Grateful Dead icon Phil Lesh and Friends, with Joe Russo, John Scofield and more, performed at Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University.
The band loaded up on the hits so strongly — and in such a non-Dead-like manner — in the first set that it was almost like somebody had just dropped the needle on 1974’s “Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of Grateful Dead” and let it run. I was half expecting that the group would return from the set break and just play “Touch of Grey” seven times in a row and call it a night.
Of course, Scofield drew the lion’s share of the attention when this Friends lineup was originally announced. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve previously worked with Miles Davis, Charles Mingus and so many other jazz masters. Tench also caught his share of eyes, with people wondering what this Heartbreaker might bring to the equation.
As the tour progresses, and Scofield gets more accustomed to the material, look for those kinds of awe-inspiring moments to happen more frequently in the set.
