a Netflix documentary..... The Other One: The Long, Strange Trip of Bob Weir
"What you get is mostly what you expect from this film--a lot of vintage footage of the band, a lot of interviews with band members and friends as well as interviews with Weir himself. However, what I really like is the access to Weir that the film gives you. He narrates much of the film and there is a lot of interesting insights and observations about himself that make this a most revealing film- -especially when he talks about his life since the Grateful Death broke up following the death of Garcia. It also, most importantly, is very interesting and their energy is infectious. I appreciated how Weir and his band mates didn't seem to do this for the money or fame but for a drive to perform--and Weir apparently has performed more than 6000 times on stage! So, for the uninitiated like me, it's very enjoyable and well worth seeing because of Weir and the Dead's love of what they do." exermpt review

After a RatDog gig, the band happened to be staying at the same hotel as us. I shook Bobby's hand and mumbled a few tipsy and appreciative words. Nice guy.
The embedded Tiny Desk Concert video didn't play for me. Here it is. (I think). There is a harpist!
