Someone recently posted this online -- Live Highlights from Phil Lesh & The Midnight Ramble Band's celebration of the 53rd Anniversary of Woodstock, Bethel Woods NY 8/20/22. This was one of the finest Phil shows in a long long time!  Band, music, venue, VIBE was entirely killer start to finish!!!  Just what we're always searching for in a Phil show!

Phil Lesh & The Midnight Ramble Band - Woodstock 53rd Anniversary Show at Bethel Woods NY 8/20/22 - YouTube 

Great stuff

Whole show here

 

I was there and agree with your assessment of the show, Starkdar

Was surprised to talk to Connor Kennedy (gtr & vocals) - to be told that the sound on stage was so bad that  they were all just trying to get through the show. Even more impressive in light of the result!

Interesting about the sound. We were 3rd row center and could not tell anything was amiss. But, not surprising the stage / monitor sound was rough given the number of musicians on stage!  I thought with that many people on stage, the show might be convoluted or messy but it was not at all! Goes to show what can happen with such tenured professionals who aren't selfish! 

If we could package the vibe from that night........!!!!

 

"here" where?

Nicely done, Lance. I raise my glass to you.

Cam, I could swear that I saw the ghost of Mike W in the lot after the show....
