On Friday (Jan. 31), the MusiCares Individuals Of The Yr charity gala celebrated the Grateful Lifeless. The band’s Mickey Hart and Bob Weir have been readily available, and with Lifeless & Firm they carried out “Althea,” “Sugar Magnolia,” and “Contact Of Gray.”
On the Los Angeles Conference Middle, different performers included the Conflict On Medicine, Vampire Weekend, John Mayer, Zac Brown, Noah Kahan, Maren Morris, Billy Strings, the Conflict And Treaty, My Morning Jacket, Stewart Copeland, Mick Fleetwood, Sammy Hagar, Norah Jones, Wynonna Judd, Lukas Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Sierra Ferrell, Maggie Rose, and Bruce Hornsby who was as soon as a touring member of the Lifeless. (Earlier this week it was introduced scheduled performer Dave Matthews couldn’t make it as a consequence of a household emergency.) Famous Lifeless fan Andy Cohen served as host.
Tune choices final evening included “Field Of Rain” (the Conflict On Medicine), “Scarlet Begonias” (Vampire Weekend), “Good friend Of The Satan” (Noah Kahan with Béla Fleck), and “Ripple” (Norah Jones). The occasion follows a current tribute to the Grateful Lifeless at Kennedy Middle Honors and comes just a few months after the loss of life of the band’s founding bassist Phil Lesh. Lesh’s son Grahame performed guitar as a part of the home band on the MusiCares gala together with Lifeless & Firm’s Jeff Chimenti, Goose’s Rick Mitarotonda, and others.
