After the Dead and Company played their “Johnny B. Goode” encore in Atlanta, the fun was just getting started on the west coast. Phil Lesh and a stellar group of friends played a gig titled ‘Dead Blues’ at Terrapin Crossroads which was streamed for free thanks to nugsnet.

Phil’s line-up for Dead Blues, a Pig Pen era themed show, was Luther Dickinson & Cody Dickinson, John Medeski, Roosevelt Collier, Junior Mack, Grahame Lesh, Danielle Nicole & Elliott Peck. Wow.

The party got started with a funky “Viola Lee Blues” and didn’t stop until over three hours later.
