Love Will See You Through is the first album by the rock band Phil Lesh and Friends. It is also known as Highlights Volume One. It was recorded live on June 4 and 5, 1999 at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, and released later that year.Dansby, Andrew. (March 22, 2002). "Lesh to Drop Album on New Label", Rolling Stone
In addition to Phil Lesh, this version of the constantly changing lineup of Phil Lesh and Friends includes Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna), Steve Kimock (Kingfish, Missing Man Formation, The Other Ones), Pete Sears (Rod Stewart, Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna), Prairie Prince (The Tubes, Journey, Missing Man Formation), Caitlin Cornwell, and Zoe Ellis. Lesh and Kaukonen each sing lead vocals on about half the songs on the album, and the band's vocal capabilities are enhanced by backup singers Cornwell and Ellis. As usual for Phil Lesh and Friends, the musical emphasis is on jam band style interpretations of Grateful Dead songs, although the album also includes a few numbers from the Airplane and Hot Tuna repertoire.
