Bob Weir Tickets

Bob Weir and The Grateful Dead

On New Year’s Eve 1963, Bob Weir and a friend (ages 16) were wandering through the alleyways of Palo Alto, California looking for a party when they were drawn into a house by the sound of a banjo. There Jerry Garcia was sitting, waiting for his students to arrive. In the meantime Weir and Garcia played all night, deciding shortly after to form their own band. The name of the band was Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, then The Warlocks, and finally The Grateful Dead. While playing with The Grateful Dead, Weir also performed with other bands including Kingfish and Bobby and the Midnites. He formed Ratdog in 1985, and when Jerry Garcia sadly passed away, Bob Weir played under their new name, The Other Ones and shortly after, The Dead. Currently Weir tours with Ratdog, and has played over 800 shows with the band as of April 2008. Ratdog generally performs original material and old Grateful Dead songs, as well as Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, and Beatles covers. Bob Weir tickets are now on sale.
