Remembering Grateful Dead legend Bob Weir, whose musical path crossed with The Band for decades. From the legendary rails of the 1970 Festival Express tour to the massive crowd at the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen in 1973, they shared some incredible moments in rock history. In this clip from the 2011 Gathering of the Vibes festival, Weir performs a rousing version of “Deep Elem Blues” alongside The Levon Helm Band. Rest In Peace. 🕊️ | THE BAND
