Phil was the guy we nerdy heads could most relate to- just a humble, fun loving guy who always seemed to be so happy and fortunate to be doing what he was doing. I’m so sad he’s no longer among us. Go easy old friend I never got to meet!
My father is near death, as Phil's was in the inspiration for this song. This clip has given me and my siblings much comfort as we wait for Dad's crossing over. Thanks Phil and GD. Be an organ doner.
Mr. Pollard, your Father must have been a special man to have inspired such a great song. You sound like me describing my Father, even though he passed in 2,000. I still miss him so. Dad was my best friend. I was lucky to have been a part of his life and a gleam in his eye. Yours Steven Pettinga
My father died just under a month ago. I was posting something on FB in a group I'm in about my father etc right after he died with Spotify playing in the background. BoR came on while typing and I fucking lost it. And honestly, it's really the only time I have. The only way Jerry could fuck with me more is if it's raining here this Saturday when we hold his service
What a beautiful song. I just remember all the many Grateful Dead concerts I went to in my 20's. I thought back then we would live forever, but now in my 70's, I realize we won't. BUT, the music will live on, and I'll be forever grateful that I've lived through the 70's and began my musical concert journey with them a part of it. RIP, Phil Thanks forever.
Phil's otherwordly riffs have been gamboling and frolicking in my Walkman/iPod/air buds damn near daily for almost 50 years. I cannot imagine a personal musical landscape without his playing. Fare thee well, buddy
This is the first song I listened to after I found out my grandmother died. I can't believe it's almost been 9 years since she passed. I love and miss you very much.
🙏 God Bless, Phil ❤️ You contributed to so many through music, live shows, & make up the foundation of my life soundtrack + music memories. Sending you boundless gratitude & love, Brother
Drove down from Binghamton to see this show, got caught in in a massive Catskill thunderstorm on the way down and traffic was stopped on the GW Bridge and got a parking space...almost missed the show...wow!
Created a gmail account so I could comment on things like this... When I have my memorial service this will be the last song... A box of rain will ease the pain
Eight-sided whispering hallelujah hatrack Seven-faced marble eye transitory dream doll Six proud walkers on jingle-bell rainbow Five men writing in fingers of gold Four men tracking the great white sperm whale Three girls wait in a foreign dominion Ride in the whalebelly Fade away in moonlight Sink beneath the waters To the coral sands below Now is the time of returning
No matter where my seat was at the Garden, I would always work my way up to the blue section because the floor up there would rock up and down from of the force of thousands of Deadheads dancing, as if the building was constructed from rubber.
tt's a Go**amned travesty that Phil Lesh's name is never mentioned when rock's great bass players are discussed. RIP Phil Lesh and thanks for the music
This album is full of chestnuts and by far my favorite Dead album. Mars Hotel is near as good. I wish they had taken more time crafting their albums, they could have had five more like this. Even the album cover expresses a deeper consideration. Steven Pettinga.
Something odd must have happened. Because he starts to sounds really bad sometime in the early 90s. Go listen to him doing Box of Rain in the year or two before Jerry died and he sounds pretty awful. But he sounds alright here, in the late 80s, and this is long after his vocal cord surgery. Wonder what went wrong. There are even other versions around 86-88 where he sings a high F# for the last note and nails it. I'd be really interested to hear him sing it without having to play the bass at the same time.
Música linda que ele fez para o pai que estava para morrer, eu nunca fiz um música para meu pai que morreu e quero que meus filhos façam uma música para mim...
Bye Phil. May the four winds blow you safely home.
RIP my man...sing your songs to the angels.

Ya, I've always felt an affinity to Lesh that way. Godspeed to his spirit.

NFA I’ve been there many times at this point taking care of my grandmother father and then mother this song 🎵 says it all
My father died just under a month ago. I was posting something on FB in a group I'm in about my father etc right after he died with Spotify playing in the background. BoR came on while typing and I fucking lost it. And honestly, it's really the only time I have.

Prayers for you and your Family!!!!!

