In a recent New York Times article, the famous supergroup Phil Lesh and Friends performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Phil Lesh, use to ply with the famous blues band Grateful Dead. After the famous founding member Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack, the Grateful Dead bore up. Thus, Phil Lesh would develop the American rock band Phil Lesh and Friends.
“The Phil Lesh and Friends group played the last of 10 area shows, according to the article. They performed twice at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and played eight times at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. Furthermore, there were line up changes. For instance, the Brooklyn performance had Hoe Russo (Drummer), Warren Haynes(who toured with the latter days of the Grateful Dead),Jackie Greene on guitars and among others.
One of the performances that the article mentions is the fact that Haynes and Greene used music elements of blues and country and had made some old time Jerry Garcia music. Haynes also did music elements of the famous Southern Rock band The Allman Brothers Band. He touched on solos of Dickey Betts and Duane Allman both famous former guitarists of the band.
In my opinion, this sounded like a fascinating concert to attend to because I am into the blues music. I am not the biggest fan of blues, but I like blues music from two famous guitarists, Robert Johnson and Jimi Hendrix. Both guitar players really hit the jackpot of playing classical blues. Furthermore, they were able to inspire many musicians to play music in the future after their deaths. Overall, I did enjoy reading this article. I would have gone one of these concerts if I knew about them beforehand. The link of the article is below for further reading.
