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!

Grahame Lesh joined Dead and Company, playing one of Phil Lesh’s famous instruments, the bass known as Big Brown, in a heartfelt rendition of his late father’s signature song, Box of Rain.
Not many dry eyes. We miss Phil so much, and this was such a sweet tribute.
Grahame Lesh has been leading the Heart of Town shows across town at Pier 48, with one more show tonight, Saturday August 2, starting at 10, after the Dead and Company show today. Heart of Town is also part of the Grateful Dead GD60 celebration taking place all over San Francisco, and the world.

Unbroken Chain
Lyrics:Bobby Petersen Music:Phil Lesh
Blue light rain, whoa, unbroken chain Looking for familiar faces in an empty window pane Listening for the secret, searching for the sound But I could only hear the preacher and the baying of his hounds
Willow sky, whoa, I walk and wonder why They say love your brother but you will catch it when you try Roll you down the line boy, drop you for a loss Ride out on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross
November and more as I wait for the score They’re telling me forgiveness is the key to every door A slow winter day, a night like forever Sink like a stone, float like a feather
Lilac rain, unbroken chain Song of the Saw-Whet owl Out on the mountain it’ll drive you insane Listening to the winds howl
Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls Unbroken chain of sky and sea Unbroken chain of the western wind Unbroken chain of you and me
