Furthur Last Night At Nokia

Recommended Posts

Wow, apparently the show last night at Nokia was NOT GOOD. Bobby apparently was "out of it" and appeared confused.

Strange.

I was not there and only saw a video on youtube where he change guitars like 4 times at the beginning of Stella Blue. Lots of comments on facebook about the show.

Yes, I took a peak over at the philzone as well and the overall review was that Bobby was not in the right state to be playing music, Phil looked worried because of this, and that JK pretty much saved the constant train-wreck that was happening.

#1 and #2 seem to conflict.

also heard it was impossible to get a ticket....no miracles, no face, one sold for $300.......wow

That would be pretty upsetting, to pay that much for a less than stellar showing.

Someone commented on deadheadland (facebook) that there was $500.00 ticket purchases for last nights show ... again , it was just a comment by someone and who knows if that's really true ... but I think the ticket sale procedure combined with demand for these 2 shows might have created a scalpers paradise ...

#1 and #2 seem to conflict.

# 1 stands true and #2 was a joke ... I hope jokes are OK ... and I fail to see how scalping tickets at exorbitantly high prices ( like I would even do that or need to ) conflicts with wishing Bobby well ...

Positive vibes to Bob Weir....

The dude had given me a bucketload of musical inspiriation over the years..

Glad I don't get critiqued as much as Bob Weir..as I certainly would not pass muster...

Lots of stones being thrown in glass houses all over the Internet about last night..

Pathetic....

I really hope so David...I've scanned a few of the videos and he is completely out of it on most of them...barely playing and often playing the wrong chords...

I also hope Bob plays a great show after this debacle, but this spectacle at the Nokia just seems like something beyond the standard bad night. I have to say that the best scenerio in my view was a bad decision with partaking in some substance (or perhaps even getting dosed by someone without his knowledge). The really bad scenerio is something that needs some medical attention like a mini stroke.. Not trying to be alarmist here, but in the 37 years since I first saw Bobby play live, I've seen my share of flubbed songs. However, I've never seen anything like the videos of the previous evening.

I seriously doubt it's a "medical" condition...His proclivity toward pills and alcohol is not a big secret...but I think he as been clean for a while now...He looked like someone who imbibed perhaps in too much booze and then maybe thought shrooms would act as some sort of pick me up...total speculation on my part but I agree those videos are disconcerting for sure...Let's hope he got some rest and a tongue lashing from Phil and Jill and will be back in the form we have seen him over the last year...Furthur will come to a screeching halt if Weir starts boozing again...

Oh no......quick......take Eaton to a secure location!

:lol: for sure ...

LOL!!!!

I actually was going to post something very similar to that when I first heard about the Bobby meltdown, but thought better of it and didn't..

I know what you mean my brother , but every now and then you gotta take one for the team and suffer through the ensuing wrath ... ;)
