Remembering Phil Lesh

[@otisgibbs]

This was originally published a few months ago. I'm sharing it again today, in honor of Phil Lesh and in hopes that more people might hear JD's story. ❤

I loved the Phil Zone. I was fortunate enough to see him perform over 300 times from 1971-95. I’ll miss him forever.

🌹💀 Let there be songs to Phil the air 🥀🌹

So sad that we all have to get old and worn out. Music that brings us pleasure lives on forever.

Phil is just as big of an influence to me as a bass player as Entwistle, Squire, Clarke and the other legends. Such an integral part of the Dead’s sound and a unique player.

He was so unique ❤❤❤

“If, as some savants of consciousness suggest, we are actually agreeing to create, from moment to moment, everything we perceive as real, then it stands to reason that we're also responsible for keeping it going in some harmonious manner.” Phil Lesh form his autobiography ‘Searching for the Sound’ 🌹

Continue to rock Phil- say hello to Jerry - we'll keep playing loud in honor of...

Saw this video at the time, and was fantastic then. More poignant this time. Phil was one of the most incredible and important musicians of all time.

I was very lucky to have met Phil two times, first time in the late 1970s in Boston, I was getting in a elevator when someone said please hold the door, it was Phil, we had a good chat about this and that, he got off on his floor and said thanks, the next time was in a Hotel bar, I asked for a Heineken beer and someone good choice, it was Phil, and he remembered me from before, and he got the next round, I will never forget that, he was a good person, we will all miss you Phil, cheers.✌

Just a box of rain. RIP Phil. Lovely tribute 🙏

[@kevinhuber8723]

Such a wonderful human, he did so much for organ donation and for the most part is not in on the conversation. RIP Phil and Thanks.

[@Bill-cv1xu]

We appreciate you Otis.....

[@bradrehn1007]

My third time with this, thanks to you both!

[@rikeckert493]

Thank you Otis! My recurring dream for years is that Sting, Stuart and Andy are playing on my front lawn out here in Reno.

[@sysop007]

I never got into the Dead but always admired Phil as a bassist and I didn’t know he passed. 😢 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

YOUR MIND HAS LEFT YOUR BODY

[@kevinkramer1314]

Honor Phil by becoming an organ donor❤

[@zereiland]

Thanks phil. You and Bobby are my Dead. So many good times and could have picked a better story from a better guy to put it into laymen’s terms.

✨💗✨

[@humboldtnorm101]

I was there @ TXR

[@joeurbanowski321]

🙏🏻🥲❤️

[@joeurbanowski321]

Hey Otis..! I figure you’re a righteous guy… the good righteous… and so many of us value your opinion… Would you please disregard the potential fallout and give us your endorsement for the Presidental election.? I’ve a pretty good idea that you wouldn’t alienate anyone..

[@CoryBiggs-s8k]

This was super fun to watch and thanks so much for sharing. @otisgibbs has a new fan for life that was such an endearing interview well done all around ❤
