Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll
In a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul
River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home
Goin home, goin home
by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul
Goin to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go - the river roll roll roll
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

My brother went missing August 3rd, 2020 hiking the Berkshire Mountains. He was found this past Saturday (August 15) just a few days after his 57th Birthday in a ravine along a stream. This song has helped me shed the tears that sometimes are held back being strong for others.
I'm so sorry for your loss!
Sorry for your loss brother. It’s also helped me tremendously through grief. A beautiful song no doubt
Sorry brother.
You loved him more than words can tell.
May peace find your loving heart.
I’m so sorry 😢. Was he hiking the Appalachian Trail?
Go love somebody. We only here for a blip in time.
Tonight, as I have since '95, I play this song to celebrate the life and cherish the memories of another friend, a devoted husband, a loving father, a man the likes of whom the world needs more of today. Tony, tonight it's with a tear in my heart that I play this Brokedown Palace for you; let the music guide you on the next step in your journey. Tonight you are pain free, smile down at us and save us a place at the table.
God bless you. Fare thee Well Tony we will all meet again
I fucking love the Grateful Dead...
Me too my Brother...
Rob Cron me too, yeah, me too right on Brother
And I fooking love GD too!
What's not to love? Black licorice, baby. ;-)
You got that right my friend!
"...many worlds i've come since i first left home"
...gets me even after hundreds of times
I absolutely love this song, and it will be played at my funeral.
Robert Hunter was the greatest American lyricist. I'll fight anyone about it
Me too brother, Every time
Same.
Every single time💜
I am an eleven year old. My father loves the Grateful Dead and always sang me this song when i was young. When I hear this song it makes me cry. Of memories but they are happy. I believe this is my favourite song.
you dad rocks i am sure he loves you more than words can tell, GD the best scene (you will never see being so young) but take this peaceful song along with you forever. Be good
Kittykattomgurl I agree with Paul Kneissier yer old man rocks! I used to sing " Monkey and the Engineer" to my daughter when we would go on trips. she is 27 this year. Although her favorite song was " Oye Como Va" by Santana.
Right on KittyKattonGurl keep on keepin' on friend
RedCloud1967 I love the Monkey and the Engineer. My dad does rock lol. I guess GD holds father-daughter bonds!
Paul Kneissler Thank you!
KKG, the Dead are about family indeed...and us dads...love our kids great big....all the way to the moon.
Take care
My dog died today. we plan to bury her near the river. i intent to sing this song to her. she deserves nothing less
I hope to return someday to a little bend in the Pinnebog River, rural Huron County Michigan, to say a proper goodbye to one of the finest men to grace my life. As the song goes, only the good die young and he was the best at making me feel unconditional love and joy. I'd take your cancer, your suffering, anything at all, to have one more swing at a whiffle ball, one more suckerfish speared, one more cruise down country-dirt roads.
Sorry, I just came to ask how your dog's funeral went? I hope you sang this song with your whole heart.
my dog died today and i played and sang it for her as well
So sorry.
I'm a Deadhead since I was 14 in 1973 thanks to my boyfriend, a guitar player w/o a Band, at the time. When I die my Son
is going to spread my
ashes somewhere very special to me, very close to Jerry & the Dead when the were young. In nature, my favorite place in Marin!
Then he will play Brokedown Palace in My
Memory. ❤ NFA
My dog died yesterday. I'm going to put these words on her headstone
Donna gets some hell, but she absolutely nails it here. Hauntingly beautiful. Those harmonies.
God bless Donna Jean.
I fuckin love Donna ♥️
She was flawless in 77
I don’t even listen to versions of this song without her
Some people are absolutely clueless. That girl sings her ass off!! In Jerry Garcia Band too!! I started listening at "wake of the flood" and I'll take the Keith and Donna years of either band any day!!
I'm 18 my dad just passed he was the biggest deadhead ever and his 69 charger has custom plates "Dedhead" and a Grateful Dead sticker rip dad I love you
What your dad told you, keep creating beauty& achieving goodness, best regards
Thoughts and prayers with you.
