As we reported earlier, Furthur guitarist Bob Weir was unable to finish last night’s Capitol Theatre residency finale after he fell on stage during Unbroken Chain and had to be helped to a chair to conclude the tune. He left the stage with his band mates after Unbroken Chain and the rest of Furthur came back minutes later to finish the second set.
None of Bobby’s Furthur band mates stopped playing while this was all going down. The group’s other guitarist, John Kadlecik, weighed in on the situation via Facebook…
“1st reaction: holy shit, man down!
Then, I see several crew racing to help, going to be by his side faster than I can put my guitar down…
Next thought: what is Phil going to do? He’s playing on… Bobby had help at this point, so the next person in need of support was Phil…
Pretty f*d up moment… but Bobby wanted to finish the show!
Sometimes the rock n roll life is not all rainbows & fairy dust…”
There’s been no official word from Furthur on Bobby’s health as of press time.
