Phil Lesh - June/July 2002 Relix Issue

The June/July 2002 Relix Issue features our Phil Lesh cover story and much more! Phil Lesh is thankful to be alive. After having a liver transplant, Lesh's spirit and creativity have been rejuvenated. With his first ever solo album, appropriately titled There and Back Again, Lesh kicks back with Rich Simon and talks about life, the Dead and the album's recording process. When The Grateful Dead folded in 1995, bassist Phil Lesh was happy to be able to spend some time at home with his kids. But the music wouldn't let him rest. He started doing benefit shows as Phil Lesh and Friends, playing Dead tunes with various Bay Area musicians. Eventually, guitarist Bob Weir, drummer Mickey Hart, pianist Bruce Hornsby and Lesh regrouped as The Other Ones, and in 1998 they toured with guitarists Steve Kimock and Mark Karan, jazz sax whiz Dave Ellis, and drummer John Molo, to great success.

This issue also includes articles on LARRY, Rich Simon, Tenacious D, Galactic, Phish, and Trey Anastasio, David Lindley, David Gans, and more!
