calvino Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Didn't Bobby have a similar episode last year or so? Wish him the best. And yes - gotta keep playing no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Didn't Bobby have a similar episode last year or so? Wish him the best. And yes - gotta keep playing no matter what.Yeah, he did. The guy pretty much plays year-round in any of the solo/duet/trio//band formations he's in, plus hosts the Wed. night deals when not getting paid to play. Like MB said, the guy has given sooooo much music. I can certainly give a guy a Mulligan every now and then just for that fact alone. Hope what ever it is he can iron it out after a short break and be back in a little bit, so everybody hang loose.... Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 what about when the EMTs come out w/ the defibrillator? Ok, maybe you can take a break for that. I did read that Weir left in a ambulance. And yes, Lammy - he definitely is a busy dude. Gans always says he got (kids) college tuitions to pay off. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That is a bummer. I was just getting psyched to see him open for Wilco/MMJ/Dylan. Wondering if that will happen now.... Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 John K. posted on his FB page (reprinted by Relix) that Weir took an Ambien by mistake instead of his pain meds for his shoulder injury. Which would explain things. You can believe it, or not. But that's what the man said. If true, it's pretty embarrassing for Bobby. Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 i'm pretty sure bob's been clean and healthy for a long time. his voice has never deteriorated and i remember several interviews with him discussing his yoga/fitness/food regime. vibes his way. i didn't like seeing that. what a trooper Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 So uncomfortably weird to watch that. Spoke to a friend who was in the house. Says Weir was screwing up lyrics big time earlier in the show. Maybe I'm naive, but I do believe the ambien story. He looks like someone who was drugged. So embarrassing for him. 4/24/78, Normal IL (35 years ago today): Stayin' Alive Tease -> Me & My Uncle Yep, they actually did that.Yes they did, and I was there. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they did, and I was there.I'm inclined to believe the Ambien story, too. Despite his pranksterish nature I've always thought Weir was the most 'symptom-free' member of the Grateful Dead. And after watching his big brother (Jerry) waste himself on hard drugs I'm sure he abhors narcotics for recreational purposes. AWESOME that you saw the NORML (wink) show.

calvino Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah an "aw-shucks". Glad it all appears to be okay. Looking forward to the next Dave's Pick installment - haven't gotten a shipping email, yet. Lastly, happy 4/29/71 - my first tape (I believe). (oddly enough, my 13th wedding aniversy, too).

calvino Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It's up on their website, too --- that's a bummer. http://furthur.net/Due to unforeseen circumstances, Furthur regretfully will be unable to appear as scheduled at BottleRock Napa Valley on Thursday, May 9. Grateful Dead & Furthur Co-Founder Bob Weir, is unable to perform in any capacity for the next several weeks. Furthur featuring Phil Lesh & Bob Weir look forward to returning to the road as scheduled on July 11 in Brooklyn for their Summer tour, which carries them through early October on the West Coast Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I can't form a conclusion based on the brief "official"statement issued other than the guy needs a break. Whether it's substance-related or not is really no matter, in my eyes. Dude is 65 and has been entertaining for nearly 50 years. Link to post Share on other sites
