"Broke-down Palace"

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
out in westport, washington at a friend's birthday party, out under the trees, sitting around a campfire,
this cool ass surfer dude (who lives in seattle) gave me these two live cds for the hell of it after we talked about the dead. i then literally did a backflip off a log i was sitting on, landing on my knees, a complete backflip from a sitting position without spilling my water... craziest thing i ever saw :shock:

Happy Birthday (a day late) JG. We talk so much about this PJ community, but nothing compares to the love I would experience listening to the Dead. Jerry shaped my heart, and my bare feet, and I am forever in love with this band.
Oh Chad, Brokedown Palace touches my heart.... listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.
I'd recommend picking up Mickey Hart's Mystery Box album if you haven't heard it. Some great tracks on it, especially this one with lyrics by Robert Hunter. The tribute to Garcia in the last verse gives me chills every time.
Down the road to Union Station running through the fog
I thought I saw Joe Hill last night grinning like a dog
"I understand they did you in for everyone to see"
He smiled - shook his head - "that's a lie," said he
"I been on a mountain top observing from a cloud
Been in the hearts of workers milling with the crowd
My tears are shed for freedom and equality of means
My blood and perspiration oil the gears of your machine"
Down the road to Massachusetts driving through the night
I thought I saw Jack Kennedy hitchhiking by a light
I hit the brakes - backed up slow, and Kennedy got in
I said, "It's nice to see you lookin' back in shape again
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they gunned you down"
He just shook his head and looked off sadly with a frown
Said, "bullets are like waves, they only rearrange the sand
History turns upon the tides and not the deeds of man"
Driving down to Fiddler's Green to hear a tune or two
I thought I saw John Lennon there, looking kind of blue
I sat down beside him, said "I thought you bought the store"
He said "I heard that rumour, what can I do you for?"
"Have you written anything I might have never heard?"
He picked up his guitar and strummed a minor third
All I can recall of what he sang, for what it's worth
"Long as songs of mine are sung I'm with you on this earth"
From the corner of my eye I saw the sun explode
I didn't look directly 'cause it would have burned my soul
When the smoke and thunder cleared enough to look around
I heard a sweet guitar lick, an old familiar sound
I heard a laugh I recognised come rolling from the earth
Saw it rise into the skies like lightning giving birth
It sounded like Garcia but I couldn't see the face
Just the beard and the glass and a smile on empty space
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
Yo Bro i 2nd this i started to listen to GD IN 76 and saw them a whole bunch of times they were the only band that i Actually followed up & down the eastern sea board and now it's been all PJ SINCE 92 ...

only bands worth traveling more than 50 miles to see (and maybe wilco)
have fun at PJ20
I will be there in spirit
I think there are pieces of my brain in that place from 84 and 89
Just noticed that spotify has most of the Dicks Picks available, as well as the download series.
Just fired up DP #12 (Providence 6/26/74 and Boston 6/28/74).
First track:
Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower
proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono
like a crazy-quilt stargown
through a dream night wind
Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana
like a one-eyed Cheshire
like a diamond-eye Jack
A leaf of all colors plays
a golden string fiddle
to a double-e waterfall over my back
Comic book colors on a violin river
crying Leonardo words
from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell
beneath a shower of pearls
in the eagle wing palace
of the Queen Chinee
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
question for you good people who may know something. did the dead and neil young ever record any music together, did they ever jam together? i'm curious about this and believe it would sound fantastic.

