From Grateful Dead of the Day
A very happy birthday to Phil Lesh! Celebrate Phil's many contributions to the Grateful Dead by reading our Lesh bio, replete with links to some of his finest shows.
On this day in 1990, the Dead delivered arguably the best Terrapin ever, breakouts of Revolution and Easy To Love You, and an all-round top-shelf show from top to bottom...you think the boys were having fun celebrating Phil's 50th birthday? Listen to the entire show and watch the crowd chants of “We want Phil” lead to Tom Thumb’s Blues on crisp remastered video!
On this day in 1969, the Grateful Dead played a black-tie fundraiser for the San Francisco Symphony as only the Dead can with a late start, an early exit, and a steamy Dark Star> Stephen> Eleven> Lovelight. Listen to the entire show, including the first Hard to Handle.
Today is also the birthday of the Beach Boys’s Mike Love. Him and his bandmates joined the Grateful Dead on stage back in 1971. In honor of Mike, listen to that show and read more about the sordid history of the Beach Boys and the Dead.
