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

Genre: Documentary

Directed by: Mike Fleiss

Cast: Bob Weir, Trixie Garcia, Mike Gordon, Sammy Hagar

Running time: 85 minutes

This rock documentary takes a deep look at the life & times of The Grateful Dead, through the eyes of one of its founding and surviving members, Bob Weir. We are taken through the youth and early days of the man who was known to many as the good looking one in the band. He was most certainly a creative force for the group, and he is still going strong today.

I have never been a diehard fan of The Grateful Dead – or Deadhead, if you will – but I most certainly enjoyed learning more about that band who managed to cultivate quite a cult following through the years. I have always loved to hear about music and the people who create it, so, in that sense; this was very pleasant for me. It remains a documentary that was really well done.
