    deepest condolences...

    ...to the Lesh family
    and to the extended family members,
    and to the GD community at large.

    will begin a tribute to Phil today with
    3/19/90 box of rain
    Terrapin Station: passenger
    3/15/90 set 2
    10/12/07 Camden NJ
    12/03/05 Buffalo
    Fallout From The Phil Zone

    RIP Phil

    such a long, long time to be gone
    and a short time to be there

    Phil was Jerry's counterpoint and his bass runs beyond compare

    In a conversation with CNN in 2006, Lesh reflected on the feeling of performing with his bandmates.

    “It’s paradise. At that moment, I’m not really there. And no one is. We are the music, and our personalities as such really cease to exist at all. We’ve been subsumed into the greater personality of the group mind, that’s what’s been created. That’s what’s created when we are creatively improvising, and the flow is really happening. When we are actually channeling, we are opening that pipeline to another reality that speaks to us. And we are acting as transformers, and we have to step that down into musical thought. But this is not something you can do consciously, learn how to do or be taught. It’s just something that happens to you when the stars are aligned properly and when your individual consciousness is open enough.”

    "November and more, as I wait for the score,
    They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door.
    A slow winter day a night like forever,
    Sink like a stone, float like a feather.
    Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the sawhet owl.

    Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane, Listening to the winds howl
    Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of shy and sea.
    Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you and me."
    - Robert Peterson

    "You who choose to lead must follow
    But if you fall you fall alone
    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home"
    - Robert Hunter

    I'm in for 3/15/90

    I was always a Phil guy. Jerry and Phil, no offense to the others. After Jerry passed, I was on the Phil side as close as I could get.

    I'm sad beyond description. Phil made a difference. With all the trouble in the world, when I think of bombs, they are always Phil Bombs.

    Again, sad beyond what words can describe. May the four winds blow you safely home Mr. Lesh.
    There's a weird emptiness here tonight. A well-earned void.

    Edit: I changed my mind and went for Augusta 84. Phil denotes and destroys the final jam in Morning Dew. The Phil and Jerry combo was just exactly perfect. I'll do 3/15/90 tomorrow.

    Ha, great minds ; )

    After a emotional Phil centric playlist we also fired up 3/15/90!
    Man that sounds good!
    And popped a Fremont Dark Star Stout in his honor, SALUTE!

    Glorious Quiet!

    After 2 1700 mile RTs and all that road noise and not much sleep, I’m basking in glorious quiet!
    Did catch a nice 12/30/81 I don’t believe I’ve heard before, on the XM around 2AM Wednesday!

    ...to build upon #52 and continue the 80's theme 'til delivery day
    (order confirmation "check!")

    turn-on, tune-in, and veg out (that was the 80's, right?)

Demons Out an original song by Ozark Matt words and music copyright 2017 all rights reserved. Recorded 8.27.17. We've been pushed around for far too long Hollow Earthlings scatter in their modern race Holographic tyrants seize our memories Unwarranted denial seems so commonplace You've been talking to Elvis again, comb your hair full of sin You've been talking to Stalin again, starve them all we will win You've been talking to Martians again, breathe their air it is thin You've been talking to Masons again, money is the root of it Demons in, demons out demons out demons out Liberty's at stake and they watch tv Credit cards have them on their knees Currency is Love in another age Beauty is the sword let them feel your rage You've been talking to Elvis again, comb your hair full of sin You've been talking to Stalin again, starve them all we will win You've been talking to Martians again, breathe their air it is thin You've been talking to Masons again, money is the root of it Demons in, demons out demons out demons out Mind control derails why you exist Muckrakers and slaves are your best friends Telekinesis pays the rent The Planets are aligned and your fate will bend He is a used-car salesman of God, watch and ring winking nod Daylight, jealous of anything dark, waning sight waxing thought Blood flow, travelling underneath skin, gas exchange dimmer switch Plasma, we no longer need purge the demons out, out of me Demons in, demons out demons out demons out
