Phil sang lead on a handful of songs. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head is:
Box of Rain, which is the most common. Unbroken Chain Wild Horses |

I’ve told this story before but my dad’s co-worker/friend and his wife were huge Deadheads and for my 13th birthday they picked me up after school and took me to a Dead concert, then let me spend the night at their townhome and then took me to school the next day. It’s one of the signature moments in my life.

Saw them at Red Rocks in 1978. So young at the time, I wasn’t really aware of what I was seeing.
I had read the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test as a freshman in HS so I was aware of all the acid and shrooms going on around me. Still the greatest venue I’ve ever had the pleasure to hear a show. And it was The Dead. Travel quickly to the next studio. |

Phish just opened tonight's show with Box of Rain. Figured they'd pay homage at some point, but nice to see it was the opener.

His lead vocal tunes were a novelty and loved by fans but they all knew he wasn't even a decent vocalist. They just loved to hear Phil sing once in a while. He was a virtuoso on bass, listen to any Dark Star from 1968 to 1978 and tell me he doesn't make the instrument sing.

I totally get what you're saying and I felt that way when I started getting into the dead and heard the one or two songs that he does. But because it was as stated, a novelty, we would ****in go nuts whenever they played box of rain....cuz you know.... Phil

They're playing shakedown street on the outro music of the bottom of the ninth in the world series right now.
