I just have to say how happy I was to see Bob playing in so many spots. He looked great, his voice was in top form and I don't think I've ever heard his guitar that high in the mix. From terrapin station set, songs with JRAD, phil.moe (that should have been bob.moe) to the Avetts set (which should have been Bob Weir with the Avetts). I thought that he completely saved the phil.moe set and was by far the highlight of the Avett set. I've never heard The Race is On live by anyone so to hear him play it was heaven. Love Masterpiece, just pure joy then for me, practically in tears. Closing show with I Shall Be Released I was overcome with emotion by then. In my opinion he was the superstar of the festival, but I may be slightly partial.

As far as him being undependable, that is behind him. Hell i was pretty undependable for quite some time but I fixed it. I just want to see full sets with him next year be it with DeadCO, Ratdog or whatever. Damnit he's earned it. These are my opinions YMMV...

I don't know if the Dead & Co. stuff over the last year has revitalized him or what, but I also thought he sounded good and looked great. He really was the MVP this year. I thoroughly enjoyed every appearance he made.

I'd love Dead Co. And Rat-dog, Bob's been can good to Lockn and he kind of gets the Keller treatment. I don't get it because he's ya know Bobby Fuckin Weir. Also please bring back Bill, I think his music stays alive and evolving too.

I'd be fine if the only Dead music at Lockn' was JRAD, Billy & The Kids, and Bobby

It was great to see so much Bob Weir, as I hadn't seen him live before at all. However (I might get shot for saying this) to me it was too much. Most times when he was sitting in the music slowed down and a lot of random guitar sounds would be going on, or there just would be empty space where he was apparently playing but you could barely hear it. When he and Phil were playing together it felt like a competition to see who could play at the lowest volume.
I think his songs with the Avett Bros were the highlight of all his stuff this weekend, and I did really enjoy that set. That was an instance where you could hear his guitar well and he was making coherent sounds. It was also a set that really showed off his voice, which to me is definitely his strength. Masterpiece was amazing.

I've been to many many Dead shows where I wondered if his guitar was even plugged in so I get what you're saying. Was nice to hear when he was turned up in the mix. Yes, Masterpiece was amazing...

It was really great seeing Bob there, he was in rare form the whole time. That rockn' One More Saturday Night with JRAD absolutely brought down the house! My son was so excited "I've never heard the Bob Weir scream live before!!"

I was kind of hoping to hear him play some of his new cowboy songs, I thought he would do a couple with the Avetts, but it was not to be. But he still exceeded all expectations!

We stayed with JRAD as long as we could. Didn't see Bobby do Scarlet. But we did catch his hip hop version of Me and My Uncle. Gentleman on the turntable was billed as DJ Jerrbrother. He was clearly having fun. This was such a surreal experience we couldn't settle down and wound up heading back to catch the rest of JRAD.

I hate to be the lone dissenting voice ---and I do think that Bob looked and sounded better than he has recently ---but I have never seen a more uncomfotable guitar player than Bobby during the Avett brothers set. He couldn't (and probably shouldn't!) play a lead to save his life. I felt VERY bad for him -and they just kept sending him leads .....

Got to agree. Bob is many things but "lead" guitarist isn't really one of them.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?
