Bob Weir’s busy year will continue in June. In addition to shows with Furthur, work with his TRI studios and preparations for a solo tour, Weir will play a special benefit for the Japan dolphins at San Rafael CA’s Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center on June 21. The benefit will feature a screening of the documentary The Cove, a discussion with filmmakers Ric O’Barry and Louie Psihoyos and the above mentioned Weir performance.

The Cove “tells the amazing true story of an elite team of activists, filmmakers and free divers, including O’Barry and Psihoyos, who embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan, shining light on a dark and deadly secret.” Behind the scenes footage from Weir’s recent TRI studios performance is now available online.
