear... I can only hope anyway
I love his frankness. "He drank himself to death." Simple, sad and true.
Actually, Pig had Crohn's Disease which at that time very few Dr's knew how to treat. He probably was self medicating from the chronic pains with the booze which didn't help matters yet, he died from Crohn's.
Weird, Bob's answers are strange in this one. Like when he smiles after "And he drank himself to death" , or when he states that the reason Keith left was because "He died" (Keith and Donna both left the GD a year before the car accident).
Do you have any other tapes of this interview show?
Mr. T Makes A Cameo in The Beginning !!! Good Times...
What's with all the negativity here? I just see a guy asking questions and another guy answering . Bob is not known as a great talker, he's a guitar player, nobody ever went to see the dead to listen to bob talk
Christopher Glenn was my hero in the news business when I was a child. I would listen to him read the phone directory. Thanks for posting this!
I think Bobby is a little "gripped". Not quite as bad as his Letterman appearance.
calm down Lindsay. I'm sure this is not the first time someone has criticized your father and what do you really prove your solve? That you over react to people on the internet that don't really matter? I'm sure you have better things to do than this.
Bobby was probably enjoying having Paul McCartney at the Dead's Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. lol, Paul showed up yet, Jerry sent a cardboard cut out of himself and skipped it.
Can't believe Bobby saying Keith left the band cause he died: that is not true. He was killed as a passenger in a car crash a good year after leaving the Dead.
tiedyekeith What? He died. Doesn't killed mean dead?
tiedyekeith Yeah, that's strange he said that. Maybe he was avoiding telling the truth of what really happened and having to rehash the sad story of Keith's heroin addiction and serious decline in his musicianship and also the negative energy that he and Donna were bringing at the end of his tenure
ture he left the band and then died..but Keith was the driver of the VWbug.that whent over the cliff of Highway 1..he had a Stoke (Brain Hemrage)he was dead be for going off the road ...i hope that little info Helped...Peace Pot Microedots.
MrDeadHead69 - Keith was NOT the driver he was a passenger. Where do people come up with this rubbish and pass if off as truth, I wonder? And, why? It's tragic enough Keith perished right when he and Donna had just formed a new band which lots of promise but, why add to that trauma with inaccurate lies of how Keith died?
A simple google search would lead someone to know all the details to prove statements like yours are utter rubbish. It's the information age, right at your fingertips: USE IT!
GD show was Boring? I think you forgot to dose
hahahaha "normally instrumentated"
If you want to fight about this, you'd best bring a firehose and a ladder. I inherited his intense personality and will stand by him for all times.
I have them all at home. Chris died in '06...so I hold all of them near to my heart. He's all over youtube...do a little search.
....and yes, I also found the DOZENS of Dead shows which I went to in my life to be painfully boring, also. BUT....At least I was open-minded enough about it to give them a try.
Like I said, that's my father, Christopher Glenn, interviewing Bob. He was a wonderful journalist who won many high-ranking awards throughout his lifetime...including being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. I'd like to tell you a little secret...Bob Weir was a last minute head to fill the set, as the original interview for that night had been postponed. Upon arriving home the day after this was filmed, even he admitted that it was one of the worst, most boring interviews he ever did.
I'm well aware of that about the Dead. I was THERE while my FATHER, Christopher Glenn, was filming this. I personally found it painfully boring.
Listen to his piece on the Shuttle Challenger disaster. Maybe al of you haters will change your mind. Improvisation live and on-air is extremely hard to do. He won the Peabody award for this. The clip is only about 5 minutes long, but he was actually on-air, live and improvising, for about 45 minutes.
You are a sad and pathetic troll who is jealous that Bob Weir is more popular than your daddy. Get over it and grow up. Bob Weir snoring is more interesting than anything you have ever done!
Thank you. I don't understand why people constantly have to come in here just to bad-mouth performers and/or journalists. If you don't like it, don't look or listen. I appreciate your comment. That's what Chris was best at.
...and now that I've seen many of the ultra-stupid comments by certain people in here, there are several comments from me. I stood by my father in all that he did.
It's BOB who's BORING. Grateful Dead= BORING, BORING, BORING.
Did you ever get the help you needed?
Rage full and Not showing up with the class of the father. So even still I dig the interview greatly and appreciate the depth and the calmness of pacing and keeping good listening skills and seemingly in sincerity in his questions and following answers to the stories of another’s world reality. The following and bob being inside the dead is a long strange trip to understand and appreciate. Bobby is spaced and leftover but is not being short in the answers and is forthcoming with and rather game and very much open for the morning rap gig and is keeping up with professionalism as always and real.
I hope you find peace and gratefulness and blessings in all. Lv is better than the bottom feeding
