Yet in an interview with Dan Rather on AXS TV Series' The Big Interview, founding member Bob Weir revealed that the only Grateful Dead song he wanted played at his funeral was the band's 1972 song, "Cassidy" (via Rolling Stone).
At one point during their interview together, Rather asked Weir what he hopes he'll be remembered for when he passes away. Instead of naming a specific song, Weir instead said he'd like to be associated with any positive memories listeners have attached to any of his or his band's songs.
The musician continued on by pointing to to the song "Cassidy" as the song he'd like played at his memorial service, quoting the lyrics to the popular '70s tune: “I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream. I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream. Ah, child of countless trees. Ah, child of boundless seas. What you are, what you’re meant to be. Speaks his name, though you were born to me. Cassidy.”
On January 10, 2026, the musician passed away from underlying lung issues at the age of 78.
