The Phish and Grateful Dead worlds came together in a big way from April 15
- 17, 1999; when Phil Lesh returned from his liver transplant to front a band he put
together that featured guitarists Trey Anastasio and Steve Kimock, keyboardist Page
McConnell and drummer John Molo. Most folks who we've talked to about these Phil &
Phriends performances
consider them among the best concerts they've ever seen, especially the first night which
started off with an epic, 30+ minute "Viola Lee Blues."
It's hard to believe Tuesday will mark 15 years since these shows took place. We want to
celebrate the anniversary by cheating a bit on the "Full Show" part of our Full Show
Friday column and presenting the 98-minutes worth of video footage from April 15, 1999
that circulates. It starts with the transcendent "Viola Lee Blues" we mentioned and
continues with "Big Railroad Blues," "Row Jimmy," "Shakedown Street" > "The Wheel" > "Not
Fade Away" and "Mr. Tambourine Man."
Viola Lee Blues 32:51
Big Rail Road Blues 7:16
Row Jimmy 8:06
Shakedown Street > Wheel > Not Fade Away 43:06
Mr. Tambourine Man 7:06
