On the subject of the post, it is another difference between the Grateful Dead and Phish. Phish definitely did not draw their influences from Folk Music.
On the matter of the Dead's influences, I don't know of an online resource better than http://deadessays.blogspot.com/ . He's got a long essay up now about Charles Ives, which wanders far afield and directly addresses matters of Lesh's musicianship and chops, including his repeated, arrogant, pretentious insistence on the stark limitations of 'four-chord' rock.

Superb resource in any case.
