There have been many incarnations of Phil and Friends over the years, but his one, featuring Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell from Phish (informally known as Phil and Phriends) is my favourite of all the Dead's bassist's bands. With Trey Anastasio riffing off of Steve Kimock's brilliant leads and the band powered by the rhythm section of Lesh and John Molo, there's a lot of musical magic here.
This show is the last of a three-night run at San Francisco's The Warfield. It was professionally recorded with, I have read, the intent to release a live album, but that never came to be. The video quality is OK for 1999, but that hardly matters here. The other two nights are also available on YouTube if you want more, and why wouldn't you?