💕💕💕💕
My dad passed this year on June 27th, two days after my 18th birthday and my warm memories of listening to his scratchy grateful dead bootlegs are what have pulled me through. When he was on his death bed in a coma, I sang ripple to him just an hour before he passed--could swear I saw him crack one last smile before he went. Much love to you, I know your comment is a year old, but I know I'll still be missing my old man a decade from now and I know you're probably still missing yours too.
My Dad passed almost 2 years ago. Miss him everyday.
R.I.P Robert Hunter one of the greatest song writers of all time. Thank you for this song from the bottom of my heart.
THE greatest, IMO
Sweet and sleepy
Brings tears to my eyes 😔RIP RH, JG

This is mine and my oldest brother’s favorite dead song. I found him dead 2/13/21 from overdose. This song could bring tears to my eyes before his passing, now there is no stopping them. He introduced me to the dead and I’m forever grateful. Miss him terribly, he was troubled in life unfortunately. His personal demons got the best of him. He’s at rest now. Hopefully Jerry met him on the other side with a smile and laugh.
I was fifteen feet from the stage at the end of this show as they began this song ... less than a minute into it, I chanced to look around, and half the people near me were in tears.
I was there too. One of the best BP I've heard.
I lost my home of 50 years to Hurricaine Sandy and moved full time onto my boat. This song was on you tube and I watched it as I settled into the boat and it made me feel everything was gonna be alright :)
Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll
In a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul
River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home
Rolling Stony it's my favourite dead song, its very comforting and fits so many situations, sorry about yours
Rolling Stony sweet name bra! Mines Darrell Bryant, firehouse much? I was 10👍🏿
Rolling Stony oh and thanks for the lyrics, I know it by Heart! But not all my friends and family😉
Damn it fIREHOSE!
I had to lay my 4 year old pup down to an eternal slumber and this is the only thing getting me through it right now. Dad loves you so much max
I'd like to believe Max knew that :)
Just said goodbye to our today😢
@@christophervolrath9090 it’s gets easier, but the pain never goes away. Sorry for your loss. Listening to this in memory of your dog and mine. Cheers to the amazing companions that are dogs.
Lost my sweet Miss Miesha to Lymphoma at only 6 years old before Christmas.
I feel your pain.
I wish your heart healing in the memories. Tragically gut wrenching
Remember, your dog passed away knowing he was loved and cherished. Because that is what you did for him since day one.
Reading all these comments makes you feel the tremendous love people have in general, let alone the particular focused love. Just imagine that combined force...
I lost mine too.
Maybe one of the most beautiful tunes ever
Agreed.
Comes a time Buffalo 5-9-77 ❤
A friend of mine just took his life tonight.... We bonded over the dead..... RIP Timmy 💕💞💕
RIP to your timmy
Don't ever b that guy!!!!💪😚😚😚😚😚
Through the darkness is light. Seems fucking impossible at the time but it is there. ❤
Jerry was quoted, " only about 10% of music played is the GOOD STUFF, THE MAGIC, AND WHEN ALL IS RIGHT IN THE UNIVERSE" This is definitely in the 10%!!!!
⚡⚡⚡
💀 💀 💀
My moms favorite song. Rest In Peace mom on your second birthday in heaven. I love you. I miss you. I’m glad you let me grow up on tour. So many beautiful memories.
RIP Robert Hunter Sept. 23, 2019
My daughter, Willow, is named after this song. And it was her favorite lullaby when she was a baby ♥
my dad always sang me this song
MissMisery1997 Beautiful name! That was the name I picked if we had a girl! We had a beautiful baby boy and decided to name him Hunter. This is my favorite lullaby to sing to him.
My second daughters middle name is Willow... My company name is Terrapin lol.
I have a Scarlett
The woman perfectly adds up to the mix... beautiful voice
Best closer/encore song ever and Best come down song ever.
"Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell"
I lost my son and I listen to this song all the time. It was one of his favorites.
brought my brothers ashes to the rivers he loved most and sang this tune for him... so the river could sing him sweet songs to rock his soul. Rest in paradise brother haus!
Chad Spencer sorry for your loss.
