1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Like many Grateful Dead fans, all Grateful Dead fans, I 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: spent the weekend grieving the loss of Bob Weir, a 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: guy who has been a big part of my life 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: since really nineteen eighty six nineteen eighty seven. The only 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: band that I ever loved is The Grateful Dead, the 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: only band I would travel to California, to Las Vegas, 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: across the country, anywhere they played, I'd go see them. 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: That's how much I loved this band, and that's how 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: much I loved Bob Weir. I told people who are 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: associated with the Grateful Dead and Dead in Company, after 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: telling them that I was sorry for their loss, that 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: Bob Weir did something fairly amazing. He gave not one, 13 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: but two generations of my family, separated by thirty plus years, 14 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: some of the the greatest memories of our lifetimes. He did, 15 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: and Bob's final act may have been his greatest act. 16 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: By forming Dead in Company, what Bob was able to 17 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: do was take the music that I loved and he 18 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: allowed me to share it with my daughters and with 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: my family, him, John Mayer, Jeff O'tel, Bill Mickey, and 20 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: it was fantastic. It was such a blessing because now 21 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: what I found. And I'll tell you a quick story 22 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: before we get to Bob Weir, because he was nice 23 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: enough to sit down with us, and it was the 24 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: thrill of a lifetime for me. I remember telling Billy, 25 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: the one guest I would want on above any other 26 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: is Bob Weir. And on February seventeenth, twenty twenty two, 27 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: that man, a busy man, was great enough to come 28 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: on a podcast called Stupidity and sit down with me 29 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: for thirty to forty minutes. And I was in awe. 30 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I was star struck. But it quickly became apparent to 31 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: me that Bobby was just as grateful to me as 32 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: I was to him. And that's what The Grateful Dead 33 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: and that's what Bob Weir is all about. When I 34 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: first started playing The Grateful Dead in my house, my 35 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: daughters were young, my wife had barely heard of them. 36 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: But I remember my daughters asking me directly and bluntly, Dad, 37 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: what is this garbage? And I would respond, this garbage 38 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: is the greatest music I've ever heard, and it's a 39 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: band called The Grateful Dead. Fast forward a few years 40 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: and John Mayer decided to team up with Bob we 41 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: Are in Debt and Company. And it was such a 42 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: great choice by Bobby to choose John, to trust John, 43 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: to allow John to carry this great music forward, but 44 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: also to open up their music catalog to kids like 45 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: my daughters. Because John Mayer made Dead in Company cool 46 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: enough that my daughters became fans of Dead and Company 47 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: and wanted me to take them to concert. So suddenly 48 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: the thing I grew up doing, the thing I loved 49 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: most going to Dead shows because they created a place 50 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: and an environment where I could just be me and 51 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: you could just be you for three to four hours, 52 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: worry free, no judgment. But Mayer was such a great 53 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: selection because it opened it up to young people. If 54 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: John Mayer thinks it's cool, then I think it's cool. 55 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: And so I took my daughters and we went to 56 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: several shows, and then this is where it turned for me, 57 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: and I get a little bit emotional. My daughters the 58 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: thing they asked me about growing up, Dad, what is 59 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: this garbage? Is the thing they started playing in their headphones, 60 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: is the thing they started playing throughout our house. They 61 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: were as emotional as I was with the passing of 62 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Bob Weir over the weekend, and so Bobby thank you. 63 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: I will miss you, and just know the greatest gift 64 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: that you gave many of us was the gift of 65 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: creating a community and a culture where we could be 66 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: ourselves and share it with others, and that those others 67 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: they might reject it at first, but eventually they would 68 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: learn just how cool this fucking thing is. And there 69 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: was no one cooler than you, Bob. Very special day 70 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: for me. Bob, we are going to join us. He 71 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: is the founding member of my favorite band, The Grateful Dad, 72 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: now debting company, along with John Mayer. And we'll get 73 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: to all of that in just a second. Plus, Bob 74 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: and the Wolf Brothers will release Bobby Weir and Wolf 75 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: Brothers Live in Colorado. They're highly anticipated first ever vinyl 76 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: collection of recorded material. Very excited about that and Bob 77 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: were joined us right now. Bob, thanks for doing this. 78 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: We appreciate it your pleasure. Bob, put us where. I 79 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: know you're a big forty nine Ers fan. YEA, yeah, 80 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: so I'm wondering, like, put us where you were and 81 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: what you were going through as the forty nine Ers 82 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: lost there in the NFC Championship game. 83 