I’ve had the opening bass slide down that kicks off Scarlet Begonias/Cornell 1977 (I was a child lol) stuck in my head for days, my god what that must have felt like to see live. Rattled the bones, like a crack of thunder. I am sad.
- tkgally 2y agoThe Lesh bass line that sticks in my head is in "Me and Bobby McGee" from a show in Fresno in the summer of 1974 [1]. It's a simple three-chord country song, and the usual bass backing would be a straight oom-pah on the beat. But Phil was all over the place with syncopated counterpoint. I've listened to that recording dozens of times. [1] https://archive.org/details/gd74-07-19.sbd.symons.12381.sbeok.shnf https://archive.org/details/gd74-07-19.sbd.symons.12381.sbeo...
- threecheese 2y agoLove it, listening now. Here’s a great comment for that show (archive.org taper comments for one of the sources): > Phil's bass tone is just how I like it, nice and thick. :)
