Bobby Talks About Phil

Bob Weir (on Phil): "Decades of playing together led us to learn how to intuit each other and know where each other is going. I could get to wherever Phil was going and be there with a little surprise for him. And he could it for me. And these things can happen in such intuitive ways that it's just fun. We wanted to take that and run." 

An excerpt from the March Guitar World interview with BobWeir and John Kadlecik

Friday the 13th is Free

Bob Weir and friends will perform at Bobby's new studio this Friday. The show will stream live video and it's free! We have talked about this kind of thing for the last year on Shakedown Stream on mvyradio.com. I am not bragging that I am soothsayer, but, I believe this has potential for many cool things to come. Also, we will not have to drive in our fossil fuel burning cars to see a show anymore. What an auspicious night it will be.

Episode #125 & Bobby in Boston

This week's Shakedown Stream was pretty damn good. That may be because the featured show was from Rotterdam (click image for setlist)- a city in The Netherlands where dams are necessary and everywhere. Some Streamers said that this show had the longest Dark Star, but I am not so sure that is the case. 


Even though Shakedown Stream continues to grow  throughout the US and internationally, we here on Martha's Vineyard - the island home of mvyradio.com - are always pleased when a member of the Grateful Dead comes to Boston. Bob Weir performed at a fundraiser for the Perkins School for the Blind (Boston Globe article) and then later on that day sang the national anthem for the Boston Celtics (youtube).
