Rest in Peace and Power Phil! I am very grateful to have seen Phil Lesh with the Grateful Dead back in 95’. I never danced like that at a concert! I grew up with Anthem of The Sun and Amoxoaoxoa in my Uncle Bill’s vinyl collection and remember how it expanded my concept of musical adventures in inner landscapes and pure expressive freedom that I value today. Later, Phil and Friends moved me deeply at his club Terrapin Crossroads where I also co-hosted some holiday work parties with his family ☮️🙏🏽💜~
