Tamalpais Research Institute, also known as TRI Studios, is a virtual music venue in San Rafael, California. It is the brainchild of Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, currently of Dead & Company as well as Bob Weir and Wolf Bros. TRI is a state-of-the-art multimedia performance studio, designed for broadcasting live high definition (HD) video and audio streams directly over the internet.[1][2]

Furthur

[edit]

On Tuesday, June 7, 2011, Furthur performed live at Tamalpais Research Institute.[3] The event, billed as "Furthur Experiments at TRI", was broadcast in real time over the internet in HD video with stereo sound and was available to those who ordered the pay-per-view event for $19.95. The performance included 13 songs (counting Terrapin Suite as one song), had no break, and lasted about two-and-a-half hours, beginning 6:00PM PDT. The performance was also simulcast for free in New York's Brooklyn Bowl ("BOWLcast"). While the performance was well received by fans, several had trouble viewing the event due to technical difficulties related to server/website load balancing software (subsequently corrected).[4] As a result, TRI Studios rebroadcast the entire concert as a continuous loop stream from June 10, 2011, at 12:00 Noon until June 12, 2011, at 6:00 PM PDT, and made it accessible to those who had originally paid for the event.[5]

Other bands and crew

[edit]

Bob Weir plans to regularly host and broadcast performances by various musicians at TRI.

Prior to the Furthur webcast, TRI Studios has been used for rehearsal sessions by Journey in February 2011, Scaring the Children (featuring Bob Weir, Rob Wasserman and Jay Lane) with Jackie Greene in April 2011, and for the First Fusion collaboration between Bob Weir and the Marin Symphony, which premiered on May 7, 2011, at the Marin Center.

The first webcast from TRI, which was free, occurred on Friday, May 13, 2011, and was appropriately dubbed "TRIday the 13th with Bob Weir and Friends", featuring Bob Weir, Jay Lane, Jeff Chimenti, Rob Wasserman, Steve Kimock, Robin Sylvester, and a four-piece horn section (Marco D'Ambrosio and Jim Radseth on trumpet, Art Austin on clarinet, and Zach Spellman on tuba).[6]

The second pay-per-view event, which cost $10, featured Slightly Stoopid and was broadcast on September 13, 2011[7] (with free rebroadcast from September 17, 2011, at 6 :00 PM until September 18, 2011, at 6:00 PM PDT, as well as a full refund to those who purchased the event, to compensate for technical difficulties during the live broadcast), and featured special guests Bob Weir, Ivan Neville and Ian Neville (of Dumpstaphunk), Karl D of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, and Don Carlos Reggae.[8][9][10]

Following this, a free webcast was broadcast, featuring Chickenfoot, billed as "Chickenfoot Presents III", on the release date of their album, Chickenfoot III, on September 27, 2011, at 6:00 PM PDT (free rebroadcast September 28, 2011, at 12:00 PDT).[11]

On October 18, 19 and 20, 2011, The Fall Risk rehearsed and recorded at TRI, but did not webcast, and intend to release video of the sessions.[12]

On October 21 at 7:00 PM PDT, during their annual three-day "Communion in the Redwoods" gathering in Big Sur, CA, Communion artists Matthew and the Atlas, The David Mayfield Parade, and Lauren Shera performed a free live webcast from TRI (rebroadcast on October 22 at 12:00 PM PDT).[13]
