Robert Hall Weir (October 16, 1947–) is an American guitar player, most recognized as a founding member of the Grateful Dead. He played guitar and sang vocals throughout their entire 30-year career. Weir also took part in a Bay area endeavour in 1975, with friends Matt Kelly and Dave Torbert, called Kingfish. He is renowned for his skill on rhythm guitar and vocals. He is perhaps most recognizable for his lead vocals on the Grateful Dead song "Truckin'," released on the 1970 Grateful Dead album "American Beauty."Weir was born in San Francisco, CA and raised by his adoptive parents in the suburb of Atherton. He began playing guitar at age thirteen after less successful experimenting with the piano and the trumpet. He had trouble in school because of undiagnosed dyslexia and was expelled from nearly every school he attended. One of the many schools he attended was Fountain Valley School in Colorado, where he befriended John Perry Barlow, who would become one of the two main lyricists for the Grateful Dead (along with Robert Hunter).On New Year's Eve, 1963, 16-year-old Weir and another underage friend were wandering the back alleys of Palo Alto, looking for a club that would admit them, when they heard banjo music. They followed the music to its source, "Dana Morgan's Music Store," where a young Jerry Garcia, oblivious to the date, was waiting on his students to arrive. Weir and Garcia spent the night playing music together and then decided to form a band. The band they formed was Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, which became the Warlocks, and then the Grateful Dead.In the Grateful Dead, he played rhythm guitar and also split vocals with Jerry Garcia. In the late 70's, he began to experiment with slide guitar techniques, and to this day plays a mixture of classic blues slide but with his own rhythmic sensibility. His unique guitar style is strongly influenced by the hard bop pianist McCoy Tyner and he has cited artists as diverse as John Coltrane, the Rev. Gary Davis and Igor Stravinsky as influences.Shortly before Garcia's death in 1995, Weir formed another band, "Ratdog Revue," later shortened to Ratdog, which is now his primary band. As of May 11, 2006, Weir had performed approximately 500 shows with Ratdog. In 1998, Weir joined forces with other former members of the Grateful Dead (Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart) to tour as "The Other Ones." In 2000, Weir toured with Hart, and original Grateful Dead drummer Billy Kreutzmann, but not Phil Lesh, to once again tour as "The Other Ones." In 2002, a similar conglomeration of musicians consisting of Weir, Lesh, Hart, and Kreutzmann, aided and abetted by other musicians, dropped the "The Other Ones" name and billed themselves as "The Dead."Known for his raspy, deeper tone, Weir sings covers by Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry and Willie Dixon while also performing many of his own songs
