Isn't common knowledge that Pig was ballin' a shiny black steel jack hammer
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.
@@bluecollar825 Could I be mean to the Pig and serve him tea? No. No, I could not! No woman could! Not while he was singing! 😋 Tasty!
I don't speak Piginese, what did he mean when he said "she's got boxback nitties, whoppin upatang"?
@@buckodonnghaile4309Hmmm got me on that's . . . Don't recall🤔
Lol Bob Weir, one of the strangest guys I’ve ever heard, saying Steve Jobs is “on the Asperger’s Scale a little bit.” Love it ha!!
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.
Festival express
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.
He's more fun than a frog in a glass of milk.
Thank you so much for dropping this comment. I'm just starting to watch that movie. Never heard of it before. Thank you. Peace...
Don't hate on Bobby! He's almost 80. Give the guy a break. Let him enjoy. Love it!
Ya poor rich angry millionaire and Bohemian Grove member
Bob Weir is a mystical being while high! lol
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!
Greatest story ever told
There’s a documentary about his life, that is quite good!
see the film 'the other one' ... weir 's documentary ....
I always like how well spoken Bob is, and his excellent vocabulary
"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.🤣
He said guy "hung himself". It's "hanged" you idiot
@@lucabrasi5070yeah but still takes shrooms today. Burnt as a forgotten hot dog!
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.
I love trying to follow a story bobs telling
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"
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.
Ya, because it's Anderson Cooper, a selfish self-centered to the extreme, left hand lunatic.
Anderson is a spook, look it up
This match of personalities makes me doubt that whole "3 is a magic number" thing. Was hard to watch.
The show's not long. It moves fast, lol.
Him and Anderson are together
Bob Weir does an excellent job on Me & Bobby McGee.
1:48 Cooper interrupting bobby in his ghost story pisses me off alot.
Cut him straight off before he really said much that mattered
that was great Andy, Thanks
That was awesome. Thanks.
I'd LOVE to sit and have dinner with Bobby. Oh the stories he has! 🌹⚡️💀
Ya, so you can sit and watch someone with spaghetti sauce all over their beard, mumble and bumble about themselves, and faded partial memories from drug haze days of long or maybe not long ago.🤪
@@julywestt5277 get get off my lawn ,,, i mean stage !!
Classic, wolf.
Go go bohemian grove and you will find out
Bobby Weir knows no such thing as a "short answer" lol
the frigin back track was giving me anxiety
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
@@zackdunn5315 😂🤣🌈⚡
Good! Bob's not one for sound bites. If you value what he has to tell, you won't put him on the stopwatch.
@@zackdunn5315 He´s dislexic
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 ✌🏽
Owsley’s Acid still in Aces system.
Legend has it that he made vats of the stuff to last in to the next century.
Bobby is the ledgen that that never stops growing .🧸🧸
Love Bob's deadpan delivery.
3:55 oh Bob 🤣🤣
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.
i had a set of childcraft books as a child in the 60s. one of my best teachers ever
Weir is a fucking legend. Luv that dude!!!
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.
So cool to see these 2 characters on the same stage together. Love the interview.
🌴✌🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️✌🌴
But really miss the original 🎶GRATEFUL DEAD🎶
🌴✌😃🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️😃✌🌴
Bob Weir is big league.
@@markfleetwood8697 Agreed, and miss him and the 🎶GratefulDead🎶
Thank you Andy!!! Wonderful interview
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
I agree
Who cares whether he knew or not
It's television bro what do you expect lol
Srsly
Andy's only familiar with male/male relationships. YOU didn't know that?
Thank goodness you didn't ask Bob if he saw a yellow dog...we'd be here all night
Andy I danced with you all night at the Citi field show in July you were awesome
Oh and I apologize to the person who commented asking about where to watch the full thing. All I did was respond with the link to where to watch it On Demand (through the Bravo Network), and it appears CZcams just removed your comment and my reply. CZcams is so goddamn ridiculous. The link is probably in the description (I haven't looked), don't know why they'd censor that.
Andersen Cooper, even duller than on CNN. I didn't think that was possible.
Even with a glass of 🍷
Puke. How nauseating that Weir would stoop to this level.
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.
Is there the full interview somewhere?
This isn't painful enough for you?
@@jg6698 it's good.
