Daniel Donato Offers Grateful Dead Tributes at The Cap
Before the show, Donato took to social media to discuss the significance of performing at The Cap–where Phil Lesh has performed more than any other musician and held a years-long residency–on the anniversary of the bassist’s passing. He also mentioned that he was part of the final Phil Lesh & Friends lineup to play the venue on March 16, 2024, where he joined Lesh and his son Grahame, Amy Helm, Jason Crosby and John Molo as the core Friends combo and the members of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead also sat in.
