Phil Chicago 3-7-19
Forums:
Phil Lesh and The Terrapin Family Band honored Chicago’s own Wilco on Friday night at the first of two shows at Thalia Hall in The Windy City. The Grateful Dead bassist and his band covered “Misunderstood” to end last night’s concert.
A trend seems to be developing as Phil and the group paid tribute to Nirvana during a recent tour stop in Seattle. Last night’s version of “Misunderstood” was led by guitarist Alex Koford who recently made a move from behind the drums to the band’s third guitarist along with Ross James and Grahame Lesh. Nathan Graham is now The Terrapin Family Band’s drummer.
Phil has a few connections to Wilco. Lesh joined forces with the group at the 1999 Mountain Aire Festival in Calaveras, California to harmonize with Jeff Tweedy on “Ripple” in a rare bass-less appearance. More recently, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline made a few cameos with Phil Lesh & Friends at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York in 2014.

Calling Ross James a mediocre
Calling Ross James a mediocre guitarist is an insult to mediocre guitarists.. The only thing worse than his guitar playing is his vocals. IMO, Phil playing with this band has spun him into entropy.

It has all become a bit of a dog and pony show at this point. I'm happy for the memories. The interest level has dropped to zero and I've seen quite a bit of this evolution since Grateful Dead went away. There has been a reverse learning curve for a number of years now. Maybe I'm old but DSO is the only band I check out anymore on this front and I find them to be very good at what they do. I go to other concerts now but not as often.

As Phil's eased into semi
As Phil's eased into semi-retirement, him and Jill have clearly chosen to play with musicians that they don't have to pay much money to. The fact that they're Grahame's friends is a bonus. I'm sure Phil's a little embarrassed deep down playing with a bunch of amateurs. But it's all about the extra cash and getting Grahame some publicity. I don't blame him for that either. He's given us a hell of a lot and doesn't owe us anything at this point.