I lived in the Haight in the late 60s, the Dead lived a few blocks away. They were like our neighborhood house band. Peace to the Lesh souls ❤
Fare thee well , Fare thee well We love you more than words can tell! Rest easy Phil! Now you and Jerry can jam forever with the angels!
RIP 💔
Fair winds, Phil. Thank you❤💔😭🎶
This was the 2nd Dead show I ever attended. So happy this is here. Sleep peacefully, Phil.
Peace be with you, Phil. You will always be loved. ❤️⚡️💙🌈✨
This is the first song I listened to after I found out my grandmother died. I can't believe it's almost been 9 years since she passed. I love and miss you very much.
I miss my GMa too god bless❤
What a loooong strange trip it’s been. Love you Phil. RIP!!!
RIP Phil 🙏🙏🙏
SUCH AN HONEST SONG WITH THE WORDS AND TEMPO THAT HAVE HELPED ME FOR SO MANY YEARS. I OWE MUCH OF MY STRENGTH AND PEACE TO THE DEAD. RIP PHIL.
Rest in peace. I'll see you in heaven playing with Jerry for our everlasting peace.
Rest in peace Phil. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for the 177 beautiful nights. RIP
💔and on the bass and vocals, Mr. Philip Lesh
As I just learned what the inspiration for this song was - I will never listen to it again without tears. Thank you Phil. Rest in Power! ❤
What a voice, we still have him... love LESH.
RIP. Let Phil Sing
He is singing now. Into eternity.
My favorite song if I had to choose - love it Phil
...a long strange trip
Thanks for the ride
Such a great time to see the Grateful Dead! I was there and they are my lighthouse through the storm. Btw Phil sings PERFECT
My fave was B.OR. on 6/30/95 rain set at 3 Rivers. Phil's Box of Rain was just perfect like the rest of the set!
Thank you Phil
That was amazing R.I.P. thank you for the beautiful music
Last song that I played my old guy, an old Deadhead, the night before he died. I cherish the t-shirt.
🙏 God Bless, Phil ❤️ You contributed to so many through music, live shows, & make up the foundation of my life soundtrack + music memories. Sending you boundless gratitude & love, Brother
Palo Alto high school days, deadhead forever.
RIP. Such a great musician and stand up dude. Love you Phil❤
Rest well brother 💀🌹
All a dream they dreamed ... Thank you Phil
Rest in peace Phil, thank you for all the music. Forever a legend.
Drove down from Binghamton to see this show, got caught in in a massive Catskill thunderstorm on the way down and traffic was stopped on the GW Bridge and got a parking space...almost missed the show...wow!
✨ For this is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago ✨
Rest easy Phil!!
WE WANT PHIL ! WE WANT PHIL ! RIP from the Phil zone.♡ THANK YOU Mr.Lesh. You are so immensely loved. ✌
Absolutely bummed out, l😢, great memories great times RIP BROTHER...
Godspeed ❤
1:13 the face he gives after he sings that phrase off rhythm reminds me of myself trying sing and play bass 😂
He’s playing guitar
Um…..Phil is the bass player. He’s not playing guitar. I love that oops look he gave.
Lovely, and Phil in fine voice
este tema es hermoso.
RIP Phil may your journey stay strange into the next one ♥
RIP Phil Lesh,time to go join the angels.
Farewell Phil what a long long trip it's been
God rest Phil and his dad.
LET PHILL SING
thanks
Great.
Phil pushing 84/85 years old.....God Bless.
Created a gmail account so I could comment on things like this... When I have my memorial service this will be the last song... A box of rain will ease the pain
It's a good day to open another box of rain
A bigger Head than Jerry just started playing in the Tower
Superb
Rest well, Phil.
I can’t watch this yet
Eight-sided whispering hallelujah hatrack
Seven-faced marble eye transitory dream doll
Six proud walkers on jingle-bell rainbow
Five men writing in fingers of gold
Four men tracking the great white sperm whale
Three girls wait in a foreign dominion
Ride in the whalebelly
Fade away in moonlight
Sink beneath the waters
To the coral sands below
Now is the time of returning
Rip Phile we love you

I was there. The Rainforest Alliance Concert

Sing on, Phil.
Phil is unable to sing well (damaged vocal cord). But this song (studio version) is an exceptionally beautiful one. One of my top favorites.
This album is full of chestnuts and by far my favorite Dead album. Mars Hotel is near as good. I wish they had taken more time crafting their albums, they could have had five more like this. Even the album cover expresses a deeper consideration. Steven Pettinga.
Shoot still love it this is one of my favorite versions just because I love Phil so much I got to see him sing Box of Rain sacred stuff
That is WHY we love Phil singing!! BECAUSE his "damaged" vocal cords......
@@brianwalkosz9567 got that right 💯⚡️⚡️⚡️🌹
@@brianwalkosz9567 ♥️⚡️💙
Forever in The Phil Zone
4:43 phil's voice went off for a second
Oh, what a choice version.
What happened to the harmony vocals?
Some come in towards the end . Different arrangement live . Studio is another world than the stage .
It seems like a song that they basically never practiced outside of performing it.
Phil isn’t bad here at all, unlike versions in the 00s
Something odd must have happened. Because he starts to sounds really bad sometime in the early 90s. Go listen to him doing Box of Rain in the year or two before Jerry died and he sounds pretty awful. But he sounds alright here, in the late 80s, and this is long after his vocal cord surgery. Wonder what went wrong.

Phil Zone. yay
WE WANT PHIL!! WE WANT PHIL!! And we got him...
Música linda que ele fez para o pai que estava para morrer, eu nunca fiz um música para meu pai que morreu e quero que meus filhos façam uma música para mim...
What a track but I wasn’t aware Dennis The Menace performed it also… and so well .
LET PHIL SING
seeing vince on keyboards reminded me of how he was shut out after jerry's death and how it really pissed me off.
That's Brent on keys here, it's 1988.
sorry the video must have changed
