At the core of the Grateful Dead was a strong friendship between guitarists Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir. The two were essentially brothers, spending thirty years on the road together with the Dead. With that fundamental relationship in place, the band prospered, allowing the two to have the freedom to work with, and off of, one another.
In this great clip of a “Terrapin Station,” you can clearly see this playful bond in the spotlight. As Weir is known for his gesticulations during guitar playing, Garcia looks over and copies his motions during a climactic section of the classic tune.
If you haven’t seen this video yet, it’s worth the thirty seconds of your time. Enjoy!
