Mr. Weir is right, the Grateful Dead was a better live band than a studio band. I saw The GD about 50 times, and I was NEVER bored at any of their shows. i always left feeling better than going in, and feeling lucky that I could actually see these guys live and in person.

Nice to finally see more interviews with Bob. There are soo many interviews with Jerry, but you’d be hard pressed to find any with Bob. It’s great that he’s still alive to tell his perspective on this piece of American music history.

I buried my husband in his favorite cat-in-the -hat tiedye. His mother was probably horrified, but there was no way I was going to send him off in a suit & tie. His best friend put in his coffin ticket stubs from his first Dead show at Chicago's Uptown Theatre in the late 70's. ...sigh...

Weir looks like an old prospector from 1840s California, with that beard. Which kind of fits with the Dead’s mining of musical Americana.

The Dead didn't play 45 minute songs; they played 5 minute songs followed by 40 minutes of endless, mind-numbing noodling.

Saw them twice. Dozed off once. Someone once described their songs as an half-hour of discordant tuning. That's somewhat unfair, but I get it.

@@Bass_Playa_Two_Point.O I guess if the band was all f*cked up on acid and their shows consisted of endless noodling, playing out-of-tune, and off-key singing - which, to me, is really the essence of the Dead - if their audience was also high and tripping, they wouldn't have even noticed. I think that was their "secret sauce", so to speak. I saw them once back in the early 70's, and was pretty bored. I heard a great crack from Dan Hicks (of the Hot Licks) who said during a live show, "Excuse me people, but we need to take a minute to tune up. We're not the Grateful Dead, you know; we can't play for nine hours without tuning up. We're not that good!" The audience was laughing their asses off!
