For more than half a century, Bob Weir stood at the center of American music, a founding member of the Grateful Dead whose rhythm guitar work, distinctive baritone, and restless creative spirit helped define one of the most enduring legacies in rock history.
Yet he was so much more than that as well. He was not only an inspiring artist, he was an inviting presence. He was a beloved figure and friend for millions of fans, to whom he was “Bobby.”
Relix's 132-page softcover edition pays tribute to this endearing and enduring musician.
Rare and archival photography traces Weir's remarkable journey, from the Haight-Ashbury days of the mid-1960s through decades of evolution as a performer, bandleader, and cultural touchstone. Archival interviews, newly discovered conversations and fresh pieces of journalism trace his earliest days with the Dead through Ratdog, Furthur, Dead & Company, and Wolf Bros.
This edition of Relix honors an artist who never stopped moving forward. It’s been lovingly crafted for fellow Deadheads, music lovers, collectors and everyone who misses their Bobby.