Chad Spencer for my sister Theresa she love this song
My sister love this song rest in peace
Thats beautiful. I hope someone will do the same for me when my day comes. ❤
I loved Jerry from my first show and still love him. I wish others would remember how it used to be, before all the hate that's evolved, and everyone who went to "church",as us deadheads call a Grateful dead show! Nobody, nobody can ever do what Jerry did for us fortunate ones who lived,eat, and loved the way Jerry taught us! RIP my friend
I left Winterland after this song, took a bus downtown, took another bus to SFO, rode a plane to LAX, spent a few hours waiting for the morning buses to run, rode another bus to Wilshire and Westwood Blvds and walked home, got on my bike and rode to school where I had a morning bicycling class. Oh to be 18 again.
18again18and18again
I want this to be a 100% true recount of what happened. I see sandy-brown, wavy hair navigating SoCal mass transit with an efficiency second only to a Swiss timepiece. Hopping bikes, busses, planes, to busses, back to bikes....tires screeching to a hault in time for roll call...I want this to be true SO DAMN BAD!
Problem is I remember 18. And 18yo me ain't making it past the parking lot. Not after that show, not after any of their shows, let alone this night. If you read this please don't admit Im right! Just chalk it up to taking in another seminal rock show, they were pretty much weekly. Say you took it for granted, good music was so plentiful back then! Say you didn't know the 80s were coming, and as far as you knew - the well of meaningful rock music would run deep forever. Tell us Poison, Whitesnake, and Ratt weren't even a twinkle in your eye.
Just...whatever you do....DO NOT admit I'm right that this is fiction. Repeat after me: "I swear to you on everything you deem sacred, I made that fucking cycling class at (USC, UCSB, SDSU, etc) on-time, tires smoking, tripping my balls off! Hoffman's ride ain't got shit on morning cycling class June 9th, 1977."
P.S. Feel free to copy/paste the response I generated for you. You'll grow into a bicycling legend, and I will be your #1 fan.
@@Hffuvdssthkk True story but remember Winterland didn't really have a parking lot and I loved my cycling class at Uni Hi on the Westside of LA and I only a few weeks left of high school and how cool is it to tell your cycle class friend Aaron Schenidermann that you saw the Dead last night and I'm here at 7:30am to tell the story of one hell of a show.
Forever young NFA. 🌏
@@Hffuvdssthkk Many of us did just that. With each piece of the puzzle that is our life falling into place like dominos toppling over. Happy minds transcended tired bodies as we entertained the miracle of our spirit. Peace.
Thank you, Donna, for being perfect on this one.
I'm not always a fan of her but something about her in this one is like you said....perfect
Donna is epic --> Sang on an Elvis track / long ago Mussel Shoals sound check it she is a Fab singer. I believe if she sang in todays world with an earpiece she could have heard herself, She was really set to fail without her own monitor so she sang her ass off to make up for it so she could hear herself
Brokedown Palace helped me understand death, the passing of loved ones. Heck, I miss Jerry as much. He used to buy comic books from me out of my Haight Ashbury comic books & concert poster store I had from Nov 1976 thru early 1992.
So did Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, Robin Williams, Bruce Lee,
so many more lost souls we muse "What if...?" for
Robert Beerbohm ✌❤
⚡💀⚘💀⚡
nice...what a totally creative kind of man.....and thank you Robert for that store...i think i remember myself browsing there a few times
Robert Beerbohm. Hello. What store was It? The white rabbit? I went up.north last year ..noticed the underground headship was GONE as well as the psychedelic shop too. In Berkeley I cried a lot ...for there r no hippies now. It was very sad to see this. 24 years since I myself has bailed for Hawaii, then was caught up in film biz trying to keep going, moved to Hollywood. Being a cowboy bad guy biker hippie historical figure..id sure prefer not to be in L.A. if I could still work elsewhere.
THANK YOU.... I REMEMBER YOUR
STORE ..BOUGHT A POSTER....
STOPPED BEFORE WINTERLAND.
WHAT A LIFE FOR YOU...?!
MEMORIES MAKE US.....
Donna's harmonies in this are amazing!
love you Donna Jean! 😍🥰💘💘💕🎼
My daughter’s father, Greg, passed away unexpectedly in front of her 09/17/20, 10 days before her 13th birthday. He was also the best friend I’ll likely ever have, and we miss him terribly. He was older than me, and although I wasn’t a huge Dead fan prior to his death, I have been since. The Grateful Dead channel played a concert from 6/26 (Greg’s birthday) the entire first long drive I took following his death. I think Greg put that satellite station on my radio that evening as I certainly didn’t. Anyhow, today marks the 3 month anniversary of his death and I’ve listened to this song with tears rolling down my face several times. I just played it standing near the memorial we made at the top of my stairs, I’m pretty sure he’s here... It’s now my absolute favorite song ever. Be safe everyone and treasure those you love, while their body is still living, you never know when this life will forever change.
