“The night was still young, but already stirring with anticipation as the Grateful Dead tribute band took the stage to test their equipment. Right behind them, a familiar, smoky-haired veteran of the San Francisco music scene followed suit. He got hold of his trusty guitar and led the band through “West L.A. Fadeaway” until everything connected. The man was none other than Bob Weir-core member and rhythm guitarist of the original Grateful Dead. In collaboration with the Jerry Garcia Foundation and Hard Rock International, the Imagine There’s No Hunger benefit concert helped to shed light on the seriousness of world hunger and raise money for Yoko Ono’s Why Hunger campaign (www.WhyHunger.org). It also brought Weir and the band together for the first time under one roof amid a bulging sellout crowd.” - Marc Lovely
