Second Clip From Bob Weir Interview With Dan Rather Emerges

An episode of “The Big Interview” featuring Bob Weir will air tomorrow, and AXS TV has shared a second clip ahead of the program. Hosted by Dan Rather, the new clip focuses on Weir’s unique style of rhythm guitar.

In it, Weir talks about how he was influenced by John Coltrane pianist McCoy Tyner, as there were very few rhythm guitarists playing complicated chord progressions during the early days of the Grateful Dead. He mentions Jerry Garcia’s tenacity for playing lead guitar parts, and wanted his own role in the band to be a unique one.

Enjoy the clip below:

The episode airs tomorrow, August 11th, at 11:00 PM. For another taste of the interview, you can watch the first clip released from this conversation between two iconic American figures.
