Grateful Dead Legend Bob Weir Collapses On Stage
. To quote the Dead's own song, the music never stopped. The band played on as Weir fell down during a performance of the Dead's "Unbroken Chain." In a YouTube video, Weir collapses about 55 seconds in. The band's roadies helped him get back up and gave him a chair to sit on to finish the song. Furthur was playing the ninth and final show of a residency at the Capitol, a venue where the Grateful Dead performed during their heyday. Jambase cited reports that Weir had been struggling throughout the show, both on vocals and guitar. Weir left after "Unbroken Chain," with Lesh explaining to the crowd that Weir had suffered a strained shoulder earlier in the day and the band would be finishing the second set without him. Furthur's next scheduled gig is Saturday night (April 27) at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. See the video here Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
