Ol' Bobby-boy has been misrepresented...

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2010

First of all, I'm a big fan of Bob Weir's playing ability. His rhythym style is well thought out & executed - not conventional at all and very refreshing - in a live setting, he is simply outstanding and my favorite 2nd-string guitarist ever.
I'm giving this album 3 stars because of the lack of thought by whoever picked the tracks assembled on this compilation - I hope it wasn't Bob.
Yes I would've liked to see Greatest Story Ever Told on here but this isn't my main gripe. At least we get Lazy Lightnin'/Supplication.
The major annoyance for me is that the 2nd disc is full of Grateful Dead live performances which are available on other Grateful Dead live cds. Those performances are fine but I would've thought that the live material assembled on the 2nd disc should've come from Bob Weir's live performances outside Grateful Dead. This release is baffling for this reason.
I made the mistake of purchasing this without looking into what was included in this set - it doesn't do the great man any justice as to the great material he actually has. I can only recommend this (disc 1) for anyone who wants a small taste of his output. Hopefully the powers that be release another compilation that makes sense.

Another dead head review

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2009

Yes, I have been a Dead Head for over 30 years. So if you are not, maybe this won't be worth reading. Between the times I saw the Grateful Dead, and the times I saw Bobby and the Midnights and Ratdog, it is safe to say that Bob Weir is the one musician I have seen in concert more than anyone else. Of course I have so many albums, cassettes, CD's, bootlegs, etc. to listen to. So why purchase this double album on CD? Well, why not? I can't afford to go out and purchase all of these songs on their respective CD's.

The first CD really has a nice collection of Bobby's album tracks. I especially appreciated "Looks like Rain" and "Lazy Lightnin'." It would be good to supplement this collection with the most excellent Ratdog CD "Evening Moods." Or of course Bobby's masterpiece "Ace."

The second CD has a good collection of live material. It would certainly be easy to say that this or that should have been done differently in this collection. However, it is well worth purchasing for any Bob Weir fan. I'm looking forward to another collection in the future. Hopefully one with "Samson and Delilah" and "I Need a Miracle."

Weir Dead

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2008

This generously apportioned double-CD set features Bob Weir's work both within the Grateful Dead and apart, the first disc comprising studio recordings while the second disc is live. Bob Weir was a founder member of the Dead as a co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, having been in previous incarnations of the band dating back to Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions in early 1964. His earliest solo composition for the Dead is Born Cross-Eyed, though this is not represented on this set. The autobiographical Dead anthem Truckin', however, for which he co-wrote the music, opens the second disc in a rousing 1971 Grateful Dead live version; along with Sugar Magnolia the earliest recordings on the set.

CD1 is a trawl through Bob Weir's side projects: a couple by Kingfish and RatDog, one by Bobby and The Midnites, a few from solo albums and collaborations with Dan Zanes, Rob Wasserman and Neil Young and the like. There is one less than classic track from a Grateful Dead album, Feel Like A Stranger from 1980's Go to Heaven, but the lion's share of the disc comes from the excellent album Ace, which opens CD1. In fact, apart from the first three tracks, all of Ace is included. This is both a good and bad thing as Ace has dated far better than some of the late seventies/eighties recordings, and songs like Cassidy and Looks Like Rain are magnificent. Although conceived as a solo project for some new Bob Weir/John Barlow songs, it is to all intents and purposes a hidden Grateful Dead album as the entire band turned out to play on it. It is a bad thing only in that whereas the other tracks might serve as samplers for the albums from which they come, so much of Ace is represented that few will go on to actually acquire the full thing.

If bought as a substitute for Ace, which awaits re-release, the second disc is ample compensation for those missing tracks. Apart from one rehearsal run-through of Masters Of War played by RatDog, everything is from the vast archive of live Grateful Dead concerts recorded between 1971 and 1990, some of it made available on retrospective live albums released between 1997 and 2003, which only avid collectors will have, but over half an hour of it previously unreleased. All of it has been chosen to effectively illustrate the roles Bob Weir played within the band. The new stuff includes a memorable eleven minute version of Estimated Prophet, a 1989 return to the New Minglewood Blues and a vintage interpretation of Me And Bobby McGee. Probably the greatest live band in the world, a 1989 performance of Man Smart, Woman Smarter sits quite organically beside Jack Straw from 1972.

The strong feeling that arises from playing this representative 2CD set is that the Dead were a collective, and that sometimes the light should be all shining on Bob Weir.

Eine schöne Auswahl der Lieder von Bob Weir mit diversen Interpeten z.B. auch Kingfish und Ratdog. Für jeden Dead Head sehr zu empfehlen!
