Trey To Be Phil’s Friend Again?
Earlier this week we announced the return of music’s biggest dork: Phil Lesh has been nursed back to health and he’ll play two shows at SOB’s in New York. But who will be Phil’s friends for this homestand?
We got a clue today: It may be Big Red. One of Trey Anastasio’s backup singers announced on her MySpace page that she’ll be playing the Phil shows. Here’s the latest from Christina Durfee’s MySpace:
Christina will perform two very special intimate shows with Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh at SOB’s in New York City on Monday, April 9th and Tuesday, April 10th. Tickets are limited so be sure to visit Phillesh.net for complete show information!
Make it happen, Red, make it happen. I want another They Love Each Other. And, frankly, I want it right now.
Update: Our sources inside Crimson Dego’s camp tell us that there will be NO Trey at this show…but we’re keeping it up as a rumor because, hey, you never know.

That increased speculation that Big Red himself will be on stage with Phil, but now all signs are pointing to blues musician Larry McCray on at least one guitar spot. [...]
[...] So that makes two Larry guitars and a Durfee on back-up vocals. John Molo on drums or Larry Csonka? Rob Barracco on keys or Larry Hagman? No matter who shows up to play, though, I’m getting strangely excited for Tuesday… [...]
