Song Review(s): Phil Lesh Quintet - “Night of a Thousand Stars,” “New Speedway Boogie,” “Dear Mr. Fantasy” and “Shakedown Street” (Live, March 6, 2024)

A bunch of “Wheel” teases - that’s who the Phil Lesh Quintet are.

Taking the stage March 6 in New York, the band sung an a cappella section of the Grateful Dead number before rolling into “Night of a Thousand Stars” an original from its 2002 album, There and Back Again. A bit rushed, it was nevertheless a fine performance and a real treat to hear this long-neglected gem from Lesh’s small stable of self-penned material.

The same preference for sprightly tempos marked the version of “New Speedway Boogie” that followed on the band’s generous livestream sampler from the gig. Keyboardist Rob Barraco sung this one and the mid-song jam found the musicians slowly tearing the music apart, eventually devolving to the threads of formless, but not uninteresting, improvisation, before they pieced it back together for the final verse and a cappella conclusion.

A prime example of how post-Grateful, Dead music should be explored.

Warren Haynes was back on the mic for “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” another quickly paced number that found the singer engaging with fellow axeman Jimmy Herring in a thrilling inter-verse duel that continued until bassist Lesh and drummer John Molo nudged the Traffic song toward Jamaica and a reggae jam that eventually led to more vocals and the outro.

Haynes kept on singing when an atypically slow “Shakedown Street” emerged from the post-“Fantasy” silence. The song’s essential backgrounds were rough and the livestream faded before the track ended. Seemingly no great loss, given this “Shakedown” didn’t seem destined to seriously poke around, though Sound Bites’ll never know for sure.

No matter. In the nearly 55 minutes of music that the band gave away, it reinforced why its now-periodic reunions are so highly anticipated and why - when it was a going concern during the aughts - the PLQ was such a beloved institution.

open letter to syn sophia

dear mr. sophia,

[ask-sebastian]

FOUR.

Because fantasy and creativity in ANY universe has resulted in my favorite places and stories to escape into, and I'm happy to have accidentally stumbled into a community that feels the same:

I think I can speak for at least a few of us and say that we are happy you are here and even happier to be here with you. 🖤

And what a fucking tune! You know I will always associate this with you now.

For you, because whenever I hear it, I remember when @lil-grem-draws posted it, you commented about loving it.

Song Review: Dave Mason and Joe Bonamassa - “Dear Mr. Fantasy”

With a new minor-key arrangement, some oh yeahs, an ow! and other overwrought and unnecessary vocal asides, Dave Mason and Joe Bonamassa put a hurtin’ on “Dear Mr. Fantasy.”

Playing and singing with Bonamassa is, the former Traffic and Fleetwood Mac guitarist said, “as exciting to me as playing with Jimi Hendrix.”

Maybe that’s true, which seems unlikely. Maybe it’s marketing hyperbole, which seems realistic. In any event, the results are less exciting than listening to Hendrix, or Mason or even Bonamassa, whose always-over-the-top style is all over this trying-so-hard-to-be-cool-it’s-uncool retread.

“Working with Dave Mason was truly a dream come true,” Bonamassa said in a statement announcing this nightmarish redux.

Still wonder why everyone from the Grateful Dead to Los Lobos to Southern Culture on the Skids play “Fantasy” in a straight-minded way? Here’s your answer.
