An American Weir Wolf in London (Part 1): Walking in the Grateful Dead’s London Footsteps
Manage episode 493028117 series 3669962
In this episode, I fly to London to see Bob Weir and The Wolf Bros play the Royal Albert Hall 🛫🎸—but before the show, I set out to walk in the Grateful Dead’s London footsteps.
This is Part 1 of a two-part travelogue. In this episode, I visit key spots tied to the Dead’s brief but fascinating UK history: the Roundhouse in Camden (site of their canceled 1968 shows), the legendary Lyceum Theatre (where Europe ’72 reached its peak), and more.
I wrap the night with a Dead cover band in South London 🎶🌙—proof that the spirit of the Dead is still alive across the pond.
Whether you’re a Bob Weir fan, a lifelong Deadhead, or just someone who loves music, history, and good stories, this one’s for you.
👉 Subscribe for Part 2, where I catch Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros live at the Royal Albert Hall, and meet some friends along the way.
