Phil Lesh and Friends played for a great cause in the Grate room at Terrapin Crossroads last night. Phil teamed up with Ross James, Scott Law, Alex Koford and Chris Gelbudawith for a night of Dead tunes to raise money for a local community park that is currently unsafe for children.

The Terrapin Crossroads website gives more details on the two-night benefit show run:

Albert Park, a park here in our community, is unsafe for our children. Needles are scattered throughout the lawns that once welcomed games of catch and tag.

Phil Lesh is committed to making the world a better and safer place for children. Please join him for two special shows to make a difference, all net proceeds from these shows will go to the B Team to help kick off this project.

Among the Dead tunes played last night, was a soaring “Eyes of the World” featuring a face-melting guitar solo courtesy of Ross James.
