Hux Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Apparently Larry Campbell, formerly of Dylan's band, will replace Jimmy in Phil and Friends.He's a smokin' player.Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm a herring fan, it's a shame. I still like the fact that Phil is so open to changing line-ups and keeping the ball rolling so to speak. What I don't like is Warren Haynes. I feel like he makes Phil and friends sound too much like the Allman Bros. at times. A little overbearing. Other than that, no complaints from the peanut gallery.

Esau Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 All good by me.I really enjoy both guitarist since they aren't really alike in their playing.Plus,Larry has played with Phil before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 On the plus side, maybe this will mean Jimmy Herring (who, when on stage with Warren Haynes, easily gets more of my attention than Warren) will be playing/touring with a smaller act, who might have a chance of coming to a venue near me.

TimmyB Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm completely fine with that, I have seen Larry Campbell in Bob Dylan's band twenty times and Campbell is a fantastic player, he can also play many different instruments like pedal steel, banjo, violin and much more.The Phil Lesh & Friends show could be more diversified because of his addition.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 This is what Phil Lesh says about the subject.TimLast Update: November 8, 2005An Announcement from Phil Lesh:Last year, I promised to bring back the original concept of Phil Lesh &Friends: bringing in different musicians to provide fresh perspectives on the music. I had originally planned to mix up the lineup after New Years- but it turns out that, in order to take advantage of other musical opportunities that have come his way, Jimmy Herring will now be moving on a little earlier. I¹m sure that his new musical experiences will result in further growth, which is vital to a musician.Larry Campbell will be replacing Jimmy with Phil & Friends. Larry is a veteran of Bob Dylan¹s great band, and one of the premier guitarists and multi-instrumentalists of the age. One of the great joys of music making is to be challenged and inspired by a wide range of artistic visions. I look forward to Larry¹s joining the long line of influences and inspirations that have contributed not only to the music itself, but also to my personal musical development.- Phil-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Don't get me wrong I love Jimmy have since I first heard him in ARU. Though I think the addition of Larry Campbell will make these shows a bit more diversified than past shows and I welcome that change.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm interested. New arrangments and sounds are always a good thing with Phil.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yeah, they were a great combo live thats for sure, the Bucky/Larry combo I really enjoyed also, probally just as much actually, Montreal 1997 always comes to mind.I have mixed feelings for the late eighties G.E Smith/Cesar Diaz and anything with John Jackson stuff though.I dunno, about a better combo though.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 In retrospect, it's all good. Change is just scary ladies and gents. But what are you gonna do? Cambell is a sick musician and I'm sure Phil and Friends is going to change a lot as a result... and that's what it's all about. I just think Jimmy did a "good" job filling in for, or playings stylistically like, Jerry; but this is not the Grateful Dead we're talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I just looked at Larry Campbell's site and it seems he won't be performing at the Buffalo show. This is what is says:Larry will be touring with Phil Lesh from November 21st until December 13th. He will miss the show on December 3rd due to his previous committment to work with Emmylou Harris. He will also be performing with Phil Lesh on December 29th, 30th and 31st. So I have no idea now, who will be the guitarist for Phil Lesh & Friends on December 3rd in Buffalo?Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayr Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Can he solo in comparison to Herring? I've never heard him and I was pretty stoked to hear Jimmy play in Buffalo in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuleMomma Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I was gonna speculate that maybe Warren would be at the Buffalo show since Mule are in the area, but it looks as though they're on to Cincinnati by December 3rd...oh well.As for Jimmy, I heard rumours quite some time ago of Jimmy joining Panic...anyone else hear similar? And Esau, do you have the first Project Z album? It's amazing (and I used to have an extra copy, but it got stolen).In as much as I'm curious who will be playing guitar, I'm even more curious how Chris Robinson will sound with Phil. I like Chris as a frontman and vocalist, but his style just seems so different from the music Phil usually makes. But I have faith that Phil wouldn't tour this configuration if it wasn't of highest calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hey Mulemomma, I had Project Z's first album(?) from 2000, but lost that at ghosttown back when.Is the new album out? I have no idea really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleMomma Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 So there's several Project Z albums floating around out there with new owners eh? Part of me wishes the recipient really turned on to the sounds, but the other part of me knows the CD found its way to the nearest dumpster (since it was stolen along with my CD player).As for the new album, I have no idea either, sorry.
