Hey,
Im a long time lurker and only now checking in.
From NY...First Show Nassau Coliseum probably 1978. I was turned on to the Dead by a friend. Specifically it was Blues for Allah and even more specific was Help/Slip....I heard that and the next day I went out and bought a Carlo Robelli Bass. Seemed like the right thing to do. I have been playing ever since. All different stuff, but always coming back to the Dead.
I am wondering if there are enough interested bass players here that would like to dive into the inner workings of Phils Bass playing. Transcriptions of Phil are quite a challenge. I spend more time trying to understand where Phils ideas are coming from. Thought it might be fun to connect with other players or Phil enthusiasts. See where it leads.
Thanks to whoever organizes this place. I've used it an untold number of times for info.
