Phil Lesh cause of dead: music Icon dies at 84 Phil Lesh Passes Away at 84

[@kiernanthomas6006]

This was good until that loud piano music started around 3:25

[@xxryder1]

I know! Ruined the video!

[@johnwright4093]

Yes it did ​@xxryder1

[@LarryHinze-q9b]

It is computer generated shit anyway.

[@ianmitchell4745]

Yeah... WTF, I just stopped watching.

[@JohnWerfelman]

If you haven’t noticed. Phil is always smiling

[@Tryingtohaveselfcontrol]

He was. I bet he passed to the other side smiling. His family loves him so much. Was an honor to watch Jill watch him play. Smiles ear to ear with pride

[@ramses4530]

I'd be willing to bet, that his cheeks were often soar.😁

[@cowboysfan782008]

Watching and listening to this vid, and what they were saying about his contributions to the GD I was thinking "Yea And He Had A Great Attitude Always". That's when I looked down and saw your comment. I saw them in 1985 at the Greek Theater in LA and at Anaheim Stadium in 87'. Great dude!

[@peterbetts858]

turn that offensive electronic elevator music off or down . have some respect for a musician that was in one of the most grounded ,inventive bands that made some of the most groundbreaking music in our lifetime .

[@FoolintheRainSDMF]

Amen

[@johnroz2895]

yeah that loud background electronic junk was a lousy choice. i was struggling to hear what she was saying.

[@tonetone7572]

one of my hero's When listening to the Grateful Dead he stands out and is just as important to listen to as Jerry Garcia. one of the greatest bass players who during the 60's when the bass was simply a time keeping back round filler instrument Phil was one of several seminal bass players all with unique styles who changed the way the instrument would be played in their genre's- Jack Casady, Larry Graham , Jack Bruce, John Entwistle and Phil Lesh.

[@derhandtrommler]

Not a Deadhead at all, but I interviewed Bob Weir in 1980. It was in a hotel room in Anchorage Alaska, on the 12th floor. Lesh was sitting next to an open window knocking back Heinekens. I will forever see him sitting there, green bottle in hand looking down through the open window. and I'm wondering when someone else in the room will be concerned he'll fall right out and go "splat". No one else cared. Goodbye, Phil. I wasn't really a fan, but I know a legend when I meet one. Au revoir.

[@Tryingtohaveselfcontrol]

Only the dead would have someone commented t this and type 2times how much thry loath the music. Like we black licorice ....one just can't get enough or one just vomits.

[@derhandtrommler]

@@Tryingtohaveselfcontrol That's the problem with Deadheads.It's just like MAGAs Either you swallow the thing whole or you're an ass hat. I own one Dead album (American Beauty) and hardly ever play it. But I respect certain talents within the band. Garcia played lead on a track by Warren Zevon that knocks me out. But I'd walk through sewage before I would have gone to a Dead show. Love The Allman Brothers Band, because they were interesting and used complex idioms when they jammed. The Dead just repeated simple ideas ad nauseam . Are you getting it ? I can like some of the elements without liking the finished product. That's probably a little sophisticated for your "Casey Jones" muddled grey matter. But I did my best.

[@kleptogiver]

Great story... Now, go listen to "Box of rain".

[@derhandtrommler]

@@kleptogiver Since you seem polite, I'm gonna do that. I am familiar with it.

[@Tryingtohaveselfcontrol]

@@kleptogiver it was actually a comment of disrespect. Not a fan...means I hate the music because I don't get it. Dude has to state it twice. Say you are unworthy of interviewing the boys without saying you are unworthy

[@keithshaw6725]

Whatta pro. I am so sad!

[@patrickhite3026]

You never mentioned Phil's cause of death....That was the title.

[@CowboyPants-h5p]

No, the title says "cause of dead", not "cause of death". Get yer act together! 🤣

[@Ghostdog4]

But it made you sit and watch the whole thing

[@haolefly]

@@CowboyPants-h5p That's how "fake news", was born. Misleading headlines. Majority fall for it! Have you noticed?

[@peterbetts858]

welcome to the world of sketchy reporting .

[@josephgrumet]

You are right. I believe he passed from a combination of cancer bladder prostate old age. I don’t believe that anything nefarious happened.

[@markd7811]

He was a cool Dude!

[@billbeliakoff5589]

There's nothing like trying to listen to an A.I. voice that's being drowned out by doctors waiting room music

[@steinbauge4591]

Actually you are overestimating AI. It can't do this. If the voice here is synthetic (sounds real) there is no need for Ai to do it, just a text file and text to speech software.

[@janicebraunstein2019]

RIP

[@davemanone3661]

A lot of the fans that joined in the 80's were unruly trouble makers. They just wanted to be part of something popular and i stopped going to the shows, partly because of them. RIP Phil, look for Jerry and Pig! 🌈

[@bullyproofyomama]

Saw my last show in 82 I was tired of that vibe and my life needed to change. I lie I on a lark went up to Highgate Vermont in 94 and saw them play to a massive crowd but I by then felt like an outsider/onlooker . Couldn’t believe what they and the scene had become with video screens and all to boot . Then Jerry passed the next year and that was it . I never felt compelled to attempt to recapture the magic of the heyday and try to get busted for good old times sake dawning a hideous commercially made Ben N Jerry’s tye dye t shirt . Nope not for me .

[@chrisrees7054]

84, I didn't know he was that old? Damn that's almost 90.

Thanks, but the elevator music obliterated the experience. Maybe do a remix?

[@Noodleboy56]

Seems like AI/ChatGPT sort of stuff to me.

[@Chops_McCoy]

Yes the narration is definitely AI text-to speech.

[@paulgibby6932]

@@Chops_McCoy Yes. That is such a turn-off to me. I love it when they have to "say" numbers. It exposes (at least at this point) the AI-ness. E.g. 10,000 "One oh, oh oh oh" :)

[@ntfdaway]

Lose the overdub music. Can't hear the commentary.

[@Mike-bk8xo]

Lay down my dear brother lay down and take your rest. I want you lay your head upon your savior breast. We love you, but Jesus loves you the best and I bet you good night good night good night rest in peace my brother I know that Saint Peter and Jerry were waiting at the pearly gates, were you, you got nothing to worry about brother you’re in heaven now I love you man. I’m gonna miss you. Take care of Phil. See you again someday for sure. Peace love there’s no words that can explain how I feel man I’m really really really really very, very shocking up upset so God bless you my brother rest in peace.

[@derhandtrommler]

This is presumptuous claptrap. Why do you assume Jerry & Phil gave a shit about your stale religion ? What about Bill Kreutzmann, Pigpen, Keith Godchaux, Brent Mydland & Vince Welnick ? I guess they don't rate in your vanilla vision of the afterlife.

[@toddhinden7628]

Good review, however the music is terrible either lose it or redo it with Grateful Dead music please!

Thanks ai. That absolutely sucked
