Weir ISO guitar recording 8/19/89 Greek

Sorry if this has been posted before. Here is the back story from the guy that posted it on YouTube

Thanks to Charlie Miller and his vast connections and immense generosity this little gem has come to light. Apparently Bobby was trouble shooting his guitar rig and had his guitar recorded separately for the three nights at the Greek by Don Pearson. This final performance was leaked in one way or another. Being the total A/V nerd that I am I insisted upon syncing the entire recording to the existing video recording of this performance courtesy of Lazy Cow. The shared recording was ever so slightly sharp in pitch. About 50 cent (half semitone). I corrected for this and manipulated the timing to sync to the video. I also left the slightest amount of the original audio in the mix. I think it makes it that much easier to follow along. It's over 30 VU lower. There are a couple of tape flips and two tiny gaps with no Bobby audio that I trimmed out. This is really meant for die hard deadheads, Bobby fans, guitar players, and other curious folk. Don't forget to share, like, and of course subscribe to my channel. Some good stuff on here. You just gotta poke around! Enjoy! Also just to note. This was surprisingly (not surprisingly) matched to some other version of a dead show and flagged as copyright. If any ads run it is NOT from me.

I seem to recall this not being as interesting as it sounds.  That is, it doesn't sound as ... Eh, you get it.

The concept and execution of Bob Weir is fascinating. A true original.

A lot of times, one might think he's just tuning his guitar during songs.

He does sound great on Memphis Blues (around the 52 minute mark). 

 

I'd rather watch The Irishman 

WTF

You gotta be one touched mutherfucker just to listen to this, let alone enjoy it.

I love it

I know folks that hate Infrared Roses, that's another one I really love.

I love Weir's unique guitar playing, but listen to his playing here verses October 1974, and its amazing how different his playing really is. He's literally phoning in a minimal amount of guitar work, its sloppy at best, and kinda embarrasing, on most these tunes, even on a fairly acceptable show. Pretty harsh listening, and I appreciate Weir's contributions in general. But uggh
