I sang this song for my sister last Monday, as I was driving home from Eugene, having said my final farewell and goodbye. A good and great sister, she turned me onto the Dead in '69. I cried the whole back to SF. This song always makes me cry. Now Phil can sing to her. Love and miss you, Katy
I started crying this morning hearing I'll Fly Away by Gillian and David, and the tears continued with this. It was a powerful moment with my two girls. This music is nearly impossible to explain to those who don't get it. 😢
Thanks for posting! I went the night before. When I heard Phil died Friday, I knew they would play something for him. I predicted “He’s Gone”, but this is fantastic.
Fare you well my honey Fare you well my only true one All the birds that were singing Have flown except you alone Going 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 Going home, going home By the waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul Going 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 Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jerry Garcia / Robert Hunter
I saw them sing this in Athens Ga way back in 2006 and haven't found a recording of them doing it until now. The performance back then was spine-tingling, pure magic
As Jackson wrote "You have nothing to lose Through every dead and living thing Time runs like a fuse And the fuse is burning And the earth is turning" So long Phil.
Oooo, keep this in rotation! Such a great encore. Now, "Must've Been the Roses", "To Lay Me Down", "Peggy~O", "Jack~A~Roe", "Black Muddy River ", maybe a "China Doll", don't forget "Ripple" (always pairs nicely w Brokendown), and then I'm sure you could rip a "Sugaree", oh how about "Cassidy"? Oh wait, "Bird Song", oh, duh... "Box of Rain"! "Sing Me Back Home", ...I guess that'll do for now, have fun with it! Love to Ya~~~> ✨⚡🧙🏾♂️⚡✨
Who’s the bass player dude? Was he just a guest that night or is he touring with them? I’m going to see them next month, and was hoping it was just the two of them. Not that that would ruin my enjoyment, though
@@joykillssorrow8411 It definitely sounds good here, gives low-quality recording weight to their capoed guitars. It makes sense too, as it's a tribute to a bass player that died.
I'm sorry I'm late. Nobody told me something ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING was happening. How...how do you even respond to this? This is one of those shows and moments you hate yourself for not being at, but totally know the universe is a better place for it happening. 🤲🌀☀️ to the ancient, to the old, and to the new...gid speed

What a beautiful performance. Fare thee well Phil. May the four winds blow you safely home.
If anyone else besides the Dead could give this song the love and care it deserves, it would be these guys.
I thought only Jerry could bring a tear to my eye with this song. I was wrong.
Another lovelight has gone out, but new ones emerge every day.
The Watkins Family Hour does an excellent version also
Beautiful tribute to Phil. You two are so great.
Tears are rolling down my face
This is the kind of music I miss. Just honest voices and instruments, in beautiful harmony.
Thanks for posting! I went the night before. When I heard Phil died Friday, I knew they would play something for him. I predicted “He’s Gone”, but this is fantastic.
Exquisite version of this song. If heaven exists I'd like to think Jerry and Phil are smiling down at you three.
thank you, oh luminous ones, for this stunning tribute to a true legend.
An ocean of tears and smiles, smiles,smiles
This makes me cry for all that we have lost. We will meet again at the jubilee.❤❤❤❤
Thank you for such beauty. Goodbye Phil, and thanks man.
I’m not crying, you are.
Thank you Gillian and David. PHIL!
more than words can tell....
I've always wanted them to cover a GD ballad. This is beautiful and moving. Thanks for sharing!

They did China doll years ago at hsbg as well. Perfectly.
Oh my. Thank you so much for the recording and sharing this.
Thinking of all who I have lost. RIP
Peace forever Phil, may your journey into the great beyond be glorious. Thank you.
Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Going 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
Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Going 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

Love to Ya~~~>
✨⚡🧙🏾♂️⚡✨
actually they opened the show with it...which was powerful and perfect! & yeah, hopefully more Dead covers spill out once the tour resumes...
@ cool. Good to know. Dead used to play it in all different slots, I think as an encore is best.
💙🤍❤🤍💙
