Beautiful. First time I noticed Phil’s aura was at Oxford Valley Speedway in Maine - maybe 1987 - he was on stage doing his thing but was preoccupied with one of his kids off stage - he kept making funny faces and smiling beatifically while the kid was lapping it all up. I knew he was a genuine loving father and that made me adore the guy from that moment on… my favorite concert though was at the Cap on Halloween 2017… Philoween with The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The Werewolves of London cover remains eternal for me. RIP!
Gregory- This is beautiful. Admittedly, I don't know much about Lesh' work. But Red Rocks is one of my favs. And I can see why your memories of him are so vivid, especially at the Boulder hotel. Was it at the Boulderado? Anyways, hope you're all good in Thailand (if I remember correctly)? Cheers, -Thalia

Wow. That must have been an incredible show. I haven't listened to it, but I am going to track it down now! Thanks for sharing, Josh!
