Live reviews

As you may expect from Phil Lesh, the former Grateful Dead bassist, when you go to see him and his Friends live it isn't your standard rock concert.

It is hard to explain what a Phil Lesh and Friends show is like and this is primarily due to the fact that the line-up is rarely the same from one tour to the next and that they are constantly updating their sound.

The band are essentially a Grateful Dead tribute band but in their live incarnation are so much more than that.

Their first show, in 1994, with Grateful Dead members Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Vince Welnick for what was an unplugged Grateful Dead show. The group didn't appear under that name again until 1999 when Phil Lesh appeared with a whole new group of 'Friends'.

The most consistent incarnation of the group came in the early 2000s under the name the Phil Lesh Quintet, which was comprised of Lesh himself, Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring (The Allman Brothers Band), Rob Barraco (The Dead), and John Molo (David Nelson Band). The band released an album with this line-up, in 2002, entitled There and Back Again which contained a variety of new songs.

This line-up were known for their fast-paced, harder rock that was some way away from the Grateful Dead's original sound and tended to verge more on a southern rock sound.

The current line-up have been touring the USA for a lot of this year and continue to wow audiences across the States. They have also kept one the the Grateful Dead's traditions, which is allowing fans to record live shows, alive. Instead of discouraging the idea of recording shows and trading them over the internet this is something the band embrace, making a live show something spectacular when you see so many phone lights up in the air all at once.

If you're a fan of the Grateful Dead or southern alternative rock then a Phil Lesh and Friends show is definitely the place to be.

Phil Lesh Announces Summer Tour Dates

Grateful Dead founder Phil Lesh has unveiled a string of summer dates with his band Phil Lesh and Friends. The legendary bassist will have a host of special guests during his concerts, which will focus on the West Coast before heading east.

His first concert is scheduled for June 4th at the Frost Amphitheater at Stanford in Palo Alto, California during which he will be joined by John Scofield, Scott Metzger, and Benmont Tench. He’ll then head to Oregon, Washington, and Colorado before flying to Bridgeport, Connecticut on July 1st. His summer concerts are slated to wrap up at Seatgeek Stadium on August 26th, though an October run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York is already on the books.

PHIL LESH & FRIENDS SET 2022 ITINERARY

Getty Images

Grateful Dead co-founder Phil Lesh has just announced 21 solo dates, which culminate in a nine-show residency at Port Chester, New York's Capitol Theatre. Lesh kicks off his 2022 dates on June 4th at Stanford, California's Frost Amphitheatre.

Backing Lesh on the road will be Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench , Phil's son, guitarist Grahame Lesh , drummer Joe Russo , and guitarists Scott Metzger and John Scofield .

Although Phil Lesh was part of the Grateful Dead's five 2015 "Fare Thee Well" concerts, he's been adamant to let the band be a thing of the past. As it's been no secret of disagreements amongst the surviving Dead members, we thought we'd ask drummer Mickey Hart why Lesh — who relies heavily on the Dead catalogue for his solo setlists — chose not to carry on the band's legacy with them: ["I have no idea. I have no contemplation of about that. . . I have no idea . I understand Phil is having a wonderful life and enjoying himself and enjoying himself and I'm happy for him — and so am I. And so it seems like we're all in a good place."] SOUNDCUE (:12 OC . . . a good place)

JUST ANNOUNCED: Phil Lesh & Friends tour dates ( subject to change ) :

June 4 – Stanford, CA – Frost Amphitheatre June 11 – Eugene, OR – Cuthbert Amphitheater June 12 – Redmond, WA – Marymoor Park June 16 Telluride, CO – Telluride Town Park June 17 – Bonner, MT – Kettlehouse Amphitheater July 1 – Bridgeport, CT – Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater July 4 – Asbury Park, NJ – Stone Pony July 8 – Lafayette, NY – Beak and Skiff Orchards July 9 – Marshfield, MA – Levitate Music Festival July 10 – Portland, ME – Thompson's Point July 17 – Morrison, CO – Red Rocks Amphitheatre (with The String Cheese Incident) August 26 – Bridgeview, IL – Sacred Rose Fest at SeatGeek Stadium October 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 31 – Port Chester, NY – The Capitol Theatre

Music | evacuation warning issued for big sur residents impacted by partial road collapse, music | review: phil lesh and friends kick off 2022 tour at stanford, phil’s friends include joe russo, john scofield, benmont tench.

