Kim h. That's a beautiful observation that iam also very shure about Jerry's angels I met bob and jerry in reno when my brother opened the show at a big place named kings castle it was really inspiring I was getting confident on guitar but at 15 I was very shy bob was nice and invitingly asked me cause he knew I was with my big brothers band and couldn't find his room with was right across from there hallway of big rooms Bob's band he had on the side was called kingfish good band david tourburt from new riders of the purple sage so in walks jerry I got asked to jam I took my guitar everywhere no b.s. thay were so kind to me I had long long hair at 15 but I was so nervous then jerry said heay man that was really good you followed the changes so well I was like thanks he said we just wrote that so it was a thing that kept me at it such nice guys to me. I ll never forget him n bob

This evokes Garcia’s sentiment about people playing their music “Don’t copy me/us, play it the way it sounds and feels to you”. Which is a way of letting the songs take on their own life, just as they did with the Dead. Actually part of the secret sauce to all of this. A truly beautiful “Birdsong”

Yes, a thing bass players never took from Phil is the extreme presence in the mix. We live in a musical culture where bass must be well far off behind because... well, I don't know, reasons? Since he never started as a bass player he never took that aspect and showed the world what bass can do, and honestly, I can't think of another way to enjoy bass. Not even Oteil from D&C ever understood this concept, however, this guy is a fucking beast.

Oh, there are so many bad Dead cover acts. It’s a weird set of shoes to fill. With mini generations and true generations of fans (I’ve seen grandparents with grand kids at post Dead member project shows), that’s a lot of varied expectations to (hopefully) meet. Dark Star Orchestra, with an “even the wrong notes and words” ethos was one set...live performance of a historical moment, no changes. I personally like hearing the bands and artists who take a song and bring it along into the future, while honoring its past. I’m wondering what happens when tunes achieve some immortality.

I think many who aren’t even fans acknowledge them as an important band.

Sublime, ethereal, mesmerizing, Beautiful, subtle and divine. I didn’t think anyone would ever match the Branford Marsalis versions he did with the dead but this is on the same level as that. I hesitate to say that one is better than the other because they are both so amazing. Branford playing with the dead on Birdsong was and still is one of the best Grateful Dead live songs ever. To say that this band’s version is on the same level as that is tremendous praise to give to it. As I was listening to it, it reminded me how Plato said that the three main qualities of God are the good, the true and the beautiful… And this version was absolutely beautiful.

I truly think Phil Lesh is a very underrated bassist. He is never mentioned in the lists of great rock bassists . His sound was very unique and had that beautiful soft plucky sound that was central to the Dead’s music sound and feel. I say this as a Huge Rush and Who fan and years of listening to Geddy Lee and John Entwistle. Phil Lesh should be in the conversation amongst amongst all time great bassists.
@Sleepy_Alligator Жыл бұрын
Totally agree. Phil is my personal best bass player for sure. On the bus since 9/2/78, changed me for ever. That second set is other worldly , never forget that day, 50 or 60 feet in front of the band, Giants Stadium. Beyond those others you mentioned, Chris Squire of Yes, and Berry Oakley original Allman Brothers bassist. Have to mention Paul McCartney as well, some of McCartneys playing was just awesomely rocking, so musical and tasteful. John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin also to be mentioned among great rock bass players.

This is fantastic! Almost makes up for Mikaela and friends getting the hook today after only two songs.

I stumbled across this. Dude is channeling Phil. The whole band is amazing and keeping this music fresh.

I wonder how much Mikaela Davis has listened to Dorothy Ashby and Brandee Younger. Davis' style has matured over the last year and her improvisations have improved significantly. Her style definitely reminds me a bit of Ashby at times throughout this.

T Sisters version also, fabulous, legacy covers, Doom Flamingo’s Touch of Grey, the entire Rain Forest project album, Indigo Girls Uncle John’s Band, that pianist who does all those jams in outdoor locations, women doing Dead music is an extension of the music that is like a manifestation of the Universal spirit or magic or whatever, the Dead live! This is a great Birdsong, great artists!
