		Weir developed his odd rhythm style playing between the sweet, articulated lead guitar of Jerry Garcia and the avant-garde bass lines of Phil Lesh, who joined the Dead as a newcomer to his instrument after studying trumpet and serial music with composer Luciano Berio at Mills College in the early '60s.
		More importantly, though, Weir's guitar style was developed in specific response to the situation of the Grateful Dead and rarely works successfully without his counterparts in Garcia and Lesh.
		The Dead remained Weir's primary gig through the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, touring incessantly and finally scoring success with their 1987 album In the Dark.

		Bob Weir was born in San Francisco in 1947 and grew up in the suburb of Atherton.
		Weir was "the kid," and while his first Dead song, "The Other One," was not only brilliant and enduring The Dead play it to this day – his early songwriting had its up and downs.
		Weir took from Kingfish – aside from a massive amount of fun – the songs "Lazy Lightnin’" and "Supplication," and a huge dose of encouragement for the idea that, in order to be a creative contributor to the Dead, he needed to do things for himself.

	Bob Weir Rhythm Ace pg1
		Born to a prominent San Francisco family, Bob was in and out of several public and private schools owing to a rebellious nature that was no doubt aggravated by a serious reading disability -dyslexia- and family problems.
		Because Weir and other members of the band were then working at a music store, they had access to electric instruments and took the bait.
		Weir's latest musical project [1981] is Bobby and The Midnites, a group with Cochran, drummer Billy Cobham, and bassist Alphonso Johnson.

	BOB WEIR AND RATDOG
		Andre Pessis and Bob Weir wrote the lyrics to this tale of one man's yearly sexual rendezvous in New Orleans with an aging beauty.
		Bob sits looking nearly cross-eyed, oh-so-serious, his guitar in his lap - and it's the look of a consummate musician with the heart of a careful philosopher.
		What Bob Weir is about, what he is informed by, can be traced to Kerouac and Cassady, Robert Hunter, the Dead, blues, randb, song craft and structure, Eastern philosophy, psychedelia, and much more.

	Guitarist Bob Weir: Balancing money, causes
		Guitarist Bob Weir says that many of the Deadheads misled themselves about the band's significance and he even blames the enormous responsibility felt by Dead leader Jerry Garcia toward the fans as part of the pressure that continually drove him back to drug abuse.
		Bankrate spoke with Weir, currently on the road with Ratdog, about his friends in high places, some of his other endeavors, and the interesting dichotomy between the Dead's extremely liberal lifestyle and views and the tremendous corporate entity it eventually became.
		BOB WEIR: I had one called E-Loan that did real well at first, and that was sort of a darling of that whole community, and then quite suddenly took a nosedive, and a spectacular one.

	Life After The Dead / Guitarist Bob Weir runs with Ratdog at the Warfield
		Still, Weir is in the privileged yet, at the same time, unenviable position of being the obvious torchbearer for the Dead.
		Responsible for laying down the six-string skeleton for the SF legend's jam-band sound, Weir is naturally the one Deadheads turn to for their fix of "Sugar Magnolia" or "Jack Straw," in spite of the fact that Ratdog was formed before Garcia's death as an extension of Weir's duet work with bassist Rob Wasserman.
		Deadheads may recognize Weir chestnuts like "Cassidy" and "One More Saturday Night" but may also be surprised to hear him sing Garcia's lines in "Eyes of the World" and "Mission in the Rain," two of the many Garcia songs Weir has added to his list of possible songs.

	The name is WEIR!
		The Weir family seems to have had a long running feud with the Lockharts, who were accused of many murders during this time but, never punished due to their rank.
		Weirs/Veres of Stonebyres and Archtyfardle and Mossmynemion were branches of the Weirs of Blackwood. In the 1500s a century-old feud between the Weirs of Blackwood and their cousins the Veres of Stonebyres was supposedly ended when the Veres swore allegiance to Weir of Blackwood and acknowledged him as their chief.
		The Scottish Weir motto remains the same as the English de VERE motto: "Vero nihil verius" also written as "Vero nil Verius." This can be translated as "Nothing truer than truth" or alternately "Truth nothing but the truth." And the Weir crest is based on the de VERE coat, with the blue boar.

	BOB WEIR AND RATDOG
		Bob Weir, the former Grateful Dead guitarist/singer, was going to work quickly in the studio, not fuss too much over minutiae, not give in to the "legendary studiophobia," as he once called it, that seemed to grip the Grateful Dead every time they tried to make a record.
		When I went up to Weir's lovely, sylvan Mill Valley, Calif., home studio in March 1999, the new album by Weir's current band, Ratdog, was half finished by his estimation, and he was looking to have the record done by May '99, in time for a planned summer-fall tour.
		It was designed by Weir and Steve Barncard (engineer of the Dead's American Beauty and many other albums), with later input from the Dead's live sound engineer Dan Healy.

		By the summer of '64 Bob Weir, Jerry Garcia and keyboardist "Pigpen" McKernan, were doing numerous gigs there as the Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions.

		Though Bob Weir sang lead on roughly half of the Grateful Dead's songs, and co-wrote many of them, he was frequently overshadowed by Jerry Garcia.
		Weir's first solo album, ACE, was basically a Dead album in disguise, featuring the entire band backing him on material that would become a vital chunk of the Dead's repertoire.
		Wisely, Weir's Dead work is presented on the second disc in live performances, which were always the band's strongest suit.

		When Weir headed out on his own, however, his live repertoire seemed to almost always pull from the Dead’s back pages.
		So for longtime fans, a first listen to Bob Weir and RatDog’s new CD Evening Moods will likely be approached with some degree of skepticism; Bob’s disappointing last solo album Where The Beat Meets The Street (’84) faded into obscurity after it suffered from critical disregard and fan indifference.
		Bob Weir and his ace assemblage of musicians churn out a fine and respectable album here.