The significance of the occasion seemed to be on all of our minds.

There we were at Stanford University’s lovely Frost Amphitheater — right in the midst of where it all it began for the Palo Alto-born Grateful Dead nearly 60 years ago — and we were watching 82-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Phil Lesh perform Dead tunes once again onstage.

It felt good. It felt right. It felt like going home.

And, really, it’s always felt that way at Frost — a venue that the Dead played 14 times during its career.

Just ask Lesh, who took to social media to share his enthusiasm about the return to Stanford.

“Going back to where it all began, a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago,” he posted earlier on Facebook. “I couldn’t be more excited to take this trip down to Palo Alto with my dear friends Grahame Lesh, Scott Metzger, Joe Russo, John Scofield and Benmont Tench.”

Yes, that was the amazing lineup for this Phil Lesh and Friends show. It looked good on paper — especially with the unexpected additions of jazz guitar legend Scofield and Tench, of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers fame — and it translated even better in concert.

The Frost concert served as the kickoff to Lesh’s 2022 tour, although upcoming dates won’t necessarily feature this same lineup of Friends.

Saturday’s show got off to a bit of a slow start, as the band offered up a “Truckin'” that never really got out of second gear and then stalled a bit in the jammed-out transition to “Playing in the Band.”

Yet, the joy was so tangible in the audience that nobody seemed to mind. Fans were too busy shouting along with iconic “Truckin'” line — “What a long strange trip it’s been” — and feeling the added poignancy from being back where said “long strange trip” began.

The group really began to jell with “St. Stephen” and the continued to find its footing as it rolled through “Uncle John’s Band” and “Sugar Magnolia” during the 80-minute first set.

The band loaded up on the hits so strongly — and in such a non-Dead-like manner — in the first set that it was almost like somebody had just dropped the needle on 1974’s “Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of Grateful Dead” and let it run. I was half expecting that the group would return from the set break and just play “Touch of Grey” seven times in a row and call it a night.

Thankfully, that’s not what was in store for fans. Instead, the group would open the second set with a cover of the Jerry Garcia solo number “Bird Song” (from 1972’s terrific debut “Garcia”) and then mix things up fairly well during the rest of the 90-minute second set.

Of course, Scofield drew the lion’s share of the attention when this Friends lineup was originally announced. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve previously worked with Miles Davis, Charles Mingus and so many other jazz masters. Tench also caught his share of eyes, with people wondering what this Heartbreaker might bring to the equation.

Both of them would shine mightily in the second set.

Tench added some punch to the psychedelic sounds, seasoning these Dead favorites with roadhouse grooves that drew from boogie-woogie, R&B and Southern rock.

Scofield was a bit tentative at times, especially in the first set. Yet, he’d absolutely soar during the second — especially during his breathtaking solo in “I Know You Rider” (played without its traditional “China Cat Sunflower” intro). He propelled that song to such heights that it simply towered over anything else the group would play on this night.

Overall, the show was dominated by the work of guitarist Metzger and drummer Russo. The former, in particular, was an absolute beast — wowing the crowd with one gorgeous lead after another. Plus, these two players share such wonderful synergy, which they’ve nurtured over the years as they’ve worked together in the popular Grateful Dead tribute act Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. It definitely makes one want to check out Russo’s Almost Dead when it performs at this same venue on Aug. 13, live.stanford.edu .

Lesh and his son Grahame handled most of the vocals throughout the night — and did so quite admirably — although Metzger also impressed with his Bob Weir-like vocals on “Let It Grow.”

