The Other One : The Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir (2014)

Made for Netflix , released May 22 , 2015 in the US.
Filming location(s) unknown.
The story : Bob Weir , now living in his home in Marin County which he bought in 1972 , begins to tell us some things about himself....and of the long strange , trip his life surely has been.
Bob Weir met Jerry Garcia in Palo Alto, California in 1965.
The two were instant friends as well as band mates.
They grouped a band and began playing free shows in the streets.
Then they played shows in strip clubs.
They lived together , with the rest of the band , in a house on Ashbury Street.
This brought the band closer together and Bob accepted them as his family.
Soon , the band was experimenting with LSD and finding their music was having quite the effect on their fans.
No longer starving artists , the band traveled far and wide just for the music.
Bob and Jerry's sound being one which complemented each others was quite unique.
Unique...which helped make them legend.
