[edit] Classic lineup

cut this (by 24.18.133.24 ) from the article text:

They should take down the picture of Phil and Trey. Trey only played a couple of shows with Phil Lesh. The true "classic" P&F line-up is Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, John Molo (drums) and Rob Barraco (keys) and of course, Phil Lesh on his famous six-string modulus bass. That line-up lasted the longest, 2000-03, and re-energized many fans who thought that "Dead music is dead".


You can't just decide which lineup is definitive. Trey Anastasio was the first guitarist (along with Steve Kimock) to perform with the official Phil Lesh and Friends band, which officially became an active group (sans a few special one-offs previously) in 1999 following Phil's surgery. To say that Jimmy and Warren are supposedly the ones that helped rediscover Dead music, well......... a) conduct a study and prove it, and b) that's just plain stupid

[edit] Jerry Garcia

how about taking jerry garcia off the former band members list? that's just disrespectful

According to the Philzone.com fan site, "the very first Phil Lesh and Friends" concert was on September 24, 1994, and the lineup was Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, and Vince Welnick. To see this, go to http://www.philzone.com/, click on "setlists", click on "1954 - 1998", and scroll down to "9/24/94". On the other hand, should this really count as a Phil Lesh and Friends show? The next one listed is 2/27/98. Mudwater (Talk) 23:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
