He was a founding member of the Grateful Dead.
The Dead broke up after Jerry died. He made many other bands, often with former Dead members.

I've been to several of his shows.

"The Dead performed “Sugar Magnolia” more than 600 times, and with good reason. Co-written with longtime Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, it’s a sunny tribute that Weir penned for his girlfriend Frankie, whom he lived with in the early Seventies. (“Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double/Pays my ticket when I speed” — man, this woman was a saint.) "
 
Mean song, and Weir sang it well.