The group closed the second set with a terrific run through the classic “Terrapin Station,” offering it up for what it truly is — “a rare and different tune.”

Phil Lesh and Friends return to play the Stern Grove Festival’s annual Big Picnic event on Aug. 14 in San Francisco. Admission to the concerts is free, but fans must reserve their spots in advance at sterngrove.org . The Friends lineup (i.e. band members) for that show have yet to be made be announced.

Phil Lesh & Friends Perform Rarity “The Eleven” at Frost Amphitheater Tour Opener

Photo by Marc Millman

On Saturday night, Phil Lesh & Friends opened up their summer tour at the fabled Frost Amphitheater on Stanford University’s campus in Palo Alto, Calif. The performance included Lesh’s son and Stanford alum Grahame Lesh, Scott Metzger, Joe Russo, John Scofield and Benmont Tench, performing several Grateful Dead classics and Lesh penned epics.

Before the main feature, Grahame and his band, Midnight North, took the stage to deliver a 45-minute set of music that included nine tunes, led by the bold vocal arrangement of Elliot Peck and Grahame. Despite being added to the bill late in the game, the mix of country, rock and blues was a welcomed addition to an evening. 

Then, the ensemble led by the Grateful Dead legend took the stage and began playing around with a trippy tease of “The Other One” before a full-on launch into the fan-favorite, “Truckin’” to kick off Lesh’s tour opener. Tench’s keys carried the tune till the end, leaving everyone in the arena feeling the music after a lively display by the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers virtuoso’s solo.    

“Playing in the Band,” a tune off Bobby Weir’s 1972 LP, Ace , was performed next. Then, the band ripped into the chords of “St. Stephen,” ahead of the Lesh and Robert Hunter composed rarity, “The Eleven.” Initially, when the Grateful Dead recorded their third studio LP, 1969’s Aoxomoxoa , they had intended to include “The Eleven,” after “St. Stephen,” but the pairing was bumped and later released on Live Dead , in late 1969.

The upbeat classic and overall fan favorite, “Uncle John’s Band,” followed the first set’s highlight. Then, when it seemed the band barely had a moment to pause and catch their breath, they started in on a smoking rendition of “Sugar Magnolia” to complete the first set of music. 

Set two got underway with the beauty of Jerry Garcia’s “Bird Song” dancing through Stanford University’s campus. “I Know You Rider,” a tune that dates back to the Grateful Dead’s earliest live performances, followed before the band picked up “Let It Grow” as a mid-set treat for concert-goers, with Metzger’s lively licks carrying the tune. Finally, they continued with “Eyes of the World,” providing the perfect opportunity for Russo to show off his abilities on the drum kit. 

“The Wheel,” another tune off Garcia’s self-titled 1972 album, arrived next and clocked in at just over 18-minutes. Then, the band fooled around with a “Tennesse Jed” tease. As their set closer, they picked up the perfect notes of “Lady With a Fan,” which of course, segued into “Terrapin Station” to close the second set of music. After teasing “Shakedown” during the first set, it only made send the ensemble land on the tune as their only encore. 

Following last night’s tour kick-off, Phil Lesh & Friends will abstain from the road until next Saturday, June 11, when they arrive in Eugene, Ore., for a concert at Cuthbert Amphitheater. There, Lesh will take the stage and perform alongside his son Grahame, Stu Allen, Steve Molitz and Tony Leone, before their third performance at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Wash., on June 13.

Additionally, later this summer, the Grateful Dead founding member will take the stage for a highly anticipated show at Bethel Woods in Bethel, N.Y., with The Midnight Ramble Band, on Aug. 20. Read more about the forthcoming performance here .

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

• Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

Traveler Reviews

This tour exceeded our expectations. Nikolai (Nick), our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, thorough, and has a great personality. He didn't take shortcuts and really covered everything that was on the agenda in great detail. We saw beautiful metro stations and learned the history behind them, including many of the murals and designs.

We did the tour with Anna her knowledge and understanding of the History surrounding the metro brought the tour alive. Well done Anna!
