Sadly the “shift” you speak of is why we are in the mess we are in today. The social/sexual revolution was communist backed, in funds and ideology. I’ve seen Phil play many times but it does not negate what I said which is facts.
It’s not that I was less sad when Jerry died, but the loss of Phil really seals the door on that scene. Losing Bobby will also, but I’m particularly bummed about Phil. R.I.P.🌞🌹
Bobby is the 'Estimated Prophet' and as the 'youngest' of the original Grateful Dead members, I have a feeling he'll outlive Bill and Mickey. RIP Phil, Brent, Jerry, Pigpen, Keith, etc.
I usually always gravitated in front of Jerry/Bobby mics. One night at Oakland, front row Philzone he THUMPED us all so damn hard the floor literally shook. I best remember him just grinning, loving bombing us with his magic. With love to all who got to see and feel, the greatest band beyond description.
One of the greatest bass players, always seemed to be "on" with band. He was reason the band was successful,but did it without fanfare or ego. Love Phil
Poor Craig never made it to a show😥🚫🎶 Fare you WELL, Phil - we've loved you more than words can tell. Float like a feather now & enjoy your time with Jerry💙 🤍🌉🎶🎸🎤🌠🪶✨ THANK YOU
interviews with both Phil and Jerry are riveting for different reasons. Phil is very thoughtful; Jerry’s “just” a guy who loves to play. and I loved Phil‘s book, every time he talked about a show, I found myself dialing it up on Relisten/Archive to (re)live the sound.
Thanks for posting this. I think he would be the most likely member of the Grateful Dead that I would get along with. A friend asked me one time if I would like to meet Jerry Garcia, and I told him it would depend on the circumstance. If it were just to shake hands and tell him how great he was or some other gushing drivel, no. If I would have something to do with him, like jam or get a mini-guitar lesson, definitely. It would have to be something organic, the result of something that brought us together. This of course never happened. We have the people in our lives that we have by living. I saw the Dead six times, am forever grateful for the experience. It's great to see Phil Lesh in an interview. He is a great bass player, plays like Jerry. I know the band from a distance, which is good enough for me.
Probably my favorite rock bassist. He inches out Casady and Bruce. Phil is the loosest of them all and still never misses a beat. He creates space with sound, whole vistas for the others to fill with details.
Craig was in no way expecting Phil to be so intelligent. He was expecting to make fun of a stoner hippie. He got an articulate artist and looked like an ass.
Whats the name of the book? I grew up in the Bay but I never became a DeadHead until last week when I did 4 tabs and watched the Grateful Dead movie, now I can't stop listening to them.
@@skinnybuddha8988 Phil’s book is my favorite of any book ever written about the band. He always seemed the most level headed, the Dad, of the band. Not to mention he’s a very intellectual, fascinating guy and an excellent writer taboot. Definitely check out ‘Searching for the Sound’ if you want what’s always seemed to me the most down-the-middle, unbiased (as one person can be) account of the whole story of it all from start to still unfinished. He does a great job of providing the cultural context of their shared story of cosmic synchronicities that make the whole thing feel ‘meant to be’ on some higher, esoteric level.
I love how far ahead Phil is in front of Craig’s questioning. One did loads of drugs, helped create endless inspired musicality and tells the tale and the other likes the sound of his own voice.
@@VCT3333 Craig was deep into alcohol and cocaine. That's a whole different world from cannabis and psychedelics. The trouble with sobered-up drunks and coke/smack junkies is that they tend to think ALL substances are the same, and that's simply not true.
Well, Phil was also hooked on opioids so hard he had a guy that would go on tour with him to make sure no one would pass him shit during preshow meet and greets with fans. Don’t begrudge him that one bit. Addiction is a disease, and no one really wants it, it just creeps up on you. Doesn’t diminish his genius by one iota.
I've been listening to, studying & have been fascinated with his bass work, style & technique for years. This is the first time I've ever seen him speak. Finally, The Man behind the bass. Seems like a really cool fellow.🎵🎵
Man, I was so excited to see this pop up! As a longtime fan of Craig Ferguson and the Dead - especially Phil - I thought this would be a fantastic, thoughtful, interesting conversation, but alas. This is unfortunately VERY early in his tenure on the Late Late Show (2005 is his first year hosting it) and it seems he hadn't yet hit his stride or found his own personal voice, and was still trying to emulate his boss David Letterman at this point. Craig is uncharacteristically shallow here; he's a smart, incredibly insightful guy but regrettably he was just working the cheap jokes (again, like Letterman) that night. Four years later, Ferguson won a prestigious Peabody Award (the broadcast equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize) for his interview with Desmond Tutu; I wish we could have had that version of Craig's show when Phil was a guest.
Phil is a worthy rockstar to be proud of. Phil changes the game still to this day. Id also like to note that he is the most accurate and articulate musician in the band.. Phil is a professor in another dimension....