⚘💜⚘
❤
RIP Mr Hunter, thank you for all the songs!
Be was quite the guy, late shows after jerry dies he would even preach in between sets, but everyone was everwherr, shit even me I just wanted to DANCE. I MISS THE OLD YOUR ING DAY GREATLY, MAYBE I KNOW YOU RIDER... 😆

Brings tears to my eyes thinking about loved ones and friends no longer here. They aren’t really gone though, just waiting for us to catch up.

RIP Pop, miss you so much. This is the longest we have gone without speaking since I could talk. 11/2/17. I miss our convos... It really sucks...
50 years ago next month I met a beautiful young woman who was not really a Dead fan, but we fell madly in lcve anyway. In March 1974 I took her to the "Sound Check" concert at the Cow Palace that rolled out the Wall of Sound PA system. I guess she liked it well enough - or at least liked me well enough. We married in 1975. She passed away 7 months ago after 47 years of bringing me more happiness than I could ever deserve. This is one of the songs I listen to when I want my sad tears of loss to be happy tears of gratitude and sweet memories. "Fare you well; I love you more than words can tell." On every live recording of this song that I've heard Jerry's solos have such feeling; the guitar is crying, and I hear the same sound I hear in my heart.
Beautifully stated. Ain't Love & Life something? All the best on your journey....that river will still sing sweet songs & the music will never stop...👍🍁🍂
My cat of 16 yo just die today i can’t stop crying, thanks jerry for keeping me up in those hard times. Listen to the river sing sweet song to rock my soul.❤️ i love you more then words can tell. RIP FLOCON❄️
seriously I get the chills listening to this beautiful song!
yasss
We all do brother!! Love n light!!
This one and Stella Blue are my favorite ones that bring tears to my eyes
Yup 😇😇😇
U ain't just whistling Dixie brother! These guys had a way of touching something deeper... Ripples of sound, resonating somewhere deep, primal,... fare U well, fare U well, I've loved U more than words can tell. Listen to the river sing sweet songs that rock our souls!
40 years later and just as beautiful...
My sister asked .i would play this at her funeral. I said was never gonna happen.im 60 now. She took me first show at 14. I love you more than words can tell. Mare 🌹
Another very beautiful Brokedown Palace rendition is the version from 5/25/1972
what a beautiful ballad. friend of mine just lost his father this past week. freaky and unexpected death. i posted this for him on fb. keep on truckin folks. life is precious
In not so many words. I thank God above for letting me live on the Grateful Dead's timeline of life! 😇
Garcia & Hunter the best song writing duo ever. So much feeling. Takes me to a different place. Many of their songs including this masterpiece!
Long live the Dead. Til the bitter end. Greatest American band EVER!
Being a deadhead means there’s always some ‘77 to listen to like it’s for the first time all over again.
THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY IN A HAPPY WAY...
I've listened to countless versions of the song. This is it.
Mine and my daughters song. Gone 8 years today but not forgotten
REMINDS ME OF MY LONG JOURNEY I HAVE BEEN ON, AND STILL HAVE YET TO GO!!
I love them and will have them playing when They lay my body down for the last time. Amen. hope thats 50 years from now.
12 years my Dad has been gone..I miss him everyday of my life.
RIP Robert Hunter. What an amazing song....
saddens me but yet lifts me up soaring the heavens every time, sing me sweet and sleepy
Guaranteed to make me cry, RIP mom. Many worlds I've come since I first left home.
To me, Grateful Dead were the stuff of myth and legend. Can you even come close to imagining all the amazing psychedelic trips that have been had under the influence of their music? Godspeed Captain Tripps and all the rest. Keep the cosmos rocking for all time.
Of course you have your own experiences, but you can't know what it's like to be inside the mind of someone else, let alone the mind of that person under the influence of LSD or shrooms. Although certain experiences are shared (e.g. tracers, swirling shapes) there are so many parts to the experience that cannot be matched. Memories that form the shape and character of the mind birth different effects of the affect and present experience.
