While Phish Holly Bowling and others were winding down their celebration on the East Coast, Phil and Friends were just getting the party started in Hawaii. Lesh opted to test out a new scene for his New Years Eve run to close out 2016 and played a pair of shows in paradise. The first show on December 29th was played on Maui and then Phil and Friends island hopped to O’ahu to celebrate New Years in Honoulu at the Hawai’i Theatre.Phil’s lineup included some of Terrapin Crossroad’s usual suspects: Grahame Lesh on guitar & vocals, Ross James guitar & vocals, Scott Law guitar & vocals, Alex Koford on drums & vocals and Jason Crosby on keyboards & vocals. Phil and Friends treated Hawaiian Deadheads to a marathon three hour show that spread out over three sets.For those curious, Setlist.fm lists these shows as Phil and Friends’ first appearance in Hawaii. The Dead only played Hawaii five times during their long strange trip.Set 1Shakedown StreetThe Music Never StoppedRamble On RoseBox Of RainWharf RatBox Of RainA Hard Rain’s A-Gonna FallSet 2AltheaEstimated ProphetEyes Of The WorldThe WheelTerrapin StationI Know You RiderSet 32017Balloon PoppingSugar MagnoliaScarlet BegoniasFire On The MountainSt. StephenThe ElevenSt. StephenNot Fade AwayBand IntroducedThe Band*:Phil Lesh – Bass & VocalsGrahame Lesh – Guitar & VocalsRoss James – Guitar & VocalsScott Law – Guitar & VocalsAlex Koford – Drums & VocalsJason Crosby – Keyboards & Vocals*The Terrapin Family Band & Special Guests: Scott Law & Jason CrosbyThanks to Jay H.
