Bill Graham’s famous observation in the 1970s about The Grateful Dead was certainly true at the time.

The Livery, Benton Harbor’s premier live music venue, is known for hosting the best holiday events. This Halloween was set to be a live Dead party featuring South Bend’s own Grateful Dead cover band, the Happy Campers. However, the untimely passing of Phil Lesh transformed the celebration into a heartfelt farewell to honor his legacy.

In the swirling, technicolor maelstrom that was Haight-Ashbury, there was a bassline. It wasn’t just any bassline, mind you. It was Phil Lesh’s—an intricate, weaving, electrified pulse that felt more like the heartbeat of the universe than just another instrument in a band. Now that pulse, that cosmic conductor, has drifted into the great unknown.
