I love me some old school tempo changes In Jack Straw. My favorite versions are the ones where you aren't sure if they are playing fast or slow, but Jerry did play blisteringly fast. Jay
Not sure how Phil's bands are put together, but they are consistently very good. They are certainly my favorite permutations of the Dead. He's still one of my favorite bass players.
You could argue that there are any number of jazz players with greater technical proficiency, but to my ear, NOBODY tops Phil. Not now, not ever. He's the best.
So good. This block of shows was amazing. My favorite Jack Straw. hoping this channel puts out the Halloween show closer. If they want views, nothing beats that closer.
If when you say "Bob's band" you're referring to Dead & Company. Then, no, that band played 2 shows at the Gorge recently. I attended both shows. They were mind-blowing. The best Dead & Co shows I've seen. Astonishing and fabulous.
@@leshtricity I saw them in 18’ and some tunes were fantastic (Cumberland blues, Althea) where Mayer just ripped. But others were like in slo-mo. Seeing them for the final tour this summer and hoping they have some fire underneath.
Great jam--one of the best I've heard in a while! You could tell they were really feeling it and reminds me of my favorite Dead jam: "Hard to Handle" from Fallout from the Philzone (czcams.com/video/iL61lRHUFU0-/video.html-love how the crowd gets more and more excited in this recording).
Kind of like The Outlaws cover GD.Three electric guitars stepping on each other. But thankfully they could play well and it came through, kind of. I don't need to hear a Grahame Lesh solo for awhile. If not for Marcus King's name I wouldn't have clicked it. I did listen to the whole thing at least FWIW.
Nice energy, fun tempo changes. I’m sure it was a blast being there. Of course there is a “but”. All of these post Garcia bands have their flaws. Bobby gets bashed for his slow tempos. I get it and can’t fault anyone for that take. Phil’s bands have a tendency to be busy, as in the stage is pretty full. 3 guitarists doing lead?!?!? I’m surprised they didn’t line up front to back and sway back and forth like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Sonically it could benefit from some space.
I was there 10/28 & 10/29! Jack Straw was FIRE. Phil is simply peerless. Nicki Bluhm, Markus King, Eric Krasno were amazing. Watching Phil do what he loves with his son warms my heart and listening to such talented musicians' tribute to the Dead is truly a gift. However, Grahame really shouldn't sing any songs... No hate... but Grahame's voice kills the sweet vibes for me.
When does the intro end? When vocals come in? Or when the allmann bros solo starts? This music always seems to start but never get anywhere. It’s on or off like super compressed except the tempo which always drags. It’s weird noodle music I can’t understand
I’m sure it’s out of love for his son and the fact that he wants to spend time with him as he ages (can’t fault the man for that) but I always wish Phil would leave Grahame out of the “friends”. There’s no need for 3 guitars when the other 2 are Krasno and King.
it's a good version but Graham's solo feels a bit egotistical when he's got two world class guitarists next to him. there's nothing wrong with playing rhythm guitar.
@Errand Wolfe hey there fellow music lover was that joke really necessary? Probably not but either way please refrain from suggesting that any musician dies. I love how music takes me to another level of enjoyment in this crazy game called life. And your an ass for saying that Bob Weir should die because his musical abilities aren't good enough, who the fuck are you except a FOOL😅
So glad Phil is still going strong after all these years. Great show, and hopefully many more to come.
His son's a fine musician too
Phil never disappoints. Such a master! At the end, Phil smiled because he knew that was fire.
You're right. He still feels it. And loves it like we do.
Dude, that was jack straw, not fire. 😂
That was phenomenal. Brought tears to my eyes seeing Phil going strong at 83. Sorry I missed the show.
Stellar Straw, marcus can just jam anything... and luv the smile on phil's face at the end. Thnx again for the countless share's !
The smile on Phils face speaking volumes.
@@Strik9 and Phil's son Grahame seems like he was born to play 🎸
Yaaaay, Phil! Great band you got there!

‘cept The Grateful Dead perhaps
Of course.
One big Family
The best of all the Dead cover bands!
Not a Dead 'Cover Band'. Grrrrrr...
@@user-lv6lq2kr1k Why not? I think Dead & Co is a cover band too.
Yet it's not the Grateful Dead neither just because Phil was leading the band that night.
What a great band!
🎶 Lesh is more 🎶
He's playin' his 6-string bass🎸🎶
Lesh filling Bass Great!
This is definitely a goose bump maker just wonderful!!
You could argue that there are any number of jazz players with greater technical proficiency, but to my ear, NOBODY tops Phil. Not now, not ever. He's the best.
Awesome as always!
so beautiful i have chills
What a crescendo!😮Killer.
So good. This block of shows was amazing. My favorite Jack Straw. hoping this channel puts out the Halloween show closer. If they want views, nothing beats that closer.
Best of all time!
Love it. That first 5 minutes had a major pentatonic Dickey Betts vibe. Really dug it and the transition.
Phil, thank you. I am getting a heart transplant this month and I know you are a great supporter of donations.
Best solo I've ever seen from Grahame there. I like the tone of the red Les Paul a lot more than the blonde 335 he often has.
amazing interplay with the other guitarist
PHIL'S BANDS are always The Best __ he's got that Mozart/Mingus Bass Lines with GREAT Guitarists and other assorted "Musicians"
Phil and friends 🎉
Peaches in the Summertime apples in the Fall