I'm a big Bob Weir fan, but sitting with Anderson Cooper, I immediately wondered, did they first meet at the Bohemian Grove?
Bob looks more and more like Ben Rumson (ala Lee Marvin in Paint your Wagon). He looks like a cool dude to hang out with.
Please switch off the background music if makes no sense when someone is talking . Jezzz americans always exaggerating everything . Affff!
bobby is not subject to canned responses to fit a conventional tv segment, he does as he's inclined
Hobby has had a million times more fun than Anderson ever dreamed of.
@@jg6698 Who's Hobby?
@@Sasquatch64 Hobby Lobby?
@@Formula-602 Possibly, but what connection do they have to the Grateful Dead?
@@Sasquatch64 He was a friend of Wavy Gravy…back in the day…
@@Formula-602 Now it is all starting to make sense!
Bob Weir, god bless & namaste
I'd like to hear Bob Weir talk about what he did at Bohemian Grove.
He sold out his fellow countrymen
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
True, but Bob is older than Jerry ever was, and has admitted that he's dyslexic.
@@robertholdsworth837Bob is five years younger than Jerry
Think he means Bob has lived to be older than Jerry.@@jwardbass4452
Met Jimi Hendrix?! Anderson Cooper was 3 years old when he died.
Q - Who thinks Anderson "Mockingbird" Cooper has ever spent quality time chilling w/ Bob @ the Bohemian Grove? Chances are.
I’ve seen mystical beings at a couple Dead shows in the late 80s maybe even in the early 90s
Bobby is great
Legends! Met fucking Charlie Chaplin!!
Big feather in cap, even if only 5 years old.
As if it means a darn thing. I be more interested if he met August West. I am August West.
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.
Duo love light my haunt
well there's 5 minutes i won't get back ... yeeeesh ...
This was your typical oil & water scenario. Too superficial and gross for Bob Weir to waste his time on….
In short, Anderson Cooper hasn't done shit compared to Bob Weir...
Epic
Yes!!!!
Anddyyy you didn’t know Pig and Janis were an item 😮 ??!
Pigpen introduced Janis to Southern Comfort
Who cares?
@@darkstarharry2947 after seeing Janis in concert (she was sipping on a bottle of Southern Comfort there at her feet on the stage) after that we 16y/o girls ... that's what we drank! We all wanted to BE Janis Joplin.
So it was Southern Comfort from that night forward.
@@LucyLennon20 i puked so much after killing a fifth of 100 proof S C with 2 friends one night….The linoleum by my bed was actually buckled…. from my stomach acid!
@@Formula-602
That wasn't fun. Alcohol isn't fun. I hope you are better today.
Bob weir is a cool cat
Asking Bob Weir if he knew Hendrix and Joplin smh.
Of course he would. Anderson Cooper met Charlie Chaplin
I cant believe Im watching Bobby Weir sitting in a seat Id expect to see Larsa Pippen in, in Tevas no less.
Anyone know the reason why Anderson uses the name "Cooper" instead of Vanderbilt?
Say “Anderson Vanderbilt” out loud to yourself.
That’s why.
Because that’s his father’s last name?
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's ghost story was never going to end, was it?
🥱
I was looking for an icepick halfway through the discussion on the walls and their thickness and how you could hear everything. We all understood it in a nanosecond, but he's not even started yet.
who wears short shorts? bob weirs short shorts!
Lol Thanks for that Trump line Bobby!
That looks great for his age if he's almost in his 80s
can't believe I actually liked this one... who woulda thunk AC could dial down his AC-ness to hang with Bob!
This guy cuts off bobby before he told his ghost story. What a horrible interviewer. Its not exciting, just talk, man.
He knew it would never end if he didn't
Love Bobby! Why is Dead & Company breaking up?
They old (except mayer) and deserve to do other things
All popular touring bands like to claim : "This is our final tour" ... but they end up doing "one more tour" yadda, yadda ....
@@LucyLennon20 kind of like the Rolling Stones
John Mayer wants to go back to his solo career
@@LucyLennon20
They cashed in on bringing back the Grateful Dead name to retire it whats the next name gonna be ?
(I’m a fan just telling it like it is)
the audio is awful
Andy is a true deadhead , how does he not know bobby met Janis and Hendrix,I mean they played Woodstock together and Janis is In festival express and countless photos with pigpen and the dead
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.
