Bob Weir & Warren Haynes - Weir Here, TRI Studios, San Rafael, CA, 7-31-2013

Once again, I feel obliged to begin this write-up by pointing out that Bob Weir, formerly a member of the Grateful Dead, died last month. (I write this in February 2026.) I've already posted three albums celebrating his musical legacy. But when I putting the last one, which was an episode of his 2013 webcast "Weir Here," I got interested in another episode of that webcast and decided to post it too. For this one, Weir was joined by lead guitarist Warren Haynes.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about Haynes:

"Warren Haynes (born April 6, 1960) is an American musician, singer and songwriter. He is best known for his work as longtime guitarist with the Allman Brothers Band and as founding member of the jam band Gov't Mule. Early in his career he was a guitarist for David Allan Coe and The Dickey Betts Band. Haynes is also known for his associations with the surviving members of the Grateful Dead, including touring with Phil Lesh and Friends and the Dead."

Jerry Garcia, lead guitarist for the Grateful Dead, was born on August 1, 1942. So this performance took place one day before the anniversary of his birth. The episode had Garcia in mind. As a result, most of the songs were ones that were usually co-written and sung by Garcia, not Weir. Both Weir and Haynes sang lead vocals, separately and together.

Weir and Haynes were supported by a small backing band, while generally staying in acoustic mode: Jeff Chimenti on keyboards, Lincoln Schleifer on bass, Jeff Sipe on drums, and Alecia Chakour and Jasmine Muhammed on backing vocals. Some of these other band members sang lead vocals occasionally, especially on "The Weight."

Like the other "Weir Here" episode, I converted the video to audio, then cut it into mp3s. I haven't seen this circulating as an audio bootleg, but hopefully that will change now. Everything here is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent. 

Also like that other episode, there were two long discussions that took place during breaks in the middle of the performance. I made those two bonus tracks, so one can hear the music without interruption. 

This album is an hour and 20 minutes long, not including the bonus tracks.
