    From Two From The Vault is one of my all-time GD moments. It has that soothing melody that feels so good after a "My nerves are shot, and I can't take it anymore" section of music like That's It for the Other One. Exactly perfect.

    I wish they would have found a way to keep it in their repertoire a little longer. On the sunny side, I was able to see them perform it both with Phil's band and Furthur in the post Jerry years.

    One of those great, quirky songs. Thanks Phil, you are missed.

    Update

    I was at the Los Lobos show last night.
    When the guys took the stage, David Hidalgo
    stepped up to the mike and said:
    "This is for Phil Lesh."
    They proceeded to open with "West L.A. Fadeaway."

    There were quite a few heads in the audience, and we got
    Evangeline, Not Fade Away, Bertha, La Bamba>Good Lovin>La Bamba
    plus ALL the great tunes Los Lobos is known for. Bitter sweet. What a day it was.

    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!

I think I can help demystify the topic and a person quickly ways to implementing. Recently Hammer did the "Gangnam Style" with rapper PSY and performed set at a halftime tv show. Hammer's attendance at the Caps game prompted newscaster Michael Jenkins of doing a news report in "U Can't Touch That" rap style. Tags are the result after the # signature.
