Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band hit the stage at Red Rocks on Wednesday, May 29, offering two sets of Dead tunes and other covers, and even welcoming members of openers The Infamous Stringdusters throughout the show.
Lesh and company opened their performance with a rousing "Bertha," and later invited guitarist Andy Falco and fiddler Jeremy Garrett for a mid-set "Cumberland Blues."
The band's second set was bookended by "Mountains of the Moon" (featuring banjoist Chris Pandolfi ) and a classic pairing of "China Cat Sunflower"> "I Know You Rider." Between those jams, Lesh and The Terrapin Family Band offered "Eyes of the World" with Andy Hall of the Stringdusters on dobro, as well as a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" and the Dead's "Throwing Stones" sandwiched within a wide-ranging "St. Stephen."
The highlight of the show came with the encore, as Lesh and the entire Terrapin Family Band welcomed the full roster of The Infamous Stringdusters for a beautiful "Terrapin Station."
