Was watching a show from TXR last night - young Stu Allen, Headband, Alex Koford & Brian Lesh.
Do not recall reading about a backstory of Brian's exit from the public side of Phil's world.
I recall being at a Nokia show and Phil had Brian's baby Levon crawling around the stage on a rug (noise dampening headphones on).
and then .... Brian was gone. Did he decide to just be a Dad?

Rumor I heard was Phil told
Rumor I heard was Phil told him to focus on parenting - wasn't Brian's choice, but probably more to the story..

First saw the Lesh Brothers
The first time I saw the Lesh Brothers they were playing with Maiden Lane on the small stage of Furthur Festival at Mountain Aire. Phil joined the band on stage.
I remember some of the items on the Terrapin Crossroads brunch menu ~
Jill's Chill
Phil's Scramble
Brian's Grilled Cheese
I don't recall Grahame having a dish named after him on the menu.

small stage of Further Fest

I also remember that very well ... especially just kinda lounging around during the day and getting to get that close. Here's a clip I took of Cortez the Killer:

The other big things I remember from that fest:
- making my way up through the fog (not sure if it was artificial or not) near the buildings at the top after the show ... to stumble into an indoor Bob-Tuna after show that I was surprised to see. Phil did one too.
- being soooo upset they were going to play "albums", but being soooooo happy they did after it was said and done!
- coming back to my tent to learn from my neighbor (Kermit) that someone used a knife on themselves during the show (bad scene)
- being kept awake all night from boom boxes turned up to 11
