Losing Phil was crushing to me. Losing Bob feels like the end of everything. I’m so thankful I got to see both of them so many times. I never did get to see Jerry but they carried me for so many years.
Same. I always felt like I was catching the end of the story but it really hits to know it really was and there won’t be no 80something Bobby kicking around for a final iteration of the dead and his solo band.
“If you hear that same sweet song again
Will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet
Is passin' by
Laugh in the sunshine, sing
Cry in the dark, fly through the night
Don't cry now, don't you cry
Don't you cry anymore, la, la, la, la
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind, la, la, la, la”
I feel grateful I managed to take both my kids to see Bobby. The first time I saw him I was 15 and the last time I saw him I was 51 and on a mother/son night out for my birthday. Bob gave us all gifts. I had the best adolescence ever growing up on the lot. What a time to be alive. The world feels more lonely today.
Thank you Bobby. I hope you're somewhere and I hope it's marvelous, kid.
We all miss him, Bob Ace Weir was one of the best guitar players ever. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and all the people around him and all of us dead heads he will be very, very well missed.
Both Sphere runs were amazing. I was fortunate enough to attend one on the first year run. Bobby was looking good and playing and singing well. My wife wanted to know if I wanted to go to the past year run but I passed because I was worried that Bobby was in failing health.
I’m happy got 10 years of the Grateful Dead (85-95, ages 9 to 19). I’m thrilled I got an extra 30 years of Bobby and whatever iteration of the music it was.

Such a blow. Can't believe it.
Listening to Bird Song and these lyrics hit hard.

It definitely feels like the end, so sad to lose Bob but the memories will never fade away
I miss Ace for sure but I miss Jerry even more
