Phil Lesh

……let’s give Phil the respect he deserves on this thread guys ! 

@goofyfoot - Indeed, at all the shows he did after the transplant, at the end of the show he would always encourage people to be organ donors, as he wouldn't be there if there hadn't been one for him.... 

To appreciate Phil Lesh’s approach to bass playing, give a close listen to the Dark Star > Spanish Jam > Lovelight, with the Allman Brothers, Berry Oakley on bass, 2/11/70. Both Phil and Berry are mixed up in the recording and you get a wonderful contrast and compare between two terrific bass players.

Among my favorite bass players—so much good stuff but in terms of his studio output his playing on “Unbroken Chain” is outstanding!

. . . not sure he was more of a beast than Entwistle !
