This
a cartoon drawing of some Deadheads at the Greek Theater. They lead
there own private little, "Let Phil Sing" Champaign. In the
early years of the Dead, Phil Lesh sang vocals on a regular basis. Along
the way, he grew tired of singing and wanted to concentrate more on
his bass guitar playing. Rumors were started that he had a throat problem
that prevented him from singing. Finally in the 1980's, Phil began to
sing again. Deadheads encouraged Phil to sing by yelling and displaying
banners, "Let Phil Sing!". The Deadheads in this drawing had
their own slogan, "Suzy Q! Phil sing!" They thought it would
be cool if the Grateful Dead sang the classic Rock n' Roll song "Suzy
Q" with Phil singing. In recent times, Phil is perfroming solo
as "Phil Lesh and Friends" and singing lead on many of the
old favorite Dead tunes.
In
addition, this cartoon drawing depicts the Deadhead pranksters known
as the "Wahoo! 5's" yelling their signature catcalls.