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: Well, you know I was there at the game. I 84 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 2: went down to check it out. I had a feeling 85 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: it was going to go kind of like it did. 86 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: The uh, the Niners, they're a pretty complete team, but uh, 87 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: you know, and all of us were hoping that Jimmy 88 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: g would get over whatever Humpy needs to get over 89 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: and uh and not choke. But you know, maybe maybe 90 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: sometime in the future. I don't know, but you know, 91 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: you could feel him choking, and the whole team. The 92 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: whole team choked when he did. You know, everybody was 93 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 2: busy second guessing uh themselves and and everybody else. It 94 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: was at first they were okay, but you know he 95 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: you know, he kind of has that about him. And 96 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: so it was what we did. What we saw there 97 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: was the uh you know, changing into the guard basically, 98 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: and it happened. It happened, I think, right and right 99 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: before our eyes. Next year, Uh, Trey Lance steps in 100 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: and he doesn't he doesn't really have to be altogether 101 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: that excellent is just if he uses the skill set 102 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: that he we know he has, the Niners will be 103 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: a more complete team on offense. If he can throw 104 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: the ball down the field, which apparently he can do, 105 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: then that's going to stretch the field. Then if if 106 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: when the pocket collapses, if he's good for ten yards 107 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: up the middle, they're going to have to put us 108 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: by up close to laurna scrimmage. And that means that 109 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: deeper middle there where Deebo and uh and and Kittle 110 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: kind of make their living, there's gonna there are gonna 111 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: be more open receivers. And so if Trey is able 112 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: to read the field, even as well as Jimmy does, 113 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: which is not all that swell and not all that great, 114 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: but if if he's able to read the field and 115 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: knows where to look for his guys, there's gonna be 116 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: there're gonna be much more open window. There are gonna 117 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: there are gonna be much more open windows and uh. 118 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: And then beyond that, if he's as good as everybody 119 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: hopes he is, then that's just that's that's the uh, 120 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: that's the gravy, Bob. 121 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: A couple of things. That was fantastic, Like you call 122 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: Jimmy g a choker, and then you really like broke 123 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: it down and I suggest perhaps you should quit what 124 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: it is you're doing. You're doing fine, by the way, 125 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: and get into my business. That was fucking amazing, Bobby, But. 126 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody saw it. Everybody you know, and and 127 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: like I say, you know is a team sport. One 128 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 2: guy chokes, they're all gonna choke. It's not like he 129 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: he chokes, per se, it's there. There are reasons for that. 130 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: He saw that they were taken away the places he goes, 131 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 2: and so he didn't know what to do because there 132 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: is nothing to do, right, you know, if you if 133 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: you can't, if you can't, if you can't, if they're 134 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: taking away the deep middle or you know nothing, they're 135 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: not so deep middle. You know the places where deepo 136 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: and and and kittle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know between 137 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: the hashes, around the hashes, and you know, fifteen yards 138 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: up there. If if you take that away, he had 139 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: nowhere to go. Yeah, no, you have nowhere to go. 140 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how because they're literally 141 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback away. Bob. I'm wondering when did your love 142 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: for music start and where did he come from? 143 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: I you know, I grew up in the fifties. You know, 144 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: childhood was in the fifties and early sixties, and uh 145 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: here in northern California, and I listened to the radio, 146 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: I listened to you. That was the heyday of rock 147 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: and roll of rock and roll is within the narrow 148 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: description of what how I view rock and roll. Rock 149 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: and roll happened for just a few years, and uh 150 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: and uh and uh you know Elvis Presley, Uh, Chuck Berry, 151 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: the Everly Brothers. To some degree, it was. It was 152 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: a very specific kind of deal. And back in those days, 153 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: for instance, there was there was not much of a 154 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,599 Speaker 2: difference between between country and in rock and roll. It 155 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: was they called it rockabilly. That was where my my 156 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: appreciation for music got case hardened. Uh. That. Plus, I 157 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: had a nanny when I was a kid who used 158 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: to sit in front of our our big seventy eight 159 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 2: record player, a big ornate deal and play opera for me. 160 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: And and so I used to love Mario Alonza. Was 161 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: it was a big favorite. 162 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: Why did you know this was something you wanted to 163 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: or pursue for a living? 164 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: Well, I remember I was about four years old when 165 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 2: I first heard Mario A. Lonza and that guy had pipes. 