tbones Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Tamalpais Research Institute That's a sweet sounding Black Throated Wind they have as the intro... Awesome! Well worth the listen. As much as I love Bobby I never pictured him doing a solo act. This BTWind is in a studio but he did do a solo show at the sundance film festival this year. You can see the Jack Straw on his website Bobweir.net i think. Its also very good. Hes got another performance in maine this summer. I hope its a trend to continue.

Forum MVP acududeman Posted March 21, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's good to hear that Bob can still sing when he puts his mind to it......that was great! It puzzles me, therefore, why he chooses his Captain Kirk delivery so often these days. Maybe in an amplified situation (like Furthur) his voice no longer has the strength to project while staying in tune (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeyedbert Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Bobby - the Grateful Dead = Poop on a stick. Just my opinion. Call me a hater but you don't know me so just stick up your ass instead I won't call you hater. To each his own. I love Black Throated Wind and I love Bob Weir!! I loved this video. When he first starts singing I thought, oh no, this is going to suck. It seems like he is fighting to get out some notes which is natural as he is getting older. But really the only straining is the first few notes. From then on he just sounds great. He can still get up there. I would go see Bobby accoustic in a heartbeat.

Guest Lisacat Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 regarding the short shorts: "They wouldn't make it through the first butt that hit them," he said with a laugh. "Those things are threadbare. I mean, they started out as jeans back in the '70s. I wore them until they were no longer serviceable as jeans, and then I made them into the cutoffs. They ripped across the backside at one point, but I still wore them for a while afterwards. I just didn't turn around much. But I still got 'em. They're a little fragile now, but if I lose about 10 pounds, I can still squeeze into them if I have to." http://www.sfweekly.com/2008-04-30/news/bob-weir-s-cutoffs-not-going-to-grateful-dead-archive/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jazz-man Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Cool T-shirt! Surprised I haven't seen one around anyweir. I dig that TRI building has no lawn out front but rather pebbles and ornamental grasses. Less watering and no fertilizer and no lawnmower. Winner!

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted March 23, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I do a lot of Bobby hating - mostly in jest - but I do prefer the Jerry tunes. With that being stated, I would love to see Bobby solo acoustic. I wouldn't travel or go on Bobby acoustic tour, but within the area I would be there. Hell, I never thought I would say this, but I hope Bobby breaks out the dog sometime soon. Once again, I wouldn't travel far or do all of those shows, but I would be there enjoying the music with friends. I thought the BTW was great - it is also one of the more enjoyable Bobby tunes for me. I have a feeling Jerry would've found greatness without Bobby. I'm not sure the same greatness would've occured without Hunter. However, I do not believe the Grateful Dead would've been nearly the same without Bobby and I bet we can all name a few Bobby tunes that we really enjoy and love to see performed.

The dog(more or less) looks like its coming back around at least once more on May 14th for Wavys Bday party in Richmond, Ca. looks like an interesting venue.

Reminds me of the old joke: What's the best thing about a Bobby tune? A Jerry tune is up next. I laugh, and I offer this: Certainly it is no show, but you get a pretty good feel for the power of two of the best Bobby songs in a row from '89-'90: Desolation Row, All Along the Watchtower. I'm trying to see if it is possible to burn a hole in a CD from heavy rotation. Maybe if I'm real good I will get some 21st century portable music gadget for Christmas.
