GRATEFUL DEAD - Fallout From The Phil Zone (1997)

VBR

"Fallout From The Phil Zone" is a two-disc collection of live tracks compiled by Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, primarily from the late 1960s and early 1970s. While the Grateful Dead may have always claimed to be a band of musical equals--a truth in theory only - Deadheads regard bassist Phil Lesh as the second biggest cat in the jungle. After all, within the band's hierarchy of improvisers, only guitarist Jerry Garcia could affect the music's path with more vigor, confidence and psychological power. Lesh's hippie-jazz anything-goes spirit, such a large component of his playing, can also be spotted on this collection of live Dead nets compiled by the bassist, and spanning the band's thirty-year existence. What you get is an extended sonic assault (a feedback-laden "Viola Lee Blues") coexisting with an electric R&B romp (Pigpen & Garcia roaring through Otis Redding's "Hard To Handle"), and timeless Dead garage-noodling (a half-hour's worth of "Midnight Hour" from the same 1967 show whose own "Viola Lee Blues" bore the first seeds of "Dark Star") beside mournful Garcia readings of folk songs old (the traditional "Jack A Roe") and new (Dylan's "Visions of Johanna"). PHIL ZONE sounds like Lesh's own family album of recordings, attempting to show the entire clan on two discs.
