……I was there in the 70’s, 80’s and even in the 90’s and experienced many of those “ Phil Bombs “. He was truly an innovator and also a founding member of the Grateful Dead when real music made a difference . They were musicians first and foremost and truly cared about the sound(s) they made. Sad as Phil was a pretty intelligent and interesting person…….who actually was a trumpet player first until he picked up a bass at Jerry Garcia’s request . The rest is history . Loved the sound you got out of that Alembic . A life well lived and thanks for all the music you gave us……
As a fan of both great bands, The Doors & The Grateful Dead, Phil and Ray Manzarek led parallel lives. Each classically trained, each had an interest in Bass textures and tones, each left their signature on Rock music.
