NEW DVD/BLU-RAY: GET SLIGHTLY STOOPID WITH BOB WEIR AND OTHERS

slightly stoopidPREVIEW/BUY THE DVD/CD HERE

In 2011, Slightly Stoopid was invited by the Grateful Dead and Furthur’s Bob Weir into his state of the art TRI Studios and brought down some of their close friends, family, and musical guests for an unprecedented live webcast and in-studio performance. Their good friend Tommy Chong hosted the event and provided some “Wisdom.” Their extended family of musical guests joining and playing on the session included Karl Denson, Ivan and Ian Neville of Dumpstaphunk, Don Carlos, and Bob Weir himself!

The result is a 31-song/2-set acoustic and electric performance including behind the scenes rehearsal footage and a rare interview segment moderated by Tommy Chong & Bob Weir.

Last but not least, a portion of all proceeds will benefit two charitable organizations whom the band supports: Save the Children and World Food Programme.
