Bob Weir Gets a New Band - And Cake! - for His 71st Birthday

Bob Weir celebrated his 71st birthday by debuting a new band and was surprised with a birthday cake from his wife, Natascha, just before set break.

Bob Weir and Wolf Bros - guitarist Weir, bassist Don Was and drummer Jay Lane - played their first full-length concert in Reno Oct. 16. And after Mrs. Weir emerged with the aforementioned cake, the audience serenaded him with a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday” before he walked off stage to celebrate during setbreak.

Wolf Bros is the latest in a long list of bands Weir’s played in over the past 53 years, including the Grateful Dead, Kingfish, Bobby and the Midnites, RatDog, the Other Ones, the Dead, Furthur, the Campfire Band and Dead & Company.

Longtime bandmate Bill Kreutzmann also wished Weir a happy day with a lengthy Facebook post that noted the guitarist “continues to perform more than anyone I know ... bringing us the gift of music.”

“I’m lucky in that I get to celebrate life alongside Bobby often,” Kreutzmann wrote. “But today, on his birthday, it is his life that I’m celebrating. Happy birthday, Bobby! Here’s to another great year, old friend.”

Reflecting on Bar-Lev’s “Long Strange Trip”

Amazon Prime is streaming this significant documentary look at the Grateful Dead.  I apologize to my rock’n’roll concert crew for watching it by myself, in chapters, over 36 hours, rather than our plan for seeing it together in semi-home theater setting all at once.  I hope we do it.

It is a fine fine souvenir with interesting, mostly successful artistic choices.  I like the focus on  “my” era, the beginning to the 1974 break and, if, as it should be about Garcia, at least this is the period where he is lively, engaged, articulate, and active.  As a film, it’s a bit like a Dead show, probably a little too long and repetitive (the same clips of  the Abbot and Costello Frankenstein movie, Garcia mugging for the camera 4 or more times?).  There are omissions: Mountain Girl, even the Widow Garcia, too little Mydland, no Welnick/Hornsby.

So this essay is as much another attempt of mine to figure out what the Dead have meant to me as a review.

It is a reminder that, though I saw 3 shows in this period when they came to the Midwest but otherwise I knew them from records, just how dangerous (Hell’s Angels, the drugs which were not just Dionysian choices to explore consciousness but aggressively enforced or even imposed rites of entry) they were.  From my sheltered remove, they represented then--and represent to this day--an ideal of improvisation, exploration, and freedom.  I teach, study, tell jokes in part because of them as I look for connections, community, and syntheses.  Certainly, they shape my approach to music as I gleefully followed them to bluegrass, folk, jazz, experimental music which made the jumps to Celtic, Balkan, chamber music, and Baroque intelligible and natural next steps.

So they matter very much.

But the fact is that I could have an idealized view of them in their prime period.  That the lame “Steal Your Face” from their 1974 goodbye shows and the too sterile “Terrapin Station” and “Shakedown Street” let me off the bus until the taping scene and the Hornsby bump brought me back.  So I’ve spent more actual time in a Garcia-less Deadheadland than with him.  If I got “Anthem of the Sun” in 1968 and was interested until 1974 and then picked it up from 1988 say until the end, that’s just 13 years with Garcia and these 22 years since.  I’ve seen THEM more often in the various iterations (The Other Ones, The Dead, Ratdog, Phil and Friends, Furthur, Dead and Company) than I saw Garcia.  And it’s with Lesh that the adventure of “my” period has thrived best.

So I celebrate the edgy period but avoided the dangerous overhead.  Lesh remarks that there was a hole in the band when they got back together after 1975 and, since he makes that remark in the 4th chapter, Bar-Lev devotes more than half of his story to the formative years.  Yet at the last 1974, he notes a civil war between the acid and cocaine factions with a roadie enforcing LSD dosing on anyone who wanted to get to the stage.  

I never got the party and have never wanted to experience a moment of the magic of the music without the clearest perception.  My biggest shows were the amphitheater shows of the 1990s and, with the survivors, in the 2000s.  The crowds were manageable but not overwhelming.  They were time-machines as we old-timers could see younger versions of ourselves in the crowd.  They want some of that edginess and so take the chances that I/we outgrew and don’t need to take anymore.

So if this is a meditation on aging, then what are we to make of the wonderfully formative follies of youth.  They are both us at our best and yet stupidest.  We forge ourselves and friendships.  We often find romantic partners then, we are at our most attractive, yet we are not fully formed and why we take chances on one another with all our rough edges still befuddles me.

Yet we do form lifelong bonds.  And one of mine is with this band.

That music is my drug, my path to expanded consciousness, my way into the mysteries of the world is something I owe mightily to the Grateful Dead, their edginess and exploration.  I’m so glad I have it and can tap into it.  But I’m relieved that I don’t have to live on the edge.

As the film winds down, it is Garcia who winds down and is consumed.  I find anger still the Kugler-Ross stage easiest to find as I relive his loss.  His anarchism and default of leadership is maddening.  Equally so is that he no longer found the music compelling enough to hang on.  

This documentary is good enough that you mourn again.  We are reminded about how important it all was.  And is.
