Happy 81st birthday to Phil Lesh! For the last several years we’ve been gathering at The Capitol Theatre or Terrapin Crossroads to celebrate Phil’s birthday with various star studded Phil & Friends or Terrapin Family Band lineups. We can’t wait to all be back doing it in person, but for now a kaleidoscopic collaboration of Phil’s friends have honored him with a quarantined version of his masterpiece, “Unbroken Chain.”