@@psst...heyyou6508 obviously
I love bob
Pigpen - lucky man.
poor bobby...
Poor Janis
Got a good Rogering didn't she 😆
Lol why is Anderson Cooper there? You're a Saint for tolerating him, Bobby. And thanks for not letting him talk about the actual ghost, AC.
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.
what a mindless program for such a genius to be a part of
Thank John lol jk
Who…A C?🤣
just a couple of company men hanging out
Spit it out Bobby😝🤓. I love you Bobby, and mean no offense.😘
Is 'ranching' a verb?
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!
Yeah - but Trump IS a wanna be dictator.
@@terrylynch9529 Wow. You're THAT easy to convince. Let me tell you about some swamp land...
FACTS, it turned me off too.
Yaas, I have met a Spice Girl...Scary Spice..she was nice
These two hosts discussing Pigpen is like Leona Helmsley talking about heavy metal. Just... doesnt compute. Didnt watch this.
That's not cool about Janice and pig and taking credit for some of that song
Bob Weir answering questions reminds me of me trying to answer questions or explain things when I'm real high on LSD lmfao
Guess that's what years of drug use on the road does to ya
Takes you on a little journey 💀
Weir, while no saint, was always the cleanest and healthiest among all of them, and definitely took the least lsd of them, he was the first of them to put it aside. He really never had significant substance problems until just like 10 years ago.
@@D-Fens_1632 that's always what I've heard as well. But different things effect different people in different ways.
He's definitely a space cadet for sure lmao
Truly an admirable man, from what I can tell...
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.
🤡🌎
yeah, thats too bad. i feel the same about him.
Agree. I have nothing but respect for Bobby but Anderson Cooper is nothing but a corporate mouthpiece and a predator.
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.
Yeah it's really sad for me to see how Bobby and the boys got pulled into this Commie Globalist crowd. They used to be about Freedom and Liberty, leave me alone to find my own way home. Not wearing a f ing mask on an empty lawn because the Communist party told me too. Such a disappointment
Have either of you ever worked with the CIA or US Military Intelligence?
Sorry bob trumps not a dictator 😂
My Deadhead husband, if he were still alive, would be appalled at the very idea of Bob Weir being on a show like this. Of course he wouldn't have accepted John Mayer into the band either, so there's that. He was a purist.
🙏
i dont think most heads accept john, he can play well but he has zero coolness factor compared to Jerry.
@@yourmomma2995
True that! John Mayer seems stuck on himself.
Need to see Mayer to appreciate him and ya Jerry wouldn't be hanging around Anderson Cooper.
I wonder what he'd think of the fact that Bob Weir accompanied his daughter to her San Francisco debutante ball.
Could have called them the Grateful Checkouts
Bobby mumbles all of his answers
Like his music.
He over complicates the answers to the simplest questions.
That's his thing he absolutely is an amazing story teller I think the younger generation is to used to getting what they want as soon as they want it they lose interest almost immediately its called be obnoxiously spoiled and rude. Bobby is a true icon not your iPhone's
Bob showing his ignorance with the dictator comment. Smh
Anderson would probably even disagree with him there
Stupid question Everyone knows the Dead was on a train with Janis
President Trump is not a would be dictator.
Lol…Weir says Trump’s was a dictator 🤣…talk about mind controlled 😆
That's enough of that shit.
Bob is a weird guy.
Scripted phony horse hockey. Like most everything you see
This host is unsufferable.
Actually, now that I've watched the whole thing, poor bob seems to be getting A LOT slower with answering questions and explaining concepts and pretty simple stories. It could be due to a lot of things, old age, drug abuse on tour, or possibly even early symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer's... it just seems like he's having a lot of trouble stringing words together. But either way, I have always had a lot of respect and interest in Weir and his weirdness but I sure hope he's getting the help and care he needs as he's aging. (I'm sure he is) but either way I hope he stays around for a while. I have yet to catch a show and I'd be in heaven if I got to see anything close to the grateful dead just one time during my life...🤷♂️
No, he alwas has spoken like that, besides he´s dislexic
@@fernandobolanos1649 not THIS slow...
@@fernandobolanos1649dyslexic *
Ok, let's see you at 80 string words together. Not to mention the things weir has done. He looks fuckin amazing. Everyone need to chill.
What an obnoxious interviewer
