R.I.P. Phil Lesh

Post by dmbrocker »

84 years old and one of the finest bassists in rock not named Geddy Lee (enough to deserve his own thread instead of just posting in the 2024 death pool thread):

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

Death don't have no mercy...

His basslines were indeed in their own world, the Bob Daisley of blues/jamband/psychedelia, or however you want to qualify their music. He was truly one of the greats.

RIP

Whether or not you like his bass playing or the Dead, Lesh was a big part of one of the more fascinating and uniquely American musical/cultural movements of the last sixty years.

The Grateful Dead were a government psy op pushing LSD. Lesh was a Freemason and a villian. Say hi to Captain Trips in hell.
