  • "When Phil starting singing again in 1984 after a decade hiatus from the vocal microphone, he started with some cover songs like Gimme Some Lovin' and this Bob Dylan classic, which he first sang with the Grateful Dead on 3/27/85. It remained in the repertoire until 1995, played a few times every year. It always sounded like Phil was having fun when he sang it. It was Phil's playful lyrical modification 'I'm going back to San Anselmo' that inspired me to live in San Anselmo when I lived in Marin County 1999-2006." - David Lemieux

    Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? There's no better place to take a long strange trip with the Grateful Dead than right here. We've got music from every single studio album and a bevy of live albums, to boot. There are celebrated live performances from the 70s and 80s and official videos with more skeletons than you can shake your bones at, an exclusive seaside series on what's to come from the band's rich catalog and details on meet-ups all across the promised land. If it's community you’re after, try your hand at our yearly DEAD COVERS PROJECT competition and connect with fellow Dead Heads around the world. Heck, keep your eyes peeled you might even catch a glimpse of Pigpen on keys, Jerry in a GROOVE, Bobby tellin' tales, Mickey talkin' space, Phil and friends, Bill on the beach, or anyone from our extended family.

    It's all happenin' right here. Subscribe and you won't miss a thing.

    Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Tom Constanten, Keith Godchaux and Vince Welnick- they were very important in Deads history, but for me Brent Mydland was the best. The way he was playing keyboards was not only beautiful.... You can feel it only listening to this sounds. Rip Ron, Keith, Brent and Vince [*].

    This was in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium in July -- the humidity was as thick as the beer. There'd been a water hose sprayed onto the crowd on the stadium floor because we were getting crisp in the sun. That created a massive slip and slide on the plastic put down to protect the baseball field underneath us. Fond memories of a great summer evening.

    Bass Great....Lesh Philling! Best version of the best song I've ever heard Phil take lead vocals on. He gets less love for his vocal talents than Ringo got from the Beatles! Had I not known better, I would have sworn I was listening to Dylan himself. In fact, I think Phil 'out Dylaned" Dylan on this one. Very well done, Phil. Say what you want, but when they were hitting on all cylinders, nobody ever was better live than the Grateful Dead! NOBODY!
