Goose Play “Brokedown Palace” for Phil Lesh

- Grateful Dead bassist died Oct. 25 at 84

Noting Phil Lesh’s “immeasurable impact” on its members, Goose performed “Brokedown Palace” in a musical homage to the late Grateful Dead bassist.

The song - perhaps most notable for bassist Trevor Weekz’s purposeful, booming accents - came late in the second set of Goose’s Oct. 25 concert in North Carolina, hours after Lesh’s death was announced.

Fare you well/fare you well/I love you more than words can tell, one-time Friend Rick Mitarotonda sung in wobbly harmony with his bandmates.

The same night, Phish opened its gig with Lesh’s “Box of Rain.”

“Fare thee well, Phil,” Goose said in posting pro-shot video of “Brokedown.”

“Thank you for the immeasurable impact you’ve had on all of us.”

Rest In Peace, Phil. I’m grateful I got to see him in concert about a dozen times, at Furthur Festivals and with The Other Ones and Phil Lesh & Friends.

Rest in peace, Phil Lesh (March 15, 1940 – October 25, 2024)

I can't claim to be a huge Deadhead, but my husband is, so I've really grown to love them over the years. Box of Rain is such a gorgeous song that's always spoken to me.

And it's just a box of rain

Or a ribbon for your hair

Such a long, long time to be gone

And a short time to be there

[poprocklyrics]

Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams to another land Maybe you're tired and broken Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken And thoughts unclear

Box of Rain, Grateful Dead

Song Review(s): Phil Lesh & Friends - “Cosmic Charlie,” “They Love Each Other,” “The Promised Land” and “Box of Rain” (Live, March 15, 2024)

For those who love Phil Lesh, the poignancy of the former Grateful Dead bassist singing “Box of Rain” on stage surrounded by relative youngsters on his 84th birthday was obvious.

His atonal baritone now raspy, his movements ginger, Lesh sung a fast-paced rendition of the song written for his dying father flanked by his son, Grahame, and guitarist Daniel Donato, and accompanied by Jason Crosby on keys and John Molo on drums while vocalist Amy Helm awaited her turn off stage. Forever searching, Lesh the elder led the band through a unique instrumental interlude before singing the revised, post-Grateful coda:

Such a long, long time to be gone/and a short time to be …

“Box” was one of four livestream giveaways from Lesh & Friends’ March 15 gig in New York. It began with “Cosmic Charlie,” which shuffled across the stage and overcame with music its vocal shortcomings.

Donato was the man at the mic and in the six-string spotlight on “They Love Each Other” and “The Promised Land,” where he shone on the Grateful Dead number and struggled on Chuck Berry’s track.

But the band provided strong support on the musical front as Lesh continued his tradition of torch passing and lighting the way for a new generation of musical seekers.
