Not Fade Away Phil Lesh and Friends with Bob Weir Grahame Lesh, Ross James, Danny Eisenberg, Tim Carbone, John Skeehan, Andy Goessling (RIP), Jaz Sawyer
I have been reveling in the joy that is the #terrapinnation this weekend, at the Terrapin Roadshows San Rafael; I ♥ the Terrapin Family Band so much, and am grateful for the love they bring!
And remembering earlier days, back when this ride began.. fourteen years ago in the bar at TxR, with Phil, Bob… & Grahame & Ross, & Danny E. too! I saw all three of those guys yesterday playing at the Roadshow! Plus Tim and John and Andy from Railroad Earth… Pure magic!
This was the end of set 1 on March 11, 2012, the fourth and final night of the Terrapin Crossroads legendary “soft opening” weekend. I have so many stories from this night alone, and thousands more from shows that followed (and videos too!). No time to tell right now*, but at least enjoy THIS ride! Not fade away!!!
*I’m off to Night 3 of the Terrapin Roadshow San Rafael. Terrapin Family Band with Nicki Bluhm, and it’s Stu Allen’s turn as special guest, and more!
