 Bob Weir: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more Music.com
Weir continues to develop as a bandleader and an elder for new generations of jam bands.
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.
A founding member of the Grateful Dead [+], Bob Weir [+]'s musical legacy (separate from its cultural implications) will be of an utterly strange rhythm guitar player and songwriter who grew up in one of the most lasting outside bands of the 1960s.

The Bob Weir Band, featuring Bobby Cochran on lead guitar, toured briefly after the LP was released.
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 Here The Best Of Bob Weir
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.
Of course, Weir is rightly associated with live music, and there is a wealth of that.

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.
This album is amazing, yet Weir and company make it look easy.

 BOB WEIR AND RATDOG
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.
Keyboards and guitars are mostly recorded direct (though Weir might also have a mic on his speaker) to Studer 820 24-track with Dolby SR.
Bob also started a bunch of the songs, too, but everyone's been participating.

 JR.com: Bob Weir - Weir Here: The Best Of Bob Weir in Music: Pop:
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.
Most of that essential album is included here, alongside songs from Weir's later solo efforts, some slightly jazzier and a couple cast in a more hard-hitting rock format.

 Hear/Say: America's College Music Magazine - Reviews - Albums - Bob Weir and RatDog: Evening Moods
Bob Weir and his ace assemblage of musicians churn out a fine and respectable album here.
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.
His tours were filled with odd covers of everything from Van Morrison to Jimmy Cliff, and he often pulled out rarely heard tunes from his own various solo albums.

 Bob Weir : Where the Beat Meets the Street - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
As he had in his '70s group, Kingfish, Weir began to take a backseat in his own band, leaving most of the singing up to Bobby Cochran and bringing in a host of outside songwriters.
If Bobby & The Midnites' debut album represented a half-hearted attempt to go pop on the part of Grateful Dead guitarist/singer Bob Weir, Where The Beat Meets The Street, The Midnites' second and final album, saw the group going for mid-'80s radio acceptance with a vengeance.
Jeff Baxter provided a sharp production sound keyed to Billy Cobham's driving drums, and what you got was, as one song put it, "Rock In The '80s," a set of frisky toe-tappers that concerned themselves mostly with the magical world of rock & roll.

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.
Yet as Weir steadily carves himself a new catalog of songs with Ratdog, he still finds himself irresistibly drawn back toward the music of Dead.
He realizes who his core audience is: Deadheads who want to hear their favorite twirling songs.

Weir played center stage most of the night in a backdrop more of guitars and technical instruments and less of the usual stage full of props.
So it was no surprise that for his F.M. Kirby Center concert Tuesday night with his band Ratdog, there were a number of people present who simply respect the talent of Bob Weir outside of his membership in one of the most legendary rock 'n' roll bands of all time.

It is a version of Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War” that was recorded in studio with Ratdog last year.
In my opinion though, the absolute highlight of the two CD’s is the final track of disc two.
Is there another Dylan song that is more poignant and relevant today than “Masters of War?” With apologies to Joan Baez, the Byrds, Richie Havens, and even Jerry Garcia, I don’t think there’s ever been anyone who can interpret a Bob Dylan song as well as Bob Weir.

 Ace by Bob Weir CD
While it's ostensibly a Bob Weir album, the Grateful Dead singer/rhythm guitarist's solo debut is essentially a Dead record without any Jerry Garcia songs.
Personnel: Bob Weir (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Donna Godchaux (vocals); Jerry Garcia (electric guitar, pedal steel guitar); Keith Godchaux (piano); Phil Lesh (bass guitar, background vocals); Dave Torbert (bass guitar); Bill Kreutzmann (drum).
The record closes with the gorgeous, lilting "Cassidy," an uplifting tune indicating that the hippie dream was still alive and well in the Dead camp in the early 1970s.
