Today as the Dead faithful celebrated the life of Bob Weir, John Mayer delivered perhaps the only “Ripple” that’s ever made me smile-cry… Highly suggest.😔
“I liked the music, but it sounded like a love song, which is not my forte.” - #BobWeir The three part ‘Weather Report Suite,’ was written by Bob Weir, John Barlow, and Eric Andersen. The Dead’s performance at Winterland on October 18, 1974 would mark the final time the complete suite was played live.
The Dead kicked off their first show at Soldier Field on June 22, 1991 with ‘In the Dark’ staple “Hell in a Bucket.” A particularly exciting moment for archivist David Lemieux, who said, “Bob is rocking out the place. It’s one of those versions with the final, vocal closing where Bob is screaming his lungs out and Jerry is playing these incredible riffs underneath.”
