The last week has been a great one for Dead fans. While Bob Weir and Wolf Bros are making their away across the US during for their inaugural tour, Phil Lesh and a group of his friends did a Halloween run on the East Coast.
Dubbed Phil-O-Ween, Lesh teamed up with Twiddle on Halloween proper at the Cap, and then did a pair of shows with Karl Denson, Jimmy Herring and The Terrapin Family Band. Herring double-dipped Halloween runs this year, flying to NYC after his massive Vegas run with Widespread Panic.
The official line-up for the evening included Jason Crosby on keyboards and vocals, Ross James on guitar, vocals, Elliot Peck on vocals, Grahame Lesh on guitar and vocals, Nate Graham on drums, Phil Lesh on bass guitar and vocals, Karl Denson on sax, flute, percussion and vocals, Alex Koford on guitar and vocals and Jimmy Herring on guitar.
The set had plenty of Dead, but also some killer covers including CSNY’s “Ohio” and “Almost Cut My Hair.”
