Mike Gordon on Phil Lesh: ‘There’s Never Been More Beautiful Bass Playing’
Phil Leshis one ofMike Gordons biggest heroes. Gordon, the bassist forPhish, became aware of theGrateful Deadin high school and soon zoned in on Lesh. I thought Phil was the most unique part of the Grateful Dead. Lesh (far left), with Gordon and Trey Anastasio of Phish in 1999Jay Blakesberg/Retro Photo Archive Phil didnt have any of those allegiances. He avoided them all. Do you ever gush a little too hard?...
