Farewell to a legend. We will miss you Bobby. So grateful for your music and the memories.

Faring thee well now
Let your life proceed by its own design
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.

Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.

A true music legend. RIP.

Halfstep, Mississippi uptown too-de-loo
Hello, baby, I'm gone, good-bye
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.
Farewell to you old Southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way

RIP to a great musician, one who lived life free and to the fullest, always played in the band, and was a positive influence on millions of fans.

While likely impossible to ever say for sure, it is widely accepted that Bob Weir has played more live concerts than just about anyone in history. 

15 years old until 79 years old. 

Trey Anastasio on Bobby:

Bobby told me incredible stories about his life during those days at the beach house. He told me how he was still in high school when the first acid test happened. When it was over, the sun came out, and he had to do his math homework as he raced back to school on the train. He said after the second or third acid test, he looked down at his homework and said, “Nah.” And that was it. The rest of his life was on the road, in the Grateful Dead and other bands.

Nothin’ left to do but smile, smile, smile. 🙂

Beautiful Bobby.

Man this one hits home. As silly as I feel saying it, the Dead have been a huge part of my life. With music it is them, and then everyone else. I went to my first show at 13. 

Thanks for alot of great memories Bobby.

The last time I got to see Bob. Last song I got to see him play was Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door. Had such a blast at this show. Dark Hollow>Catfish John had me beaming.

My best memory of Bob Weir was seeing him play at Sweetwater Saloon in Mill Valley, CA.  This was in the early-mid 90s, so Sweetwater was just a bar that held less than 100 people, decades before it became a much larger music hall.  I used to have a beer at the bar every day after class, just so they would get to know me and let me in whenever someone big played there.  

I have looked for video of it over the years without much luck.  If anyone happens to find one, please pass it along.  I am the guy sitting at the front table with his feet resting next to Bob's microphone stand. 🤣

RIP Bobby
