In my humble opinion, the greatest musician of all time I've had the privilege to enjoy over the past 40 + years
Bob Weir is a hero. He's like an everyman that realized the band he was playing in and made the absolute most of it.
Love Bobby. He plays like he talks.
***** LOL
That’s so well put. Wow.
slow and incoherent ?
No, he plays (well, played) a helluva lot better than that.
@@xianshep i was just kidding..Bobby`s great
Bob's insanely unique rhythm guitar was pivotal for the Dead.
Nobody (in the history of mankind) has played live music onstage in front of more people (combined) than Bob Weir. Legend.
BB King may have something to say about that.
@@beagler4234 not even close
@@jdavis8444 you’re right. King performed over 15,000 concerts while not riding Jerry’s coattails.
@@jdavis8444 BB only preformed abit over 11.000 more concerts than weir
Bob is still
Playing tnough so he’s probably surpassed that
Once again, a reporter begins with a questions about the 60's and The Grateful Dead being a 60's band. I have seen Weir be interviewed about this very thing and go off about how they are not even a 60's band.. that all their big work was done in the 70's.
I have to agree with Weir on this one.. The Dead are really a 70's band that came out of the counter culture of the 60's San Fran scene.. they were lucky to be in the right place at the right time in that regard.
We were blessed to have them as a band who catered to their audience first which really made the scene what it inevitably became. The Dead are a one of a kind.. a little by chance. But that is also the magic by which they wrote and played their music.
For this interview.. it seems the Bob is a bit out of sorts.. and it does seem like these were the party coke days that broke the band in the 80's. If the guys could have kept it clean and straight the sky was the limit as to their creative talents as a whole. They proved it after Jerry's coma and they cleaned up in '87. Kreutzmann wrote directly about this in his new book which I hope to read soon.
Cheers!
Yes but you cant deny how influencial they were on the counter culture. Acid tests, Monterey, woodstock. The biggest albums were 1970 but they really found their footing after pig pen IMO as much as i hate to say that. The tours they did from 72-78 was probably what made them such a massive force. The grateful dead seem like an enigma to me though you can never put a finger on it because alot of people would say they love the late 80s and though I love Brent the sound wasnt as much my style.
Hood , want to see what he says zbout Jerry
Is he is still living?
Schools for art
Jerry liked art
Everyone in the Greatful Dead was an intellectual. They were no dummy druggies. They knew what they were doing.
Bob and the band were about the music. The music came first and thats why they did it. They considered everyday they could play music a miracle. Love the Dead! I am very Grateful for them!
I have done the Dew with all of the dead and each in turn are kind intelligent well brilliant people Bobby is as kind as anybody you will ever meet He is truly just the Finest Kind he looked as young or younger when we met around 1971 I have to believe they were a 60's band and as Bob said they got Better an The gear got better and he proved correct, all the boys are still Just taking the music and making it all better! I am so grateful we have them still going on the road making
Bobby , always young,Great guy
Not so much anymore!
My God, but he was beautiful. Still is!
Love the dead,love Jefferson Airplane, embryonic journey is something I'd love to learn to play 1 day,how the hell do you sit down and come up with something so melodic and harmonic, favourite acoustic track by them
It always seems and such is in this case, Bobby always seems to dispel every presumption the interviewer has about the band. I don't know if he gets a kick out of it, or he is just being as honest as he can be. I honestly believe it's something in between. Like, he can see where the interviewer is going with the questions and wants to dispel all the assumption before it gets started.
For those musically minded folks .... 4/29/84 the band was playing Nassau Colosseum in Long Island.
I think iwasthere
Oh my Lord 4/24/84!!!
Nice interview!!! Greetings from Amsterdam!!! (a dead head)
2:04 Bob admits to copping licks. 2:08 looks anxious that he shouldn’t have said that 2:16 Bob manifests resonance from 9th dimension and enters a universe without consequences
Always loved the dead. One of the greatest rock bands since the Beatles
"lots of jamming going on all the time"
Bobby weir my favourite guitar player,dont ask why you know why
By the time of this interview he was in the band nearly 20 yrs, yet looks like a kid, and not even 40.
He joined when he was like 16! Crazy to think I just saw him with the same old guys and he’s in his 70s!
his eyes are fukn saucers!!!HAHAHHAHAA!!!! love you bobby!!!
You should read the comment I commented on above
His eyes always looked weird even when he isnt high. They are a bit crossed
A beautiful man inside and out.
There is a naive innocence about him in this segment. He reminds me of Dirk Diggler in 'Boogie Niights."
