Phil Lesh sat in with Midnight North at Charleston, SC’s Pour House last night. The Grateful Dead bassist joined the outfit–which features his son Grahame Lesh–for a portion of their early evening set on the venue’s outdoor deck set, including on “Viola Lee Blue.” The performance marked the elder Lesh’s first known show in the Charleston area since Furthur played the North Charleston Coliseum in April 2011.
The elder Lesh has been on the road with Midnight North this week and also sat in with the group for a few numbers in Nashville on Wednesday and in Asheville on Thursday. Midnight North’s tour will continue at Ardmore, PA’s Ardmore Music Hall on Wednesday, June 9.

June 8, 2021 at 6:31 amClassic indeed! Along with all the other songs Phil plays that I never heard the Dead play, like Golden Road, Cosmic Charlie, Mason’s, Born Cross-Eyed.
By the way, is that a typo? Isn’t it MRGA?

Least that’s what I was told when His Guy asked us to hold our tickets.
For a year and a half.

June 7, 2021 at 4:07 pmKeep your snarky comments to yourself. What father wouldn’t want to support his son’s music? Phil is a national treasure. He’s 81 and we should be thankful every time he plays. Midnight North is excellent with or without Phil.
Oh Mr. Smart Ass, what happens after we die. If you gave your liver to Phil you are commenting from beyond the grave.

June 6, 2021 at 3:56 pmI give Phil mad props for supporting his son, if ya dont dig his sons band than dont go/listen or comment. Whats the point in putting negative energy out there ? You bored or something ? Go out and see a band thats your cup of tea.
