Phil Lesh Celebrates 78th Birthday at The Capitol Theatre (A Gallery)
Phil Lesh continued his birthday run at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, last night, celebrating his 78th with The Terrapin Family Band and special guests guitarist John Scofield. The night featured a number of Grateful Dead classics, plus covers of Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, New Riders of the Purple Sage and Funkadelic. Before the second set, Lesh was presented with a birthday cake from venue owner Peter Shapiro, and the Port Chester Fire Department made the bassist an honorary member and gave him a Dead-themed fireman’s helmet to mark the occasion. Bill Kelly shared some photos from the night.
