DeadPhish Orchestra/JiMiller Band

The Grateful Dead and Phish often get lumped into the same sentence anytime some mass-media figure wants to make a reference to “hippies” or “patchouli.” It’s more off the mark than one would like, but, of course, the two iconic American bands share a fair bit of DNA. DeadPhish Orchestra incorporates the two catalogs into one stirring show, segueing into and out of one or the other; setlists often weave from “Divided Sky” into, say, “Morning Dew” and back into “Divided Sky.” There are a lot of tribute bands out there, performing the tasteful music of the Dead and Phish. This is one of those nights when you’ll get ‘em both in one show. Whatever you do, take care of your U.S. Blues. (Sandy)