The mere structure of our minds and our worldviews also shape our psychedelic experience. There's probably a lot more to it that I'm not even mentioning
If you close your eyes and think about some random colors or patterns, they will look much different than lots of other people's imagining of the same thing. Just to give an example
I guess you were "under the influence" when you wrote your comments? :D It doesnt appear to be that structured :D
I had the same thoughts before, especially since acid doesnt really "take me away" compared to anybody I ever met. Even in absurdly high doses.
@@sodaaccount nah I mean probably just smoking weed that day but I have ADHD and ramble a lot. That's interesting I've heard a number of people say certain drugs don't affect them crazy like for others
4 out of 5 dentist agree,this song will make you cry 4 out of 5 times of listening ,..results may vary....void in battlecreek mi
in gr here......come visit..... plenty of heads in mah neck of the woods ;)
ain't it the truth, sister.
Wow, just watched this on the 20th anniversary of Jerry's passing. It is also about 7 months since my dad passed. This was so beautiful it made me cry.
take us all home, Mr. Garcia .....
I sent the following text while listening to this song. I have no earthly memory of typing this, let alone texting it. I hope the message was delivered on-time, as intended...I mean...what more could a storyteller hope to accomplish?
The text to a dear friend: There are fewer gifts I will ever be able to share with you than THIS...June 8th, 1977 - Winterland Ballroom Arena - Brokedown Palace. It was an encore, impromptu playing. It was never done better if you ask me. It was a mf'ing Wednesday! Ask yourself, what have I EVER done on a Wednesday that comes close to this?! Nothing? That's right...nothing!
This is the greatest hump-day, afterthought, encore ever played. I mean, who does encores on Wednesdays after playing 3 hours? The Grateful Dead. Fuckin-A man...we were born almost exactly 30 years too late. Shoulda been '49 instead of '79!
"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -Jerry Garcia
"Momma, momma many worlds I've come since I first left home." -Robert Hunter (Brokedown Palace)
Snuggle into bed, turn down the lights, surround yourself with loved ones, and ask for 7 minutes and 45 seconds of mindful listening. Your souls will intertwine and mingle before eventually settling back to their rightful host, but your hearts...your hearts will be forever fuller. - end of text
I doubt I'll ever top that text. I'm super proud to have gotten swept up in the magic, albeit, almost 44 years after the last note shot off into space. RIP to all taking this one to Dreamland tonight.
PhilLesh just encored &ended his 4hr set with this fitting song... Last song & show in the Dillon Amphitheatre, CO, for 2021... ♨️💟🙏
Love you and miss you, mom. 4-17-1948---7-14-2010.
I would be so proud to leave such an astounding masterpiece. Thank you so much, The Gratefull Dead.
I lost my dear friend and brother of 32 years Sunday to his own hand. I'm in my 63rd hour of tears. This don't make it better but it adds a calmness.
I listen to this sweet song on Father's day to rock my soul. RIP dad. See you at the Palace.
The sweetest, saddest, most beautiful song I will ever hear
I've not thought of her for years until last night when I was sitting on the porch playing this on mandolin.
Decades ago I picked up a young lady hitchhiking. That was common in those days. This song came up and I sang it to her. She had never heard of the Dead. We dated for a while. But she couldn't lay off the H. I sung it to her the last time I visited her in jail. When she said he loved the H more than me I walked.
Great Brokedown. I always loved this song. I know a lot of people start heading out to beat crowd when this was the encore. But it can be one of Jerry's most emotional singing and playing. Also it has a special place for me - this was the last song I saw Jerry play at Giants Stadium 95. Fare thee well Jerry. I love you more than words can tell.
This is one of the best performances of the era by maybe the best group.
A good friend of my parents and someone I called Uncle lost his battle to cancer he was a big deadhead and lived right on the water used to take rides on a pontoon boat and listen to the grateful Dead and enjoy the outdoors miss him every time I hear this song or any other dead songs 😥God bless you Uncle Jim missing you always😥😥
My friend Shaun, you are sadly missed xoxox I hope u have found the peace you were looking for 2/4/2016 fly high ...
