Esau. Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Its on both Canadian and American netflix. https://www.relix.com/blogs/detail/watch_official_trailer_for_the_other_one_the_long_strange_trip_of_bob_weir The Other One: The Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir will hit Netflix on May 22 and now, the official trailer has arrived. The Mike Fleiss-directed documentary traces Weir's life journey from Palo Alto, CA to rising to stardom with the Grateful Dead as a 16-year old, all with commentary from the guitarist himself along the way. Among those slated to appear in the film are Weir's Grateful Dead bandmates, other musical collaborators and acquaintances. In the trailer, Weir also speaks about his connection with Jerry Garcia, saying, "They say blood is thicker than water. What we had was thicker than blood." Sammy Hagar also has an interesting quote on Weir, saying, "If you don't have an ego, you can be the best number two on the planet and that's kinda what Bob became. It makes him special." Watch the full trailer below and watch the film on May 22 on Netflix. bouche and Davey Boy 2.0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Watched it this afternoon. Pretty good watch, Bob's quite candid. I learned some things about him I didn't know. Worth checking out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Kudos Phorbesie, whether intentional or not, you momentarily trolled me. (or I trolled myself perhaps.. ) When I first saw your post I immediately took it as it was a short film. ie: Not long in length, not much to tell etc. I then prepared a rebuttal mentioning the length of a Phish doc. After I posted - I got it. Anyway, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I enjoyed it. It came off as a promotional piece at times, but it was a pretty entertaining retrospective and I agree about Bob being pretty candid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 That was a very well done documentary. Focusing on he and Jerry's relationship was a good idea, but it made it feel like he had no relationship with Phil and those other guys. I also noted that when Bobby was talking about Jer's heroin resurgence, included in one of the graphics was Brent Midland. I expected some other reference made to other members or even other musician friends with drug issues, not just Jerry. Then again, this doc wasn't about jerry or drugs. I had no idea he'd tracked down his folks and is buds with his bio dad. Was that ever big news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Was buds. The film is dedicated to his memory. oh yeah. Was looking into it after and saw that he passed away this year. Amazing that they connected and had a relationship for the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
