- Heaven Help The Fool — Bob Weir

The record, which peaked at number 69 on the Billboard charts, received mixed reviews at the time, with some fans finding the polished production a departure from the band's typical style. Despite limited live performances of the material by the Grateful Dead, Weir has kept several songs in his solo repertoire, including during his time with RatDog and Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros.

Released on January 13, 1978, during a Grateful Dead hiatus, Bob Weir's Heaven Help the Fool stands out for its polished "L.A. studio rock" sound, a departure from his previous work, which was produced by Keith Olsen. The album featured elite session musicians and mixed original tracks, often co-written with John Perry Barlow, with cover songs, resulting in a distinct, more commercial sound.
