Phil Lesh Passed Away…

well damn...RIP Phil, thanks for the notes

Quite possibly the most unique bass player in rock'n'roll. Primary reason the Dead sounded like the Dead.

Heres my post on Facebook

RIP Phil Lesh, bass player like no other one. I saw him over 100 times. My favorite memory of him was 03-20-1986 at Hampton. Bobby steps up to the mic and says, "Here's hoping practice makes perfect" before Phil steps up to an un-noticed mic and belts out the first Box of Rain since Watkins Glen in 1973. There's a moment of stunned silence before the crowd erupts. It's the last song of the first set and at it's conclusion the crowd is all smiles. It's been 38 years since that happened and it still gives me goose bumps. Every. Single. Time.
