It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. We send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing. A reward for a life worth livin'. bobweir.net/bobby/

Released on this day ten years ago, Bobby Weir’s ‘Blue Mountain’ was inspired in part by the traditional cowboy songs he heard as a teenager working on a ranch in Wyoming. The music and stories stayed with him for decades before finding their way onto the album.

Go Niners! Bobby never missed a chance to root these guys on, so with a new NFL season kicking off, we’re throwing it back to May 10, when some of the @49ers stopped by @SphereVegas to cheer Bobby on. Photos by Chloe Weir.
61 years ago today, The Warlocks played their first show at Magoo’s Pizza Parlor.
We all sure miss you, Bobby.