There's ALWAYS a naive innocence about him, apart from when he plays.
Some people tell you the walkin blues ain't so bad, it's the worst ole feeling I most ever had. You're rhythms are original and well felt out. Peace mr. Weir you are Jerry's best musical friend. I can tell your future just look at all the great years when Jerry jammed on earth.
I bet that bobby nailed the female reporter
I thought the same thing. lol.....You know he did. Had her lookin like a porn star 10 mins afterwards.
Michelle Waldrop thought the same damn thing 🤣
He wasnt a pig. You guys might have tried
born cross eyed
shit! i never noticed until you said it!!
Weir is dyslexic.
LMAO he is dyslexic but also suffers from something that causes his eyes to kind of bug out. Which makes him look like a space case. I read about it in the book long strange trip I believe. Can't remember what it's called. But Bobby is a lot more there than most people give him credit for
For years I said "whats w weirs eyes?" nobody ever answered back. They're crossed
@4:58 for epic loogie
"I'm still walking, so I'm sure that I can dance."
Poor Bobby,,,hes thinking,,,"Can I fart now guys?"
Tell me whens its over ,,,
this is way too early for me,,,,
Is this an interview or a fuckin interegation,,,,?
Where my guitar? Who are all these people in my dressing room,,,???
This sounds like an interrogation. Not fun at all lol
agreed.. i don't know who the interviewers were, but they certainly didn't create a loose environment.. unless Bob was too high
OK!
Jesus it’s like an interrogation
Thought it was interesting he mentioned the Tubes Vince Welnick’s first band
I’m straight but I gotta admit Bobby was a handsome fella back then.
In 2020 he’s making sense 👍
If it wasn't for Bob, Jerry would never have been a rock star.
The Tubes!
My boi bobby tripping sac here
Slick friends
You can tell he was totally uncomfortable or didn’t want to do it in the first place
Yeah a few times I see him thinking shit I shouldn't have dosed before this interview
Damn, how many interviews did Bobby do on 4/29/1984? 😉🤪
Sounds like the interviewer for MTV. Who Frank Zappa tore up.
YEAH! i think it is her
Where’s Jerry?
FFS Lady, his name is Bobby not San Francisco.
Handsome guy!
Hahaha he was into wolves back then too!
Mans dosed
Coke
This is a bizarre interview. It sounds a little bit like court proceedings.
I watched most of this interview - there are like 5 parts, including Bobby jogging past the camera and when he is out of sight the interviewer and producer or crew (who ever they are) yell "hey Bobby. Come back!"
It is one of the worst interviews and obviously not edited, or not for release. So in fairness, what you have here is raw footage of multiple takes.
Having said that the interviewer is a vapid chick and her producer or senior colleague is marginally better. It must be a college project or an amateur project. So, in that sense it is just exactly perfect.
Having said that, if you are interviewing someone you could read a bit about the subject, the environment etc. so you can ask more interesting questions besides "tell us about San Francisco as an influence". "Tell us about how 60 politics influenced your music and others." Obviously in 1984 they had no internet so she might have needed to open a book or read some magazines or open her eyes. Not asking a lot really.
Of all the interviews done of GD - Garcia or Bobby or them together or the band, etc. there are so few good ones. The ones that are passable and interesting (somewhat) are with Garcia who is loquacious and if in the mood can take a question, qualify it, and talk intelligently about it and wherever else his mind takes him, making for an interesting interview. I cant think of any where the interviewer has enough intelligence or subject knowledge to stay up with Garcia or to ask interesting questions in the first place.
Why?
How does that old quote go?
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture."
Oh but he is adorable and patient through it all...and is too polite to show he is thinking please, make it stop! Obviously clueless interviewer who read up on music the night before. I would have loved to interview him, though, I think it would have been fun, a lot more fun than he was having. lol
+Jack Kelly In all these interviews not just this one why don't they ask about what the man really does as in 1.Play rhythm guitar like no other.2. Co Write all those songs that aren't Hunter-Garcia songs.Sing both lead and harmony vocals.And anything else that defines the man by his work.I doubt that they realize what he does with the exception of Dan Rather God bless him.
+Danny Dine Yes. I have seen a few writers analyze Garcias style(s) and even heard or read some material where JG talks about his approaches to solos. It was fascinating. Wish I could remember where the hell I saw it. And what about Bobby's style. Honestly, I have been a fan since '77 but only in recent years paid any careful attention to his style. (I don't listen to anything after about '83, and mostly 70 - 82,) It always seemed like his sound was mixed way down and difficult to find. And Garcia is so up front and engaging that the rest of the band can be difficult to isolate to my ear. Some say Bob style was very unique. I can agree that songs like Let it Grow show some really strange chord progressions.
