Furthur cover The Clash “Train In Vain” – and it was Bobby’s idea!

by deadheads | (~);} | Mar 26, 2011 | Bob Weir, Grateful Dead | 5 comments

Didn’t stand by me, no not at all!

Furthur surprises us again, not with The Beatles or Pink Floyd this time,
but by a song from the ONLY BAND THAT REALLY MATTERS: The Clash!

I asked around who picked this one, and word was it was Bob Weir.

And then… Dan shares this picture of Bob with Joe Strummer on our Facebook page. Too Fucking Awesome!
Anyone know where this is from? I’m guessing Jamaica in the mid 80’s..

UPDATE: as we learned from the comments below, this happened in Philly in ’84….
seems Strummer wanted to give Weir a haircut…. LOL
