Bob Weir Helped Off Stage During Furthur Show [View all]

Last evening at Furthur’s Capitol Theatre show, Bob Weir fell down during the performance and was assisted off stage. The incident took place late in the second set as the band played “Unbroken Chain.” Crew members helped Weir move over to the wings and Furthur continued the song. Weir had been experiencing issues throughout the night and during “Unbroken Chain” a chair had been provided for him. Then after a brief break the show resumed, with Lesh indicating that Weir had injured his shoulder in a workout. It is believed that the guitarist took a muscle relaxant which ultimately inhibited his performance. Following his departure the group closed out the run with a pass from “Stella Blue” into “China Cat Sunflower” and then “I Know You Rider” before a “Built To Last” encore.

Hey now fellow Deadheads out there. There is a video at the above link. It does not look good. I hope that Bob Weir is ok and if there is something wrong with him that he gets well soon.

Very sad thing to watch indeed (occurred on night before last)!
