Bob Weir was born in the 1947. He was adopted by a California engineer, who was very well-off, in the suburb of Atherton. Due to undiagnosed dyslexia, he was expelled from the schools he attended. At the age of thirteen, after trying his hand at piano and trumpet, he started playing guitar. He came into contact with musicians like Jerry Garcia, New Riders on the Purple Sage founder David Nelson, and Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen. While he was in Fountain Valley School in Colarado, he was acquainted with John Perry Barlow and Robert Hunter, who later became the two main lyricists for the Grateful Dead.
It was in the year 1963, on a New Year's Eve, when Weir and his friend was walking in the back alleys of Palo Alto when they heard banjo music. So fascinated was Weir with the music that he started looking looking for the club that was playing the music. They then followed the music to its source. It was Dana Morgan's Music Store. Here he met a young man named Jerry Garcia, oblivious to the date was actually waiting for his students to arrive. Weir met Gracia and then they spent the whole night playing music together. They struck a chord together and then there they decided to form a band. First they named their band as Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions. Then they named it The Warlocks and later named it as the Grateful Dead.
