Phil Lesh Grateful Dead

Phil Lesh performing in his Trident T-Shirt:  I use to eat lunch with Phil Lesh when he was in town, we would drive on weekdays to the Trident from San Rafael in his car for a legit reason to drive somewhere FURTHER than Marin Joes.    If I remember correctly, Kelly had something to do with the tee-shirt design. I don’t remember buying it, but I do remember having a Trident shirt.  David Crosby talks about the Trident and his sailboat in his first book. Jiro, then known as Melvin, when Jerry Garcia came in would hang out and BS together. Nice folks!

I worked at the Trident from 1974 to 1976 when it was temporarily closed before reopening almost a year later with a new crew & menu. The era covered here is 1966 to 1980 when the Trident was "Magic!" Mark Danforth Lomas 805.845.2888 MDLomas@gmail.com