At one of my favorite GD concerts in between songs we all were shouting, "We want Phil! We want Phil!" After a moment Phil says, "Well alright; just this once." And he sang "Tom Thumb".
Sit down and meditate during the come up (200ug or 150ug is all you really need) listening to Bach or Mozart, and do it in nature during daytime. Did this on my first time and i saw it, we're One being with many forms. Twas beautiful. Changed my life. Lsd is not a party drug
@@devildoll9929 ive had x and molly, i feel they just get you excited and really talkative to be around others, like a really long cocaine high. Lsd also has that energetic feeling but more introspective
@@muddywaters4771 Well, you're never going to be able to predict how these illicit drugs will make you feel because they're often cut with something, usually speed, even strychnine. Here in Colorado, which voted to make possession of hallucinogens legal last midterm elections, that problem may go away a tiny bit. The next step is for the state to allow legal sales of hallucinogens, probably in the marijuana dispensaries that have so proliferated in the last decade. Little by little, Colorado is becoming more like Amsterdam, except for the legal brothels.
Phil is the coolest.. I was literally a kid in the 60's and grew up in the 70's, so never really a hippie. But I still see vestiges of the 60's in society today, though I think it's more unconcious than known. Craig tried to send him up...and failed. Great interview!
Phil Lesh is a grand gentleman with tons of class, who has contributed so much to the world of music. This interviewer, on the other hand, is a classless tool who clearly doesn’t get it and asks inane, disrespectful questions.
@@gdgbjbfgcbjn Actually, he is rated second only to Johnny Carson, and has a cult following here on YT. But he is definitely an acquired taste, and was quirky and new back then. If you feel like giving him a second chance, take a look at the Britney Spears monologue.
Brilliant bass player owes a ton to both mingus and scott lafaro. That said- they let Jerry implode by not stopping the touring as they did in mid 70’s. Would it have made the difference? Who knows. Unlikely that it helped
I remember watching this when it aired, I'd bought his book just a couple days before. He came to town for a book signing a month later where they made you buy the book, so then I had two copies. Then somebody gave me a copy a few years later as a gift. I only have the signed copy now though. I met Weir that week, too, in an unrelated incident.
Poor Craig never made it to a show😥🚫🎶 Fare you WELL, Phil - we've loved you more than words can tell. Float like a feather now & enjoy your time with Jerry💙 🤍🌉🎶🎸🎤🌠🪶✨ THANK YOU, from a Marin County native🧡🎶
Phil- thanks for the sonic boom on the Friday night sound check At Watkins Glenn. All the Wharf creatures heard that one. Very talented man. Nice interview. Sad the hostilities never quite seemed to clear between Phil and old friends.
Got my 2(!) Copies of his book for a dollar apiece from Dollar Tree back in 2005! Love that book. I bought one copy, read it to shreds and went out and bought a second, pristine copy, for the bookshelf. Phil and Jerry were great!
They crest until about '72, then it's all denouement, though they still made some fantastic new stuff throughout the Seventies. Jerry once said famously, "If you didn't see us in '68, you missed us."
What he said about it being alive and well, when I saw Dead & Company in Hersheypark going to shakedown first, and then the way that stadium is built and just the vibe of community that was there and everybody loving the dead. You really felt like you were back in time.
Craig ferguson sounded like he was trying let Phil know Im right on you after every question it seemed like craig was eyeballing him, watching with an eagles eye on every answer like he was critiquing him and if he gave a just off answer it was very cold and intimidating, even toward the end he never really gave him any warmth or kindness or real friendliness at the very end when he just shook his hand and looked the other way.
he's clearly a sad man that knows phil has something he'll never have. Inner love. These people are low vibration and feed off negative energy they create in others. Small pathetic man with a pathetic little ego. Phil gave him NOTHING to work with. Lovely guy.
Bummed he didn't really ask about the book - I gotta track that down. I think I like Craig interviewing young ladies and that energy that bounces back and forth in those segments.....
Thanks to Phil I was able to be backstage for many a show. He was generous and thanks to him my many years of being a Dead Head only got better with time.
Hey there, we're collecting all the episodes of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Do you happen to have the full episode of this interview? or any other episodes?
Deadheads change the world and Craig helped wish Phil would have given a nod to Bill Walton. Garcia once opened a show with this line for Bill and his friends. This one’s for you Larry this is how we light up an arena
Never considered myself a Dhead but I did drive a cab in Oakland and picked up my share of them. He worked at KPFA ( est. 1949) which I think changed a lot of things. Here is something else out of Berkeley, Oh Happy Day : th-cam.com/video/EfGDvDGE7zk/w-d-xo.html I'm not religious but it is a great song.
Thank you, Phil, for helping to shift this planet. We miss you already 💙
Rest in peace, a legend.
Days Between ❤

