Deadhead alert: Watch the trailer for new Netflix film on Grateful Dead

New original documentary The Other One: The Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir will premiere on the streaming service on May 22nd


Marking the 50th year anniversary of Grateful Dead, Netflix has released the trailer for new documentary The Other One: The Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir. The documentary will tell the story of one world's most influential bands, focusing especially on the relationship between bandmates Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia.

Recently, the band announced new shows for 2015. Also this week, their continued cultural relevance was confirmed when Game of Thrones author George RR Martin admitted that Grateful Dead were a huge influence on him - apparently the Weirwood trees in the series are named after guitarist Bob Weir.

Directed by Mike Fleiss, best known for his 2011 portrait of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, The Other One: The Long Strange Trip of Bob Weir premiered to huge acclaim at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. Here's the trailer...
