Happy Birthday Bob Weir: Performing Live With 5 Different Projects

132

Guitarist Bob Weir was born in San Francisco on this date in 1947. Weir co-founded the Grateful Dead in 1965 and was a key member of the band through their dissolution following Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. Bobby’s signature rhythmic guitar work and impressive songwriting ability helped the Grateful Dead develop a sound all their own and a huge fanbase. “Playing In The Band,” “Sugar Magnolia,” “Truckin’,” “The Other One” and “Cassidy” are just a few classic Grateful Dead tunes Weir had a hand in writing and sang lead on with the band.

Weir kept busy with extracurricular activities before Jerry’s passing and has been a member of a number of groups over the past 25 years. The JamBase Live Video Archive (JBLVA) features a vast array of Bob Weir videos, including over 1,000 Grateful Dead videos and more. Celebrate Bob Weir’s 73rd birthday Full Show Friday style with footage of five complete performances from five different projects in which Bobby participated via the JBLVA.
