Phil Lesh & Friends featuring guitarist Trey Anastasio and keyboardist Page McConnell of Phish kicked off their landmark three-night run at The Warfield in San Francisco on this date in 1999. Guitarist Steve Kimock and drummer John Molo rounded out the lineup of one of the most memorable collaborations the jam world has seen.
The shows also marked Lesh’s return after undergoing liver transplant surgery. The April 15 concert kicked off with Phil and his sons Brian And Grahame Lesh performing Eric Clapton’s “Hello Old Friend” as a fitting first song back for Phil. The five-piece then showed off its firepower with a 34-minute “Viola Lee Blues.”
