Phil & Friends Fine Tuning at Sweetwater
On Sunday (September 26th), Phil Lesh & Friends finished 5 nights of public dress rehearsals at the Sweetwater Station in Larkspur, California. Phil wanted to play in front of a live crowd before kicking off an east coast swing. All 5 shows were sold by word of mouth - and tickets for the venue (capacity 150) were gone in a flash. Lesh was backed by bandmates Larry Campbell, Jackie Greene, Steve Molitz and John Molo. Barry Sless and Teresa Williams were also in the mix.
The setlists featured Grateful Dead nuggets like "Terrapin Station," "Alabama Getaway," and "West L.A. Fadeaway," along with Lesh's cover of Ryan Adams' "Let it Ride."
Last night (September 30th), Phil & Friends opened a series of east coast shows with the Allman Brothers Band at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

"...P&F should hire the Allman's mix man, and camera men. Those guys did a great job for the Brothers...."
Phil should find someone who isn't hamstrung by the ghost of Jerry. Warren, perhaps? Someone who isn't afraid to DO SOMETHING with these tunes.
Hire the guy from DSO.
How about Henry Kaiser?

Phil, Bobby and the Boyz!
I used to tour GD in the nineties and had the time of my life. I've never really felt the need to go to anymore shows since Jerry passed. When I read blogs about critism about Bobby and Phil it makes me cringe! If you want to whine about how times aren't the same or that the shows are slow...... the boys r gettin' old! Don't go to shows anymore!
For the people that still enjoy it and go... all the best to you and enjoy! Just be happy they're still out there playin!