Thank you I played this at my brothers funeral thank you.
such a beautiful song, reminds me of my dad
This song touches us each in so many different ways. It makes you feel and experience. Makes you want to smile, cry, and laugh all at the same time. So delightful.
You expressed this so well.
this song moves my soul. the grateful dead has been my favorite band for 20 years and I've heard this song a million times and it still gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes every single time.
Grateful for all that is, goes beyond words, pure Love, pure Bliss, pure Joy, right here right now i get it, on the Bus, all is well, Blessings to this planet, Blessings to all,
My best friend Brian passed away yesterday in Oregon. We had been tight for the past 39 years, except for the past decade I’ve spent in Thailand. We danced and traveled with the Grateful Dead in mind, so this song is about as mean full and important as anything right now. Rip Brian DeCaro!
So sorry for your loss.
Perfection. I sure do miss the Dead.
God bless you Jerry. I stiil love my family. 🌹NFA🌹 By the water side I will lay my head. 💮💠⭕🐒
This is the best song when your down and out for sure
What a silky smooth voice young Papa Bear had back in the day!! Your band(s) continue to inspire warmth and love between musicians.. In turn passing harmony to the world. What an incredible version.
+Lee Ross Amen!!
@@serferten 6 years later. 6x the love. Thx Poppa Bear. 😢 ❤️
RIP Robert Hunter, thank you for everything
I am not a "DeadHead," but man, I wish I had a chance to follow them around in the 70s. I am so thankful these recordings exist for easy download on Archive.
Lost a brother today. Dementia is a hard road. But he is now laying along the riverside. Enjoying the light. Going home. Fare thee well, John. RIP my brother..
they knew how to do it, this song just touches the soul, the blues and the light, the essence. this song has been with me throught the years and the difficult times, always helps. i wrote a letter for my niece the day she was born, she will turn 4 this year and someday when she grows older she will read that letter and somewhere between my words she will find ''fare you well, i love you more than words can tell, listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul...-grateful dead'' and i like to think that she will search and listen to this song and hopefully her heart connects with the dead, they were more than just a band, they were/are medicine. love to everyone listening to them and to everyone who is struggling with life.
I Thank God every single day that I got to see so many Dead And JGB so many times and got to see and feel that positive energy and got to see JERRY GARCIA play and sing and play thank you
Damn. I'm in tears while listening to this. Shit.
Hey Chase, the tunes you post are not only always high sound quality, but always have just beautiful visuals to accompany the music. Thanks, brother.
absolutely!!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Going to release Fakir my love's ashes tomorrow. Will play this song . Letting go is hard work soothed by the river, nature and jerry's voice and the beautiful lyrics. Jerry and Fakir both Leos born and gone in early august. I miss you big spirits. Shine on us.
My brother in law passed away yesterday..... RIP Timmy. Taken way too young. I'll always remember you buddy. Love you man.
Wonderful choice of images to go with this song.
At this moment this song is important to me.
I miss summers that had Jerry and all the rest,
all those who came and went,
A summer without the Grateful Dead is like winter.
Saw ratdog encore with this the weekend following 9/11 not a dry eye in the house such a beautiful song
Life without The Grateful Dead has to have to emptiness that none of us know about.
‘77 was the peak of Donna’s contribution vocally with her time in The Dead.
Best Donna performance ever.
Why after all the decades I still find a special place in my heart for the Dead. They hit a chord, touched a place really almost no one else could.
This is a fantastic version of a very special song.
future funeral song!! along with ripple, and black muddy river!!! they may not remember the important things ive done alive, but im sure they will always remember what these songs meant after!!!
Black muddy river
You stole my thunder...if the thunder don't get me , then the lightening will...⚡
Franklin's Tower..May the four winds blow you safely home
My Dad David Hale would have been 60 today. He spent is youth following the Grateful Dead. This song brings me comfort and tears. Hope Jerry is giving him a private show in the sky!
🌹Rest In Peace🖤Robert Hunter🌹
Being between the twixt of the dark and light I find myself in the middle. Garnering both, I still find myself in both worlds. I can't let go. No words can ever find me.
Lover's come and go, the river it roll, roll, roll.
Absolutely beautiful deep as the soul and heart of jerry Garcia may he rest in peace
Smiles, so so beautiful Barb, feels really great listening, how are you doing?
