Phil Lesh and Friends may have been the last band to ring in the new year in the US. As he did last year, Phil rang in the new year in Hawaii at the Hawaii Theatre in Honolulu.

This year, Phil was joined by a similar cast of friends including Grahame Lesh on guitar and vocals, Ross James on guitar and vocals, Alex Koford on drums and vocals, Jason Crosby on keyboards and Eric Krasno on guitar and vocals.

The three sets including tunes by The Velvet Underground, The Band, Bob Dylan and a whole lot of Grateful Dead. The third set kicked off with the countdown and then broke out into a crazy “Shakedown Street.” What better way to ring in the new year?
