Long long time to be gone….

Yeah, bummer. Glad I caught a show a year or so ago. Thanks for everything!

Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun.

hell of a run, played to the end

Glad that I got to see him play (twice) last year.

Gained elevation to drop higher bombs. RIP

Yes, it's me, I'm the Pride of Cucamonga
I can see golden forests in the sun
Oh, oh I had me some loving
And I done some time

[EWG]

Will miss the bombs forever.

Sad day indeed. He was one of the good ones.

Today we lost a brother. Our hearts and love go out to Jill Lesh, Brian and Grahame. Phil Lesh was irreplaceable. In one note from the Phil Zone, you could hear and feel the world being born. His bass flowed like a river would flow. It went where the muse took it. He was an explorer of inner and outer space who just happened to play bass. He was a circumnavigator of formerly unknown musical worlds. And more.

We can count on the fingers of one hand the people we can say had as profound an influence on our development – in every sense. And there have been even less people who did so continuously over the decades and will continue to for as long as we live. What a gift he was for us. We won’t say he will be missed, as in any given moment, nothing we do will be without the lessons he taught us – and the lessons that are yet to come, as the conversations will go on.

Phil loved the Dead Heads and always kept them in his heart and mind. The thing is… Phil was so much more than a virtuoso bass player, a composer, a family man, a cultural icon…

There will be a lot of tributes, and they will all say important things. But for us, we’ve spent a lifetime making music with Phil Lesh and the music has a way of saying it all. So listen to the Grateful Dead and, in that way, we’ll all take a little bit of Phil with us, forever.

For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago….

– Mickey, Billy and Bobby

This is a really good mastering/remastering and Phil’s levels are great

Jerry solos always have my head, but Phil baselines always have my hips. Free your ass and your mind will follow…

But is there a dog chewy toy for Buffalo?

Let's see...I love the Grateful Dead, I love MC Taylor/Hiss Golden Messenger, and I love Bertha. I'm sorry I couldn't get to D.C. to see this live.

Billy keeping it (un)real… “Glad I snuck in my vape”

Weed is legal in DC, so grandpa isn’t as edgy as he thinks.

That being said, shows in DC were always just sketchy enough to add a little extra excitement. Camping out at Greenbelt Park felt like true wilderness compared to RFK and the surrounding neighborhood.

Not sure if bill graham would be turning in his grave or turn onto his back, putting his hands behind his skull, and smile
