Phil Lesh's return to New York saw the appearance of Friends old and new and an apparent homage to a Friend who never showed. At the Beacon Theater leg of his New York stint, Warren Haynes and Trey Anastasio replaced Barry Sless on separate nights, joining Lesh, Rob Baracco, Larry Campbell, Jeff Sipe and Joan Osbourne to jam on Grateful Dead classics and assorted classic rock staples. Though rumored to sit in with Lesh, Ryan Adams only appeared in spirt with Lesh playing numerous Adams songs on his opening night.
After a night off, Lesh and Friends move down the road for a weekend run at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
