RIP Phil Lesh

[blixet]

Innovative bass player for The Dead. Saw them so many times. He wove the jams like nobody else.

But just how grateful is he now??

Out on the mountain
It'll drive you insane
Listenin' to the wind
Howl!

Never was a Dead fan except Touch of Grey - which, since I love it, means Dead Heads must hate it!

But I appreciate Phil Lesh immensely. RIP dude. You made an impact.

He had friends!

Wow! Thanks for that. Two great Dead songs that soar live and grab you by the soul and take you on a trip. Fortunate to have heard both live. The Dead were beyond something else.

Steal the face right off your head.

I tried. I really tried. I fail to find much cohesion in the music. Just sounds like a bunch of relatively random notes to me. I guess I'm not a jam band kind of guy, although I do love Goose. I also don't like unstructured jazz. I have music that stirs my soul and brings me to all kinds of places emotionally - so if The Dead does this for you, that's awesome. Two of my very best friends are quite the Grateful Dead fans as well, although one just passed away in July.

Fun fact - the Goose lead singer and guitarist is the guy on the freeze frame on post #5 above.

I never got into the dead until my freshman year at UCSC. I remember talking to my dad on the phone and saying “Dad, Grateful Dead are really f@cking good!” And he just goes, “Yeah, I know that. Check out steely Dan if you like the dead.”

Enjoyed that!
