>>>Is Jason Crosby a member of the Family Band or does he take it outside that?
im not as up to snuff on the happenings at TXR as other folks might be, but afaik crosby has ususally been a special guest with the family band, although he may have been in it without any special guest billing a few times. lots of shows under other names with the same general lineup.
some family band type lineups have gotten billed as PLF, but never one this close to the straight up family band. usually i have seen PLF lineups with most/all of the family band and a bigger name guest or two that is not a typical TXR regular. i dont recall ever seeing family band + one usual TXR regular as PLF before.
If they bill it as "Supah Shugga Lipz" w/ Phil Lesh they will still sell as many tixx. It's just a Lark, really. Winter vacation on Maui and catch a show or two.
I think it's Nice that Phil can call any other musicians "Friends" if he feels like it.
Phil could organize some unique & ground-breaking Hawaii lineup if he felt like it. The current Family-PLF-Band is comfortable enough for a Chill Winter break, few rounds of Golf, bit of Snorkeling.
I bet he, Band and the audience will enjoy their vacation and watch a few Whales. Certainly if I lived near Seattle, PDX or SFO I might find a cheap plane ticket and check it out, but I would prefer DNB shows.
I love Phil but this seems like a nice family vacation paid for by his phans. Something feels wrong about it. "Hey phreaks, come see my family band play Switzerland/Fiji/Paris" But its his show, i cant afford it even if the band did interest me...but have fun if you do go!
Did the show last year - delayed honeymoon, met friends, never did Hawaii, blah-blah-blah...why not???
Saw them NYE in Honolulu - the venue was in an area with some cool bars and The Hawaii Theatre is a really cool place - struck me like a Tower Theatre in set-up and architecture - sound good from up top, not great
The place did not appear even half packed and seemed mostly filled with locals (of course), some clearly not DeadHeads - had as lot of room to move wihich was awesome
It was a blast seeing Phil for the first time on a New Years run since PLF 2005 (yes, The Ryan Adams year)
The setlist was nice and the playing was really good, at times terrific and I went with no defined expectation (had never seen much of the Phamily Band) except to have a blast - they were tight and individually played well (although tough to be happy with the drumming when my standard has been Molo or Russo)
Tough sell for me to do it again from Philly given the cost and effort but would recommend it to those on the West Coast - I mean, it is Phil...

If Phil Lesh's management company offered you a plane ticket, hotel room and $300 to play Marimba for the Maui tour, would you go ??
I would certainly do it. However, I would take Marimba lessons first.

Crosby is an official member of the Family Band, and this is indeed that lineup, so it is correct that this is the TFB under the P&F moniker.
