Ace was the first solo album by Grateful Dead rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, released in 1972. Its origins come from an offer by the Dead's Warner Bros. Records label to have band members cut their own solo records, and it came out the same year as Jerry Garcia's Garcia and Mickey Hart's Rolling Thunder. However, in the case of Ace, Weir's backing band was the Dead itself (minus Ron "Pigpen" McKernan), and all songs except "Walk in the Sunshine" became concert staples of the Dead.

backed by the Grateful Dead, of course. In more than one number it is pleasantly obvious that the backing group is, indeed, the Grateful Dead, but Bob's vocals make this album what it is, namely an absolute delight. Whether you like Bob Weir or the Dead, you're gonna love this album, because you get a solid dose of both. You'll find several songs that are Grateful Dead standards, but that in no way detracts from this disk as a whole.

Included in this line-up were Keith Godchaux and his wife Donna, both of whom would be in the band by the time of the album's release. A live version of the album's best-known song, "Playing in the Band", had been issued on the Skull & Roses album of the previous year. While continuing to perform as a member of the Grateful Dead, in 1975 and 1976 Weir played in the Bay Area band Kingfish with friends Matt Kelly and Dave Torbert

Robert Hall "Bob" Weir (WEER; born October 16, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, most recognized as a founding member of the Grateful Dead. After the Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, Weir performed with The Other Ones, later known as The Dead, together with other former members of the Grateful Dead

Bob Weir was born on October 16, 1947. Yes and no. Ace was in the band until 1982, and recorded both of those albums, but Bob Ezrin, who produced Destroyer, brought in a session guitarist, Dick Wagner, to do some of the guitar solos on the album, reportedly due to Frehley's partying. Wagner plays the guitar solo on "Sweet Pain", and the acoustic guitar on "Beth".
