Hey now

I’m out of town for the weekend and almost slipped my mind to post my Friday meme

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

[Jerry Garcia @jerrygarcia]

Out of the 130+ times Jerry played The Warfield, these three nights in early ’91 might be the most loose, lively, and joy-filled of them all. With performances like these, it’s easy to see how The Warfield cemented its place in the hearts and minds of Garcia and the greater Deadhead community. Live at The Warfield is your ticket back. Lock in your pre-order so you’re all set when the collection hits on August 15th! 🌟

[Bill Kreutzmann @BKreutzmann]

Phil Lesh was my brother. Not by blood but still by family. I’ve heard so many of you tell me that the Grateful Dead changed your life. Yeah, well… Phil Lesh changed mine.

Thank you Phil. I’ll miss you, darn it.

[Grateful Dead @GratefulDead]

Today we lost a brother. Our hearts and love go out to Jill Lesh, Brian and Grahame. Phil Lesh was irreplaceable. In one note from the Phil Zone, you could hear and feel the world being born. His bass flowed like a river would flow. It went where the muse took it. He was an explorer of inner and outer space who just happened to play bass. He was a circumnavigator of formerly unknown musical worlds. And more.

We can count on the fingers of one hand the people we can say had as profound an influence on our development - in every sense. And there have been even less people who did so continuously over the decades and will continue to for as long as we live. What a gift he was for us. We won’t say he will be missed, as in any given moment, nothing we do will be without the lessons he taught us - and the lessons that are yet to come, as the conversations will go on.

Phil loved the Dead Heads and always kept them in his heart and mind. The thing is… Phil was so much more than a virtuoso bass player, a composer, a family man, a cultural icon...

There will be a lot of tributes, and they will all say important things. But for us, we’ve spent a lifetime making music with Phil Lesh and the music has a way of saying it all. So listen to the Grateful Dead and, in that way, we’ll all take a little bit of Phil with us, forever.

For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago….

[Jeff Weiss @Passionweiss]

RIP Phil Lesh, the cerebral, avant-garde, post-Beat genius who took the Dead's sound far beyond psych-blues and folk into weird empyrean realms of free jazz & classical. He could play the bass like a heartbeat or a tidal wave, searching for new but timeless sounds eternally.

[Music Never Stopped @musicplayedband]

RIP Phil Lesh. Truly heartbreaking. We’ve loved this band and man for most of our lives. 💜

Much love to everyone 🙏🏼
