Jay Blakesberg Interviews Phil Lesh at Terrapin Crossroads
May 4, 2015
Phil demonstrates "Big Brown," his Alembicized Guild Starfire Bass used during the Wall of Sound era...
Interview preceded Phil n Friends performance in the Terrapin Time Machine of the Grateful Dead's 8/17/75 Great American Music Hall performance (One from the Vault). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1EyHnKzhX4
(Note: To me this was a very unimpressive demo as Phil seemed confused by all the controls and the memories of how this thing worked didn't seem fresh - the demo was also not too impressive, but it's an interesting 17 minutes.....)
