Video: Phil Lesh Quintet to Return to Forest Hills Stadium; Watch 2001 Performance
The Capitol Theatre and Madison House Presents will host a special Phil Lesh and Friends show on September 21 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Forest Hills, NY. The bassist will bring The Q to New York City for the first time since 2003, welcoming Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Rob Barraco and John Molo, the longest running incarnation of Phil Lesh & Friends. Tickets to the show are on sale via the Capitol Theatre website.
In November of 2013, Lesh and Capitol Theatre proprietor (and Relix publisher) Peter Shapiro signed a deal that secured the Grateful Dead bassist for 44 shows exclusively at Shapiro’s venues as well as venues he is affiliated with including the Capitol Theatre, Brooklyn Bowl New York, Brooklyn Bowl London, Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas and the Lockn’ Festival in Arrington, VA.
