May the four winds blow you home again.

Ah fuck. Always my favorite.
The boom slide in 77 was beyond cosmic.
RIP Phil, and thank you.

But when Phil sang…that was joy.

Sad passing.
“ some kind of genre-busting rainbow polka-dot hybrid mutation”
That’s just about exactly perfect.
Thanks for showing us the way Phil. Gonna listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul, forever.
Classic

It goes back decades. There is a vid of Phil, Jerry & Bob in practice and Phil has to scold Bob for fucking up. Likely around the time the early [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]s when Bob almost got kicked out of the band. I’ll try and locate it.
I like the end of Bobby's tribute to Phil:
here's the whole thing:Quote:
Meanwhile, given that death is the last and best reward for a life *well and fully lived*, I rejoice in his liberation...”
Bob Weir
Quote:
“At the age of seventeen, I listened to the John Coltrane Quartet, focusing on McCoy Tyner’s work, feeding Coltrane harmonic and rhythmic ideas to springboard off of - and I developed an approach to guitar playing based off of it. This happened because Phil turned me on to the Coltrane Quartet.
Early on, he also introduced me (and us) to the wonders of modern classical music, with its textures and developments, which we soon tried our hands at incorporating into what we had to offer. This was all new to peoples’ ears. Igor Stravinsky’s work wasn’t news to me at that point, but what he did and how he did it were ongoing topics of discussion for Phil and I - and boy, did I ever grow.
Concurrent with all this was the ongoing conversation about the things (ideas) we present outside of music, and the effect it would have in shaping the world around us - let’s just say Phil wasn’t particularly averse to ruffling a few feathers. We had our differences, of course, but it’s not platitudinous to say that that only made our work together more meaningful.
Our conversation and interaction will last, at very least, ‘til the end of my days.
The Muse gives us the people and tools to work with. Where we go with that work emerges from somewhere between our intuition and her inspiration. It’s a process always cloaked deep in Mystery, and at its best, the Mystery is forever lasting after its rendering. *Look out of any window…* has that ring to it.
Meanwhile, given that death is the last and best reward for a life *well and fully lived*, I rejoice in his liberation...”
Bob Weir
on yesterday’s Tales From The Golden Road show there was a caller who taught a course on the Dead at Duke, and he and his wife were at an event with Phil for one of Phil’s foundations. His wife, who was not a big Deadhead, apparently asked Phil about why so many of the Dead’s fans took drugs, and Phil replied thusly:
“What did the Deadhead say when he ran out of weed? A: What is this shitty music?”
As they said on the show, it’s a perfect demonstration of Phil’s (and the whole band’s) self-effacing, not-taking-yourself-too-seriously, humble attitude about their success. We shan’t see his like again…
. I case you don't know.
This song will be play at my funeral.

^^^ Awesome! Phil was dropping bombs in ‘59… made me smile. Thanks
Also, Phil would like to simply ask that you turn to someone you love, and who loves you, and let them know that if anything happens to you, that you’d like to be an Organ Donor. :wink::smile:
Wow. Like.Quote:
