Finally a decent tribute to Phil...

I wonder why Rob wasn't included. 

That looks like more than a bit of alright.

They should take that on the road.

DSO has nothing scheduled between December 6th and the 23rd.  Rob must have other plans.  Jason is a good choice to sub-in.  With Donato there too, it looks like a good line-up.  STP probably puts on a good show too, though they've ever really been my cup of tea.

Will Grahame only be playing bass?  Maybe Oteil drops in and they can reprise the twin bass Cumby they did at the Polo Fields.

This year’s lineup will feature Lesh’s son, Grahame, performing alongside Haynes, Jimmy Herring, John Molo, and Jason Crosby.

“It would have been [Phil’s] Q quintet if Rob Barraco were available,” Haynes explained. “But Jason’s joining us, and I’m super excited. It’s a beautiful tribute to not only Phil, but to his spirit as part of so many Christmas Jams.”

Haynes also paid tribute to Lesh after his passing last year, calling him “one of the most open-minded musicians” he had ever known. The pair first teamed up in 1999 for a series of shows that turned into decades of collaboration through projects like The Dead and Phil Lesh & Friends.

“Phil always maintained that the music already existed — we just tapped into it,” Haynes recalled. “He was there for me when I lost my musical soulmate, Allen Woody. He knew what that kind of loss felt like.”