166 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: And you got some pipes too, Bobby, by the way. 167 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: Oh thanks, I knew. I knew when I was old 168 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: enough to hear it, that that's what I wanted to 169 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 2: go for. 170 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: Did you ever doubt. Did you ever think, hey, I'm 171 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: not going to make it. 172 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 2: No, it never crossed my mind. It's what I love 173 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: that you have to have and you just go for it. 174 00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: That's that. 175 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: I absolutely love that. When did you know, Bob, Like, 176 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: was there a moment for you where you said, hey, 177 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: I've made it. We've made it as a band, the 178 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: grateful dad has made it. Was there a moment for 179 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: you guys? N it just kind of happened. 180 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: No, I've got I've got a view of that whole 181 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: situation that goes pretty much like this, the stuff that 182 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: the decisions I make these days, the stuff that I'm 183 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 2: working on in all it. I try to view all 184 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,599 Speaker 2: the decisions I make and all the stuff that I 185 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 2: do in terms of how will this play in three 186 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: hundred years? Because if we do stuff right, is pretty 187 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: pretty clear to me that people will still be talking 188 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 2: about it in three hundred years. Yeah, And so I 189 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: try to I tried to run that. That's my first consideration. 190 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 2: What am I gonna, What am I gonna? What s 191 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: gals am I going to work on today? What what 192 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: am I going to practice today? Well, what's gonna make 193 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: the biggest difference in you know, what needs, what needs 194 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: the most work for that three hundred year ideal. And 195 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: that's that's how I go about things now. 196 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: Bob. It's interesting. I'll tell you a funny story because 197 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: and I'm so happy you're still doing it and doing 198 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: it now with Wolf Brothers and doing it now with 199 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: Dead and Company. And I've seen Dead and Company. I've 200 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: been to playing in the sand every year. You guys 201 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: have done it. I love you guys. Oh it's fantastic. 202 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you a funny story. I used to 203 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: play your music around my house all the time, and 204 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: my daughter's teenage daughters they'd be like that, don't tate 205 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: this the wrong way, Bob. Okay, they would say, Daddy, 206 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: what is this? Turn this crap off? Okay. And then 207 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: you started Dead in Company and you got John Mayer to, 208 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: I guess, play the role of Jerry, although no one 209 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: will ever be able to play that role and fill 210 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: that role fell the void of Jerry Garcia, and all 211 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the music that my daughters were making 212 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: fun of me for listening to was the coolest thing 213 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: they had ever heard, simply because of John and Ayer. 214 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: So I wanted you to know that, and they have 215 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: now been to fifteen shows with me. 216 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: Really well, you know, if that's where it takes, then 217 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 2: that's where it takes more to it than that you 218 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: connect to generations though, Bob, that's awesome. Yeah, you know, 219 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: I respectfully submit that there are other changes that I'm 220 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: not going to point out you can look for. There 221 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: are other changes in the music Beside the addition of 222 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: John Mayer. There's some stuff that's been simplified just by 223 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: virtue of the of our approach to it. That makes 224 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: the music a little more accessible because the songs are 225 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: I think the songs are I think the songs are 226 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: there that they're going to stand the test of time 227 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 2: to the point where I'm pretty sure they'll be talking 228 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: about them in three hundred years. But it's how you 229 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: flash them out. And we have made minor corrections in 230 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: our approach to uh to how we play the songs. 231 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: We still play them open ended and all that kind 232 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: of stuff, and everybody has quite a bit of freedom 233 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: to to interpret them on a game in an evening however 234 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: it is they feel. But there is there's there's been 235 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of simplification that's been done to the 236 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: overall approach that that I think the music benefits by 237 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: the songs definitely benefit by I don't I don't want 238 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: to get into specifics, but but I'll just leave it 239 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: at that. 240 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: I will tell you that as long as you're standing 241 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of that stage, it legitimizes everything for me. 242 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: So I'll keep going. Okay, my kids are going from Malior. 243 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm going for you, Bob. Okay, Bob, here is with us. 244 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: UH. 245 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: You have your Wolf Brother's store coming up. I'm going 246 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: to a show in Chicago. I'm very excited. I haven't 247 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: seen you guys yet. I obviously saw you, you know, 248 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: with Jerry back in the in the eighties when I 249 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: was growing up in the nineties, and I've seen Dead 250 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: in Company. I have not seen you with Wolf Brothers yet. 251 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: You have a tour. I think it starts March knife 252 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: in Nashville. I'm going to the show on UH on 253 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: March eighteeth in Chicago. So I'm looking forward to about 254 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: what is kind of different about what you do with 255 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: Wolf Brothers as opposed to what you do with Dead 256 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: and Company. 