Last August, Grateful Dead/Furthur bassist Phil Lesh made a surprise appearance at one of Levon Helm’s Midnight Rambles at The Band drummer’s studio in Woodstock, NY. Phil opened the night along with his sons performing a set of GD classics before sitting in for a few tunes on bass during Helm’s set. On June 17 Lesh will return to Plochmann Lane as Levon’s guest for what’s sure to be an amazing Ramble.

Perhaps Phil is doing some research for his Terrapin Landing project, where he hopes to hold events inspired and “blessed” by the Midnight Rambles. Unfortunately tickets sold out within minutes of going on sale. At last night’s Ramble, Warren Haynes opened with Warren, Danny Louis, Hook Herrera and Donald Fagen among the guests during the Levon Helm Band set.
