Welcome to the official Myspace page of Phil Lesh & Friends!
Those looking for the inspiration of the current jam band movement need look no further than Phil Lesh. A founding member of the venerable American musical institution, the Grateful Dead, Lesh has continued to inspire while pushing the envelope with his highly evolved musical performances. The world-class musicians that have passed through Phil Lesh & Friends have thrilled audiences with their high-flying improvisations and timeless renditions of Grateful Dead classics. In 2005, Little Brown published Phil Lesh’s memoir titled: Searching For The Sound – My Life with the Grateful Dead, which found the inventive bassist on the New York Times Best Seller List. Last fall, Image Entertainment released Phil Lesh & Friends’ first DVD release – Live at the Warfield. For Phil Lesh the relentless pursuit of improvisation is well known.
Mountain Jam re-unites Phil Lesh with guitarist Warren Haynes for what will be Phil Lesh & Friends’ only 2007 festival season appearance. Fans can expect Phil Lesh & Friends’ fearless musical exploration that will keep the bodies swaying and the feet moving.
Check above for sample tracks from Phil and Friends' upcoming live DVD/CD "Live At The Warfield".
On May 18th and 19th 2006, Phil Lesh and Friends electrified The Warfield Theater in San Francisco, CA with two nights of music that never failed to satisfy. The venerable theater had been visited many times by Phil Lesh and Friends, but never by this exact group. This group of assembled Friends combines a strong jazz background with a touch of blues, a pinch of soul, a good helping of groove, and just the right amount of jamming to keep the faithful dancing well into the early morning.

Indians living close to nature and nature's ruler are not living in darkness.
" --Walking Buffalo, There are many Indian people who are living according to nature and according to ceremony and culture. They may not have a lot of material things, but that doesn't mean they are not successful. What is success anyway? Can success be measured by material things? What is it we are really chasing anyway? The Elders say that what everyone really wants is to be happy and have a peaceful mind. Material things by themselves do not bring happiness and peace of mind. Only spiritual things bring happiness. When we live a spiritual life we will not have darkness. Instead, we will be happy.
Elder's Meditation of the Day - April 25 "In some mysterious and wonderful way you are part of everything, Nephew. And in that same mysterious and wonderful way, everything is a part of you.
" --Nippawanock, ARAPAHOE In order to experience this, we must be aware of how limited our senses are—eyes, ears touch, smell, taste. These senses help us to function in the Seen World. What we see is interpreted by our minds and put inside our belief system, and this can become our reality. But there also exists an Unseen World. In this world we experience connectedness; we experience the mystery; and we experience another whole point of view. If we pay attention to both the Unseen World and the Seen World, our belief systems will print in our mind a new and wonderful reality. We will see and know we are a part of everything.
Great Spirit, today, give me the knowledge to know this mystery.
Hey Now Phil, I understand the 'Donor Rap',it's importance and the fact that donations have saved not only your life but many many others. But I have a concern. Like me I know you remember the 'Owsley days' and the 'Think it and you're there' ways it brought about,and that's the rub. Many folks are,naturally, tripping,not as good as we did,but tripping just the same,with the same results. We see what we hear,and, what we're 'seeing' is organs of all types shooting out of us,crawling up to the stage looking for people to jump in to. Maybe GD Tickets could put a Donor reguest on the tickets,passive for sure,but less tramatic to tripping minds,