+NACIJUK Hi-Possibly where you read the interviews of Jerry was Guitar Player,Musician or other magazines like that and to be fair they would have interviewed Bob at different times and asked him the same type of questions.Mainstream interviews tend not to ask musicianship questions because they probably don't feel there viewers or readers would be interested and i don't believe they know the subject.Dicks Picks is a pretty good place to listen to the mix of the band however compared to Jerry, Bob and Phil's style is probably more stealth like so to speak.Bob's style is extremely unique.Like a lot of guitarist's i can do a HALF ASSED copy of Jerry but i don't know how to approach Bob's playing.I do know that if i understood jazz guitar more than i would have a leg up on approaching what Bob does because Bob plays with a lot of chord inversions and chord substitutions.I've often said i wish there was a good tutorial on how Bob plays, not to copy him but to learn more about the art of rhythm guitar playing.I've seen a little bit of Dan Rather interviewing Bob and also Greg Allman.Now there's a nice man who asks intelligent questions.Take care.
He freaks me out a little, likes he's tripping all the time. Garcia is just fun to listen to whether he's tripping or not.
Weir said he has done over 750 lsd trips. That's alot!
@@lastnamefirst4035 I never thought of him as tripping but this interview is kind of strange. He doesn’t look well, he’s not very comfortable and he’s coughing. He whips his head to the right really quickly for some reason; like he saw something fly by…but I think he’s a person like me who doesn’t always feel comfortable by strangers but always give of myself anyway and then they try to drag things out of me for their amusement.
@@lisae6725 I think your description and understanding of him is quite the same as mine. Im kind of envious about how many more trips he has had than me
@@lisae6725lsd is a stimulant and if his claims to 750 trips are True I wouldn't be surprised if he has some long lasting side affects. That would explain the buggy uncomfortable look I used to do a lot of acid and when I stopped I would some times tremble or get Shakey and even to this day sometimes I will be sitting around and I'll get slight visuals and a psychedelic headspace a little fun reminder of my past
bbby nic haair
Serious question - is Bobby maybe on the spectrum? Everyone is always like “oh he’s tripping!” - but I can tell you he’s most likely not tripping in this interview. I mean. He could be lol.
He is some kind of dyslexic. It’s a sort of “spectrum”. He is always more or less like this. A true cosmic wanderer across our world. He and his friends sure have my life better through their art. It’s such a pleasure to see him play live. Now a days, I love watching the other musicians interpret or try to anticipate his playing.
@@mylitng2 for sure. He seems to have gotten more cognizant as he gets older. More confident and smoother speech. Someone in the comments said he talks like he plays which I think is brilliant.
@@berryseinfeld6772 How long have you been listening🎸🎶🎶
@@bobweir5833 since middle school! about a quarter of a century!
@@berryseinfeld6772 That's amazing thank you for your utmost love and support have you been added to any of my special fans list
How amateur are the interviewers? Talk about not doing your homework and being prepared to ask smart interesting questions!
Local kids
Bob,weird.
I think Weir is actually Tom Bradys Dad, theyve got the same chin.
Stop talking about him... jeeze, it's just a stupid game.
@@Wayzor_only the best game there is
Pretty sure bob is stoned here
The Music Junkie Or trippin
The lady interviewer sounds like a proctologist who has no feeling for the person being probed.
Bob is probably waiting for his groupie to show up
I think you wanna be.
Ha had only 1?
I think hes coked up.
Definitely up.
Trippin for sure.You can see him kinda zoning out when she talks.
You really think so?!?!
huh .? " There's always illegal activity around schools, and music."
*political
Too bad the interviewer was so cookie cutter corporate.
Wow, this lady couldn't be more obnoxious
I really like the first four or five Dead records but i think they should have hung it up in 1971 or 1972. they just became a coked out mess after that.
Dave Furgess - nah...73-77 were some of their best years, coke nothwithstanding
+Dave Furgess That is a strange comment since their best years were without question '73, '74 and '77. They are not for everyone that is for sure but to say that they should have hung it up in '71 or '72 is just incorrect as they had yet to hit their peak as a group.
Dave Furgess no one should ever hang it up even if society don't like them the music is stronger then their judgment, they gonna play till they die
The music never stopped for good reason
"lots of jamming going on all the time"
