Also a fan of TC's playing. I was lucky enough to see him play with the Dead four times. Many years later I had the privilege of playing two gigs with him. Nice guy, smart and definitely a trip to speak to even if you get lost along the way trying to follow his train of thought. Performing Mountains of the Moon with him remains a highlight of my years playing Dead music.
The piano piece on the archive indicates exactly why he was brought in to work on Anthem of the Sun and both pieces as an aggregate show that Phil was the original guy keeping it weird in the Dead.
Phil will be giving his Alembic a serious workout at the Capitol Theater tonight.
