Netflix has rolled out an official trailer for The Other One: The Long, Strange Trip of Bob Weir, the new documentary that profiles the life of the founding Grateful Dead singer/guitarist that will premiere on the network on May 22.

The promo, which is viewable now on YouTube, features a montage of photos, archival footage and interview clips, accompanied by segments of classic Grateful Dead songs like “Shakedown Street” and “Ripple.”  At one point in the video, Bob Weir says, “I was a 16 year old kid when I joined the Grateful Dead.  It was such an amazing adventure.  The music was an adventure.  The people were an adventurous group.  It was impossibly…fun.”

The trailer also includes a clip of Sammy Hagar, who says of Weir, “If you don’t have an ego, you can be the best number-two on the planet.  And that’s kind of what Bob became.  It makes him special.”

In addition, the video features Weir commenting about his relationship with late Dead frontman Jerry Garcia.  “We had a very strong bond,” Bob notes.  “They say that blood is thicker than water.  What we had was thicker than blood.”

The Other One premiered in April 2014 at New York City’s Tribeca Film Festival.  In addition to conversations with Weir and Hagar, the movie features new interviews with The Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart andBill Kreutzmann; various family members; such other musicians as Bruce Hornsby and Phish’s Mike Gordon.  The Other One was directed by Mike Fleiss, whose resume also includes the 2011 documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne and the popular reality show The Bachelor.
