Significant loss for the music world as a whole. Phils entire life was lived for and filled with music. Endless music. It came out of his hands as good as any other men on earth. Phil was innovative, a powerfully good human, he was so many things during his life. This loss will be felt around the world

Love you Phil , You left us with so much energy and love The millions whose life's you made better thank you , from the bottom of our heart My mum was trapped in a hell with her husband, believing that i was never gonna leave and she had to stay with him to provide for me, The one too scared to walk out the door Then Wembley and i never went back home, Which enabled her to move out, I've had a wonderful life, thanks Phil

Hope you, jerry, pigpen, Brent, Keith, and Vince are all jamming in the afterlife (talk about a great keys jam). May the trip continue on

@PoetStaley Ай бұрын

I know he was 84 but I’m still very sad. He had a very unique style of playing, I remember reading somewhere that he would sometimes play the note right next to the correct note. Or the note next to the one that correlated completely with what the rest of the band would play. When he started playing one note to the side, his style emerged. Also, it is cool how he ended up playing with so many of the younger cats these last few years, passing the torch on all that stuff

Odd thing, this morning, being a musician, I was thinking about Phil's freeform bass style and how he approached playing live. With his music playing in my mind I sat at my computer for the first time around 10am and saw the news he had passed. Strange feeling came over me. Coincidence? Felt his passing? I shrug. Phil Lesh is a legendary bass player, his work with the Grateful Dead and others, studio work and live shows, was just brilliant. Thank you for all you've given to music Phil, you will be missed by many and in the coming days there will be many tributes in your honor I'm sure. May your onward journey be melodious.

Been a die hard head since 1988 as a teenager and this experience was far beyond any bucket list. Such a genrous man to share so much with us fans. Although he escaped death for decades...today has hit me hard. May Jill be surrpunded eith love and peace through her grief. ❤

I met Phil in 2005 I think in a bookstore in New Jersey. I wanted to ask him to bring big brown on his next tour in New Jersey, but my mind went blank when I met him. The winter time comes around and he was doing a tour with Chris Robinson and Larry Campbell and Barry Sless. They did a three night run in Atlantic City and I saw two of the three shows. The shows were fantastic and he happened to bring big Brown for only two songs. I don’t think he played that bass on any more of the shows, but it was a very short run. The best musical shows I ever saw were with Phil and Friends from 2005-2010. Phil always pushed as bad in New Jersey and in 2009 when he was on tour with the dead, The New Jersey shows were fantastic.

I first caught "The Dead" in my hometown of Port Chester NY in Feb '71. I was 15. Phil recently celebrated his 84th birthday in March at the Capitol Theater (in Port Chester) where they first played in 1970. It is one of the original 70's Rock palaces that's still a functioning "Rock Palace". Songs from the February '71 shows are included on the 50th anniv. of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. Phil's book "Searching for the Sound" is a great read and his solo album "Live at Warfield" is a great listen...along with all the Dicks Picks and Dave's Picks.

St Stephen Jamming into The Eleven on the "Live Dead" LP will always remain as the most thrilling rock bass guitar passage of all time. It can never be topped for spine tingling visceral excitement and Phil's Epilogue will always be one of the most beautiful, haunting, introspective brainworms ever composed. Thanks Phil they've never let me down when I needed them.

Wow, terrible news to see as soon as I open up KZbin. 😢 Phil was a one-of-a-kind player and a rock 'n' roll "lifer" who was still doing shows a few months ago! Terribly sorry to see this and thinking of his family and friends at this time. We know that his legacy will go on, perhaps even with the gift of his own organs (Phil was a passionate advocate for organ donation after his own life was saved by an organ donor). "Such a long, long time to be gone And a short time to be there"

What can be said that hasn’t been said before? Musically, just like Garcia, Phil was a type of Christ. He had conviction, and ethic that was solid. Other than Jack Cassidy, he had no equal in the rock genre. Even Jack Bruce wasn’t as powerful as Lesh. Those of us who were there, we’ll never forget the memories. I was just thinking about the Gathering Of The Vibes 2002 last night. I feel a deep sense of loss. I know I’m not alone.

Random guy on tour (1987) telling some other random guy why Phil was in the top 5 all-time bass players - "Well, Phil Lesh never really bothered learning to play the bass, he just made the bass learn to play Phil Lesh." Always stuck with me. See ya when we get there, Phil.
