That ’70s Show – Phil Lesh and Friends Wake From The Flood @ Montclair’s Wellmont

Phil and Friends’ brief tour of the NYC area kicked off last night at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, New Jersey where the Grateful Dead/Furthur bassist and his band tipped their hat to the damages from Hurricane Sandy by performing the Grateful Dead’s Wake Of The Flood in its entirety as the first set.
