Phil Lesh and Friends - St. Stephen (live at Bethel Woods Center For The Arts, July 9, 2006 — the enitre show is legally downloadable for free at that link)
I like modern jam bands, but could never get into the Grateful Dead. Fortunately, they have a lot of great cover bands. Here’s a great 12-minute jam that’s loosely related to the Grateful Dead song, St. Stephen. (It starts slow. Give it time.)
Reblogged because this is a great song. But also to add, Phil and Friends isn’t a “Dead cover band”. Phil was the bassist for the GD and his career has continued to flourish since. St. Stephen (written by Robert Hunter) is as much Phil’s as it is anybody’s.
