Watch Greensky Bluegrass Welcome Special Guest Phil Lesh In 2015

62

This date in 2015 was a big one for Michigan’s Greensky Bluegrass, who jammed with one of their idols – Phil Lesh – at the Grateful Dead bassist’s Terrapin Crossroads venue in San Rafael, California. Lesh came out towards the middle of the second set and jammed with the five-piece for the rest of the frame.

Lesh utilized his typical electric bass, while Greensky’s Mike Devol stuck with upright for double bass action throughout the sit-in. Phil and Greensky’s collaboration featured a mix of GSBG originals such as “All Four” and “Don’t Lie” along with Grateful Dead classics “Mr. Charlie,” “Black Muddy River” and “Franklin’s Tower.” The well-jammed “Don’t Lie” even hit upon “Eyes Of The World” before its conclusion.

Earlier in the evening, Greensky Bluegrass was joined by crew member Keith Kinnear on “Burn Them” during a first set that also included covers of the Dead’s “China Cat Sunflower” and “Midnight Rider” by The Allman Brothers Band. Greensky put a stamp on the evening with an encore of “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You” and “Goin’ Down The Road Feeling Bad.”
