Phil Lesh

I had been focused on Phil’s sound and notes and playing all afternoon on Friday w/ some ‘71 and some ‘78 from the new boxset. I even conversed to the wife about his notes while listening and cleaning house. Then she gives me the news of his passing… The synchronicity, my mental attachment to him already that day, made the news a very surreal moment. I’ll remember this as being just as profound as what we were doing the moment we found out Jerry had passed. 
so many emotions
RIP Phil 

Fare the well Reddy Kilowatt. We'll miss you more than words can tell.

Sad day. Grateful I had the chance to see him play 200+ times. His bass playing on Eyes of the World always mesmerizes me. 

RIP Cody's liver.

I’m not a concert going kind of Deadhead…only saw them once, at Watkins Glen…but I love their records, and Workingman’s, American Beauty, and Blues For Allah are my faves.  Side 1 on BFA is genius level musicianship, and Phil was a big reason it.  He gave the band a lot of what made it great…a bassist with a rare melodic sense and ear.