Please don’t dominate the rap Jack
If you’ve got nothing new to say
Either those lyrics are burned into your DNA or you’re clueless, there’s no middle ground. If I play you "New Speedway Boogie" you won’t say RIGHT, I remember hearing that on the radio… Either the closing track on side one of "Workingman’s Dead" is more memorable than anything you learned in college, which is probably where you heard it first, or you’re clueless.
And those clueless are a bigger tribe than those in the know, but those in the know are linked by this music, and their number is HUGE!
After the breakthrough of "Workingman’s Dead" and "American Beauty", Jerry Garcia cut a solo album. It was not a sales juggernaut, but it penetrated the brains of everybody in higher education in those days, the early seventies. And what’s staggering, it’s got legs. They laugh and say no one will be playing the hits of the nineties and early aughts at weddings in the future, but "Sugaree" is as relevant, as much a part of the culture as it was back in ‘72, even though Jerry’s been dead for a decade and a half.
Sure, you heard "Sugaree" a bit on FM radio. I’d argue you heard "Deal" more. But you really didn’t hear much of either. These tracks lived on record and live, where the Grateful Dead played them over and over again, never exactly the same. Just like you look different from year to year, Dead staples evolved, changed, they were not calcified, they were alive.
To the point when Jackie Greene lit into "Sugaree" on Saturday night at Club Nokia, it was like your best friend walking through the front door, like hearing a hit of yore, that you know every note of.
In Mr. Greene’s hands, "Sugaree" lived again. It was the same, yet a little bit different. And in classic Dead fashion, when the vocalizing ended the noodling began, the improvisation, the jamming that gets a bad name but is so riveting when you experience it live.
And this goes on for a while, until Jackie has changed the riff. Yes, could it be, NEW SPEEDWAY BOOGIE?
This was the best song written about Altamont. It’s my favorite on "Workingman’s Dead", I thought I was the only person who noticed the change Saturday night. But soon everybody in attendance gave a whoop! And when Jackie reached the chorus, he stopped singing, and the assembled multitude yelled out MOUNTAIN!
Yup, "Spent a little time on the MOUNTAIN, spent a little time on the hill, Things went down we don’t understand, but I think in time we will."
What we understand now is everybody but Neil Young sold out, ran for the bucks. Reagan legitimized greed and the acts went for it and the business has never been the same since. All we’ve got is endless complaints that you just can’t get rich.
But somehow the Dead figured it out.
Sure, they ended up signing to Arista and having a hit with "Touch Of Grey", Jerry Garcia even designed ties, but if anything, those mainstream efforts detracted from the band’s image and its success. You see long after the Dead’s run in the mainstream’s consciousness, to the degree that was even achieved, the band went on the road and played to an ever-increasing audience, to the point where it was a problem, everybody who showed up without a ticket and wanted to hang on, from city to city.
Imagine that today. A band that’s too successful. YEAR AFTER YEAR!
And they’d work in some new songs. Eventually recording took a back seat, unless you’re speaking of the tapes traded amongst the faithful. To truly get the Dead you had to go, and so many did.
And people say the band was successful because they gave it away for free. That was an element, but the real reason the Dead lived on was the music itself, fans liked it, lived for it, never burned out on it.
You might think the history of music can be quantified. That you can go back into the charts and see what was happening. But that’s untrue. After all the hit bands have faded, gotten plastic surgery and are eking out a living in dives, if that, the Grateful Dead are still monstrous.
It was the music. And Jerry’s image as one of the people who cared about the people.
A hit is not a song on the radio.
It’s something everybody knows.
And more people know "Sugaree" and "New Speedway Boogie" than so much of the dreck that reached mass consciousness once. That tripe has faded away. The Grateful Dead gems live on.
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
The Not Fade Away --> Goin Down the Road Feeling Bad --> Not Fade Away on the new Europe 72 (volume 2) release is fantastic, especially the 2nd half of NFA.
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

3-D as sound
if you let it
between your fingers
if you wore it pouring
lifting and sweeping
dance and rain
swimming solid as gas
it shook back
purple and pink were
liquid blue that you
wore on your hips
the back of your head
to the front of your eyes
played you like chimes
now is part of you
I was listening to Bob Weir's Kingfish album yesterday, and it occured to me that he's not really trying to look like Garcia w/ the beard. He's trying to turn into the cover of Kingfish.
In other news, Mickey Hart is out touring w/ his band. I've seen him on a number of tours (3 Different Planet Drum tours, and w/ Particle). Great chance to see him in a small venue. Looking forward to the Belly Up show in San Diego. One of my favorite venues.

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
"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
Chief Joseph - Nez Perce
It's always sweet to read the lyrics outside of the song.
and this song, the meoldy is as sweet, making the song...
well, yeah, its just beautiful
And they pretty much wrote it again, with Black Muddy River, an equally beautiful song. Ripple is the one that always gets me.
Can't wait for the Europe '72 box.
lazy lightning
out in westport, washington at a friend's birthday party, out under the trees, sitting around a campfire,
this cool ass surfer dude (who lives in seattle) gave me these two live cds for the hell of it after we talked about the dead. i then literally did a backflip off a log i was sitting on, landing on my knees, a complete backflip from a sitting position without spilling my water... craziest thing i ever saw :shock:

A pistol shot at 5 o'clock
The bells of heaven ring
"Tell me what you done it for"
"No I won't tell you a thing
"Yesterday I begged you
before I hit the ground -
all I leave behind me
is only what I found
"If you can abide it
let the hurdy-gurdy play -
Stranger ones have come by here
before they flew away
"I will not condemn you
nor yet would I deny"
"I would ask the same of you
but failing will not die
"Take up your china doll
it's only fractured -
and just a little nervous
from the fall"