257 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: Well, wolf Bros. Is a little more experimental. Wolf Bros. 258 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: Got started as we're doing I'm doing a project whereby 259 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: I'm orchestrating a bunch of dead tunes. We're going to 260 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: try to go for the whole book eventually. Nice. Well, 261 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: I'm working with a guy who teaches down at Stamford 262 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: in their in their music department and UH, and we're 263 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: orchestrating a bunch of U of tunes. And we have 264 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: some dates in in early early March, but they've been 265 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: covided back to uh if that's the word now, covided 266 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: back to UH October with the National Symphony Orchestra and UH, 267 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: we have about four nights worth of material that we're 268 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: going to put out. And one of the things we 269 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 2: want to do with the Symphony Orchestra is to get 270 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 2: long stretches of the music. We want to make make 271 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: it possible to uh get the Symphony Orchestra to improvise, 272 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 2: and we have a number of techniques that we want 273 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: to try to that end. And what we're going to 274 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: do is, UH, well, well we we we we put 275 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 2: together a small section of a couple of string players 276 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: UH and some some wind guys and UH we're going 277 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: to sort of salt them into the UH into the 278 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: Symphony Orchestra as improv section leaders. So that they'll be 279 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: able to get each of the sections to improvise all 280 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 2: of one voice. So if you have thirty two measures, 281 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 2: we're going to do these improv sections. Then these guys 282 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: take over as a section leader and feed the guys 283 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 2: in their section, whether it be the violins or cellos 284 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 2: or trumpets or whatever. They feed them whatever lines are 285 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: going to be playing for this over these chord changes, 286 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: and it'll never fall together the same way twice, and. 287 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: It never does both. 288 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: And these guys have been working with us now for 289 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 2: a while, so they know they're they're sort of inculcated, 290 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: if you will, to our way of doing things, and 291 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 2: they have a sense of how to do this and 292 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: and so like I say, we we seed them out 293 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 2: into the orchestra. And Uh, anyway, but those are the 294 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: guys you're going to see up to one side of 295 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 2: the stage. Uh, the stage left. Uh there, that's that's 296 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: our little section there and then uh and then we 297 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: have the core band now content Uh, we have Jeff 298 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: on keyboard now and uh and uh, I think Barry 299 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: is going to be various. Slice is going to be 300 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: out there on pillow steel. 301 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: Awesome, Bob, you love this like you're not slowing down. 302 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: I think it, like, is it fair to say you're 303 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: enjoying this as much as ever. 304 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: If not more so? Young? 305 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: Really? 306 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I really, you know. This is what 307 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 2: I'm here for. 308 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: Bob. I have to fill in the blank questions for you, 309 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: and I'll get to them in a second. But I 310 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: was wondering real quick here, how did you, guys land 311 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: how did you land on the decision to go with 312 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: with john Nyiry? And I only ask it from this standpoint, 313 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: not only to tie generations together. So now I find 314 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: my daughters now not listening to Dead and Company. They're 315 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: listening to the Dead okay back in the seventies and 316 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: the eighties and the nineties, the shows that I went to, 317 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: because they have grown to love them so much. But 318 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: I think it was such an inspired selection to go 319 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: with John Mayer. And I'm wondering how it came about, 320 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: because Bob, you know his Dead fans, we don't. The 321 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: singing is the singing, and it's fantastic, and we love 322 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: the lyrics, and you have a great voice, and he 323 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: has a great voice. But for us, as Dead fans, 324 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: it's about hitting that jam On Terrapin or Brown Eyed 325 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: Woman or a loser. That's all we really care about, Bob. 326 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: And he hits them. I don't want to say exactly 327 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: like Jerry, but pretty damn close. 328 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: Well, he has a voice to bring to it, and 329 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 2: god knows it's an authentic one. He's put in some 330 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: mirrors on his instrument both vocally and instrumentally. He came 331 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: to the realization that he wanted to be part of 332 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: a band rather than being the guy who was who 333 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: was the be all and end all of of of 334 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: whatever musical effort was being put out. And uh.
