it's going to happen to all of us, but, yeah, sad to see him go.

I loved this pic shared by Bruce .... notice the little fella in his BB shirt.
Amazing how his journey ended up in BR playing and coaching for the Tigers.

I was there for that too. I thought that band was much better than the subsequent wolf bros. band he had.

Thanks for that link.
Agreed. I've been on a Billy Strings deep dive for a month and he's the real deal.
Back to the topic of the thread, which I've been late for. Bobby Weir first came on my radar around 1980 when the Dead were playing Boulder and Bobby did a long interview with a Denver TV station. He acquitted himself really well. My impression was very negative towards the Dead, without actually knowing anything about their music. Bobby talked about going for a run in the mountians with lightning hitting all around; and that he could respect the freedom aspect of conservative thinking. It changed my impression of the band for the better.
1981 I'd just joined the work force in a place that was awful. Showtime came out with a Grateful Dead special on their Reckoning (and Dead Set?) shows. I must have watched it a dozen times and was hooked. I liked Bobby, in particular on Dark Hollow and Monkey and the Engineer.
Last time I saw him was with Ratdog in Baton Rouge around 2000. Honestly, not a very good show. But I remember seeing Bobby walking around with a couple of hippy chicks on the fringes of another band playing and thinking "Holly Crap, does nobody else recognize him?".
RIP. He could have had some more years of playing great music. But even then, what a hell of a life he lived.
