=== Beyond the Grateful Dead: Phil Lesh & Friends and Further Projects ===
After the Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995 following Garcia's death, Lesh continued to explore music through his solo project, ''Phil Lesh & Friends''. This group featured an evolving lineup of talented musicians, including Warren Haynes, John Scofield, Trey Anastasio, and Joan Osborne, among others. Phil Lesh & Friends reimagined Grateful Dead classics with new interpretations, adding a fresh dynamic while staying true to the improvisational spirit of the original songs.

Lesh has also been active with ''Furthur'', a band he co-founded with former Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir. Furthur continued the Grateful Dead’s legacy, performing its music for new generations and preserving the band's iconic, improvisational ethos. Lesh remains active in the music scene, frequently performing at ''Terrapin Crossroads'', a music venue he co-founded in Marin County, California, where he collaborates with both veteran musicians and up-and-coming artists.
