Phil Lesh replaces John Kahn on bass...Here is Springblown's account of this night: Personally, I've always thought the '81/'82 incarnation of the JGB was the best ever: Garcia of course, plus Melvin Seals on organ, Jimmy Warren on electric piano/clavinet, Daoud Shaw (former Van Morrison musician) on drums, his then wife, former Mother of Invention, Essra Mohawk on backing vocals (in my opinion, the best vocalist Jerry ever employed... and an amazing singer/songwriter in her own right, and Liz Stires, also on backing vocals. Now, how about this for you? The one and only Phil Lesh sat in for John Kahn on bass this evening! I don't have the tape right here in front of me, so I won't mention the song list -- I forget it actually! -- but let me just say that every song has that something extra that makes for an amazing performance. Perhaps it was Phil pushing Jerry a little furthur. Perhaps it was the combo of Seals and Warren on organ and electric piano that provided some extra oomph. Or, perhaps it was just the product of extremely tight ensemble playing with *GREAT* vocals; accented by some superb harmonizing by Liz and Essra (especially Essra). Perfect example: Essra's scatting improvisations during the guitar solos within "I'll Take A Melody." Fantastic!!!