There is an infinite number of Grateful Deads continuing exponentially outward higher and higher forever forward
Thank you Relix ❤
I hope I can still jam at 83
howey dooin neighborino
i miss all of ya

A Friend
I'm in the PHIL ZONE!!!!!!!!!!
Well worth the Ticket
This jack straw rips !!
Awesome 😂
Now THAT’s the speed it’s supposed to be.
yup. can't stand the Dead and Co renditions that put me to sleep.
@@leshtricity I saw them in 18’ and some tunes were fantastic (Cumberland blues, Althea) where Mayer just ripped. But others were like in slo-mo. Seeing them for the final tour this summer and hoping they have some fire underneath.
They’ve been a lot speedier on this last tour! Still play this one too slow for me tho

On the contrary, I've never heard Lesh Jr. rip a solo like that. That Marcus mutant is not all he's cracked up to be.
Original Capitol Theater was in Passaic NJ!
Marcus's solo was really on point,
That is a bad ass version.
Great song. Europe 72 days.
Capitol gets the best shows.
Soul food 😊
How about the drummer!! 🔥
As of this date Phil’s version is better then the current version of the Dead 😊❤

Valid points....I think Graham is more rythm, but agree ...we like some space....but I like it more on this side of chaotic than old n slow
I agree to that, sometimes it is just too much, players need to get out of each others way at times.

Peaches no bs
😎✌️
GREAT VIDEO, DIDN'T FEATURE MARCUS ALL THAT MUCH?
Teasing All Things Must Pass?
Habibi
every thing is better with krasno!
Wish Marcus didn't have to fight to show his amazing runs off
Is that a Warren Haynes "inspired by" Les Paul?
When does the intro end? When vocals come in? Or when the allmann bros solo starts? This music always seems to start but never get anywhere. It’s on or off like super compressed except the tempo which always drags. It’s weird noodle music I can’t understand
Who mixed this jesus
If Lynyrd Skynyrd had drank less and took more LSD
Was spielen die da eigentlich zusammen...Free Pop?? Habe ich so noch nicht gehört!
Welcome to the bus. Läuft jetzt schon seit 58 Jahren.
@sat❤yagarcia3939
Finally Marcus King playing dead
I’m sure it’s out of love for his son and the fact that he wants to spend time with him as he ages (can’t fault the man for that) but I always wish Phil would leave Grahame out of the “friends”. There’s no need for 3 guitars when the other 2 are Krasno and King.
Yeah I don’t mean to be negative but he never feels necessary. Idk
Who is this jack they speak about?
He's Jack Straw and he's from Wichita, Kansas 💀⚡
He cut his buddy down
Half a mile from Tucson by the border line
@@JoshuaMichael1122 ... by the morning light
one man gone and another to go . . . my old buddy you're movin' much too slow 🎶
@@LucyLennon20 something abut a Eagle and Shannon. He was moving to mush slow. We can share the women and we can share the wine..
I think if ya gonna have Marcus on stage let him rip. Both other guitarists just sort of somewhat hogged the whole tune until the end.
Absolutely Let Marcus Shred
it's a good version but Graham's solo feels a bit egotistical when he's got two world class guitarists next to him. there's nothing wrong with playing rhythm guitar.
Took his Box of Rain and some Change
These guys sound way better than dead and chumps 👏✨️👍🇺🇸
Haha! Mayer runs circles around these guitar players.
@@Marshall_Stacks Yeah, I agree...not a fair comparison at all. Mayer is in a class of his own.
Where is the love
Dead and who? Wow!
are you the kid or the old guy?
Now I have ta say Phil Lesh and Friends is way better than Bob's band. Bobs last show was proof he and his band need a rest.
You’re insane lol
@Errand Wolfe hey there fellow music lover was that joke really necessary? Probably not but either way please refrain from suggesting that any musician dies. I love how music takes me to another level of enjoyment in this crazy game called life. And your an ass for saying that Bob Weir should die because his musical abilities aren't good enough, who the fuck are you except a FOOL😅
Bob needed a rest years ago! He just keeps going. What's the point?
@@dougpotosky4102 he seems like needs a rest
Can you Aholes just be quiet with your dumb thoughts about the remaining members of the greatest band of all time???
Let me guess, this is Epic. Psh
Marcus was a little off
not atypical.
