For 30 years, Phil Lesh stood on the opposite side of the stage form Jerry Garcia, the 2 end points in the base of a triangle with Bob Weir out front. If Garcia's guitar pointed the way as the Dead segued from song to jam to song, Phil's bass was right there with him, helping lead the band unlike any other bass player had ever done, Yet if Phil's playing was often out front, he rarely took that role on stage. Yes, he occasionally took a lead vocal, but he hardly seemed like the type to lead a band. Yet, in the wake of Jerry death, that's exactly what Phil did. In 1998, he began playing under the moniker Phil Lesh and Friends. Over the years, those friends have included a virtual who’s who or rock and roll, including Jorma Kaukonen, Trey Anastasio, John Molo, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Joan Osborne, Derek Trucks, and Susan Tedeschi, just to name a few. This excellent audience recording captures Phil & Friends at the Lockin' Festival on August 27, 2016, 9 years ago today.
