Fare-thee-well Bob Weir

My thoughts on Bob Weir, an artist whose music and approach to music influenced me beyond belief.

Dickey Betts & Bob Weir at Watkins Glen, July 27, 1973.

The video focuses exclusively on my own relationship with Bob Weir as an artist.

That does not mean I overlook the Dead’s immense influence on the Allman Brothers, nor their legendary early 70s partnerships.

The Dead’s influence on the Allman Brothers Band is an important subtext in Play All Night! Duane Allman and the Journey to Fillmore East.

Their relationship comes up quite often around here as well.
