NYT: Phil Lesh, Bassist Who Anchored the Grateful Dead, Dies at 84
Phil Lesh, whose expansive approach to the bass as a charter member of the Grateful Dead made him one of the first performers on that instrument in a rock band to play a lead role rather than a supporting one, died on Friday. He was 84.
His death was announced on his Instagram account. No further information was provided.
In addition to providing explorative bass work, Mr. Lesh sang high harmonies for the band and provided the occasional lead vocal. He also co-wrote some of the band’s most noteworthy songs, including ones that inspired adventurous jams, like “St. Stephen” and “Dark Star," as well as more conventional pieces, like “Cumberland Blues,"“Truckin'" and “Box of Rain."
