Phil Lesh & Friends Live at the Warfield
Phil Lesh & Friends Live at the Warfield — Help On The Way [4:37]
Shot over two nights in May 2006 at San Francisco’s venerable Warfield Theater, the concert film presents founding Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh leading his own band reinterpreting choice songs from the Dead’s songbook. For these shows Lesh’s band included guitarists John Scofield (a veteran of Miles Davis’ band), Larry Campbell (ten years on the road with Bob Dylan), Grammy winning vocalist Joan Osborne, jazz saxophonist Greg Osby, and longtime Phil Lesh & Friends band members Rob Barraco on keyboards and John Molo on drums. Utilizing nine cameras and state of the art recording technology, filmmakers Jay Blakesberg and Bob Sarles captured the band, the music, the fans and ambience at these magical shows. Included as bonus material in the DVD package are a backstage rehearsal, a jazz jam with Phil Lesh, John Scofield, Greg Osby, and John Molo, and a conversation with Lesh, Scofield and Osby about the art of improvisation. Relix Records will simultaneously be releasing a two CD set with music from the same shows not represented on the DVD. Included with the CD set will be a DVD with bonus materials including a performance of the Phil Lesh song Passenger, not seen on the DVD set.