Like Jehova’s favorite choir!
I'll be one of the Dead fans who simply wants to say, "THANK YOU."
Thank you
This might be strange…But I love getting stoned (on weed) and listening to the Dead while mowing the lawn
Yep
Not strange at all
I did it for years
Bro I do the exact same thing 😂
+1
Is there another way to do it?
Thanks, Phil, for blowing our minds and filling our hearts along with the others in the Dead.
“Is she ok?” 🤣
The best!
He cares about the family
I could have lived without the first minute of this video 😵💫
Not if you wanted to see the rest....
@@ClevelandLiveMusic It's called "skipping ahead."

Craig was usually better
@@ClevelandLiveMusic Much better. He just misjudged.
I think Craig just wanted to joke around and Phil was actually trying to have a conversation.
Not an ass! A scotsman making a friend!
Totally!! This is why Phil doesn’t come out and interview, thumbs down on Craig Ferguson not ahead at all. Hope to not watch anymore Craig interviews
Weir Everywhere ... Thank You
for being there, dear Phil Lesh
🥀🌹💀🌹 Rest Your Soul in Peace
Craig: kind of a sarcastic dick here. Phil : happy, enthusiastic, full of spirit. Thank you, Phil. 💜
Ha! That was amazing! I loved Phil's reaction to Craig's suggestion that he'd heard that there were drugs involved with the Grateful Dead! Hilarious!
Phil is 80 years old !!!! love Phil. Read his book its really good.

Craig is a talk show comedian… he’s just here doing his thing, while Phil is there to promote his book . Hero worship is mostly a bad look .

This is the first time I've ever seen him speak.
Finally, The Man behind the bass.
Seems like a really cool fellow.🎵🎵
Don't forget the wristband Man!!!!!!!!
@@haveaniceday5693 The wristband is the secret to nailing Phil’s bass tone
He's a huge classical music fan.
Met most of the boys - Phil would actually engage in conversation - a nice human indeed
Craig Ferguson was in over his head, with Phil, and it appears that he knew it.
I listened to this audiobook from a library whilst homeless in Sweden in 2010. It made me proud to be American

Not with the geek Ferguson interviewing. Any closer and he would be on Phil's lap. I think he just did that so that HE would always be in the frame.

The Dead and ISD changed my life for the better!
I always personally always thought that the Grateful Dead’s earlier work was a lot better than their later stuff. Now it all makes sense.
They crest until about '72, then it's all denouement, though they still made some fantastic new stuff throughout the Seventies. Jerry once said famously, "If you didn't see us in '68, you missed us."
As a deadhead for over 55 years, personally I've always thought their most provocative song was Unbroken Chain, by Phil
What he said about it being alive and well, when I saw Dead & Company in Hersheypark going to shakedown first, and then the way that stadium is built and just the vibe of community that was there and everybody loving the dead. You really felt like you were back in time.

haven't seen that much Craig Ferguson, maybe a dozen interviews
enough to wonder if this is the only time Craig ever raised the topic of social change
RIP Phil Lesh
19 years later, and those 4 surviving founding members are still alive. 👍
Sadly, until this past week. RIP, Phil!
I want to thank Phil for 1974.
My favorite year of Grateful Dead music.
Haha well said.
alembic meets wall of sound bombs away!
Technically, Phil answered that wrong: there are Three founding members alive, the fourth Mickey Hart joined the band around September 67!
He’s “old school” California
An enjoyable and thought provoking read. The host comes across as impatient.
Thanks to Phil I was able to be backstage for many a show. He was generous and thanks to him my many years of being a Dead Head only got better with time.
My favorite book about the Dead
Early Craig.. a few years later I think this would have been a much more generative conversation
Sweet!!!
Searching for the secret.
Listening for the sound.
Fare thee well brother Phil. 💀🥀
