Phil Lesh on Big Brown [View all]

I'm posting this video because this short little riff that Phil is playing on the bass has been stuck in my head for nearly 50 years. I first heard it when I viewed the Grateful Dead movie for the first time.

I hum this all the time while I am working on something. I'm not sure why.

I think that it is a bass line from the song "Morning Dew".

Video is two minutes, ten seconds.
