Rest in Peace to Phil Lesh, bassist and founding member of the Grateful Dead.

3/15/40 to 10/25/24

Phil was the man and loved by many.

The jam band world honored him greatly, playing his songs, and celebrating his life in the days following his passing. Many performed his song, “Box of Rain” in his honor.

This is a place to collect Phil Lesh tributes, moments, and memories.

I’ll start with some tributes.

Phish – “Box of Rain” (Albany, NY 10/25/24)

It is a rarity for Phish to play a Grateful Dead song. Phil was a good friend of Trey Anastasio’s.
