Pretty good. The train trip across Canada was in1970, a tour that included the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Buddy Guy, Flying Burrito Bros, Ian & Sylvia's Great Speckled Bird, Mountain and Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. It was made into a movie, the Festival Express. There was a massive amount of drinking on the train, especially by Rick Danko of the Band and Janis. Bob Weir is a great storyteller, and of course he has a gazillion of them.
Just a great, enthralling look at these legends in their prime, filled with a love of rock and blues stretching back to the first blues disc recordings in the 1920s.
"well spoken"? it takes him 30 seconds between EACH WORD!! i'd say he's "WELL TOKEN" obviously amongst countless acid/mushroom trips! enjoy the dead though true professionals as a band!
@@casedismissed8581 countless ? He’s said many many times that acid wasn’t really a long standing thing for him. It was a thing for a brief period in the late 60’s and ran its course.
Yeah "caustic" really puts an individuals grasp of vocabulary on full display.🙄 Im jk friend I just get a kick out of how easily impressed we as heads tend to get.🤣
The shirt Andy has on is from New Years 1986, Henry J. Kaiser arena; Oakland, CA. Was there, working for BGP. Cool shirt design, and fortunately got one for working the show.
At 1:45 as Weir gets to the point of the story (to talk about the ghost), Anderson interrupts to talk about his maybe haunted house, and kills the whole question. Bob didn't tell us about the ghost, Anderson gives no indication weather he's seen a ghost or not. Interviewer (what is this guy on?) lets it happen and moves on to the next question. This video is Weir'd.
That's what heavy LSD and other drug use throughout your life does to the brain lmao Weir is one of a kind lol Reminds me of trying to answer questions and explain things on acid. Takes you on a little journey lmao
I've loved the Dead for the last 50 years. Still, to hear some of your heroes making a moron of himself by his comment on President Donald Trump. That's just sad. Stick with what you know, Bob!
I love you Andy, but c’mon. You didn’t know Janis & Pigpen were a thing? That’s common knowledge. Were you just saying that to Bobby to play up the “revelation”. Iko-Iko
This is great & you’ve got excellent taste in music, my friend! Used to watch Anderson Cooper each morning in high school on “channel one” news! Liked him then & now…carry on, boys ✌🏽
Somebody tell Bob Weir that the thin sheathing used on the walls of the old camp he describes as hearing Janis and Pig Pen making love noises through was probably "beaver board", an especially apt name in this case.
Is that a Grateful💀Dead bootleg cassette tape hoodie Greg is wearing? I want one if it is! Brings back memories of my Grateful💀Dead tape collection from the early 90s.
He's just doing a job. Keep in mind that this guy is the King of Unreal Reality TV. He's more accustomed to interviewing the smarmiest people in the entertainment business - the Real Housewives. I still like Andy's personality, even though I never look at his show or any of the reality atrocities he has his mark on. This was plenty of fun though.
I love how Jerry would say like 500 words per minute in an interview and it would be 98% focused, intelligent and entertaining. Then contrast that with Bob, who acts like he just took a giant dab at the peak of a strong mushroom trip :) And Jerry would say Bill was the weird one lol
Actually Donald Trump introduced Ratdog at Wetlands in the 90s. I was there. Bobby's memory is better than he has any right to expect it to be but still not that good. Hahaha "Time wounds all heels!" °°°~ Bob Weir~°°° ❄️🌎❄️😜👌❄️

Bob and Janis didn’t really invent the wordless coda to Bobby McGee, it’s always been there since Kris Kristofferson first wrote it. Janis did take to a whole other level with her improvisation however.
Anderson Cooper’s mother was Gloria Vanderbilt, of the legendary Vanderbilt family. Anderson Cooper was raised im amongst NYC’s most elite high society. Growing up in Manhattan, he was exposed to The Who’s Who in everything from movies to TV to sports to writers to artists, etc., right in his own childhood home. He didn’t have much to offer here, but he definitely has tons of stories worth sharing.

This is scripted. Do you think he just guessed that Weir also met Steve Jobs and Donald trump. Do you think he randomly guessed Anderson Cooper met Charlie chaplin? It's called television.
Can’t believe Bobby is giving these clowns the time of day. He’s bought into the programming hook, line and sinker. Completely towing the establishment line. 🤡🌎
To be fair he's gotta stay kinda in the spotlight to promote a tour. But mostly, I think it's because he comes from a time when people on TV were cool and never really noticed how things have changed.

because next time things won't be the same ...
And kept a woman that would be good to him, wont hide his liquor try to serve him tea. Janis was a gamer.

Has Bob written a book? It would be sad if his stories weren't told! He must have thousands of them. Really good interviews of both him and Anderson
I’ve heard him talk about being in the process of writing one sometime last year, haven’t heard anything since
Weird, I was just thinking about that today, he needs to!
There’s a documentary about his life, that is quite good!
see the film 'the other one' ... weir 's documentary ....
I read awhile back that he said “I haven’t gotten around to it yet” which could be considered a good sign. But being Weir, probably not.
The shirt Andy has on is from New Years 1986, Henry J. Kaiser arena; Oakland, CA. Was there, working for BGP. Cool shirt design, and fortunately got one for working the show.

Reminds me of my Dad
Bob! Wore my short shorts to your show in mobile many years ago! Gonna squeeze into them again for jazzfest. Love you! Love "lovelight"

I'm a big Bob Weir fan, but sitting with Anderson Cooper, I immediately wondered, did they first meet at the Bohemian Grove?
Probably.
Weir everywhere!
Bobby's book title could be called: "That's It For the Other One" named after his and Garcia's masterpiece 🎼 of the same name.
