Although Bob Weir played a key role as guitarist and songwriter in the cult success of 'The Grateful Dead,' a series of circumstances led him to be overshadowed by co-founder Jerry Garcia. Weir, who is still frequently on stage in 2015, looks back with band members, crew members, and family on his time with 'The Grateful Dead' and his unique musical and personal relationship with Garcia. It is an excellent introduction for those who do not yet know why 'The Grateful Dead' had such a loyal fanbase for so long and why their concerts—especially in the early years—were unique events. But it is also a portrait of a musician who has not received the recognition for his musical influence. And who, incidentally, is not bothered by that at all.

De Grateful Dead (not The Grateful Dead, that is). Of course, it wasn't an unfamiliar name in my youth, but I never delved into them, and what I've heard here isn't exactly inviting. But because of the praise for Weir's guitar work, among other things, I'm going to check them out.

The documentary tells a remarkable story about the most important band member along with Jerry Garcia, and for Deadheads, it will certainly be a gem. Bob Weir was the handsome one among the rest and was, at least in that respect, the face of the band for a long time, but in the 80s that changed in favor of the more charismatic Garcia, with whom things unfortunately ended badly quite prematurely.

However, it is primarily the life journey of Bob Weir, who can come across as rather dreamy, but he is certainly likeable. Absolutely worth seeing.

3.5*.
