Quote:
What is night of a 1000 stars??
It's a newer Hunter/Lesh song, written in 2001 and performed by Phil Lesh & Friends. And The Dead played it six times last summer. It's a beautiful song that I've witnessed twice in person, once by PLQ and the other time by The Dead last summer at Red Rocks.
Full moon rising over Alcatraz Hangin' there like a big topaz Ruling this night of a thousand stars With a back seat full of broken guitars Raised in chains by Jehosaphat's daughter Served twenty years for walkin' on the water Just out fishin' for love in the rain From an easy chair in the passing lane If I had forgotten, I'd remember well The fruit and the tree from which it fell Many long years rollin' homeward bound Goin' hell-for-leather on this merry go round
Chorus Night of a thousand stars The sound of sweet guitars On this night (on this night) On this night (on this night) On this night (on this night) On this night of a thousand stars
Down in the laundry with my head in my hands Doin' whatsoever the Lord commands Poppin' the hood off a Ford V8 Disguised with an out of state licence plate Payin' my taxes in whiskey and blood Mixed in a barrel floating on the flood Doing my penance for a life of crime Singing B Minor Masses in double time The tiger and the lion hanging on the wall Between the head of a saint and a bocce ball I've been rebuked and I've been scorned But I can't ever say that I haven't been warned
[chorus]
I tried to serve you right I tried to serve you well It looked all right by morning light In hindsight - who can tell? I don't know what to tell Truth or farewell
Flipping though the pages of my soul My heart rears up and swallows me whole These were moments of my life Since dissected with a thick blunt knife If I could recapture one moment of truth From the firm foundation of a misspent yourh I'd fall like rain on this thirsty earth A testament of beauty and worth But if it don't happen because it can't I hope and pray this wish you grant From one man's heart to a falling star We always remember who we are
Remember the night of a thousand stars When love swam naked in the reservoir Writing mad sonnets in the midnight park Leaving tracks of tears for her watermark Drums of the jungle on the edge of night Only you could see with your perfect sight If you don't remember you can be excused 'Cause it could never be reproduced
[chorus]

I'm heading out to CO as soon as I get done with work Friday afternoon. Drive across Nebraska all night and enjoy a nice mountain day before hitting up the Saturday show. And apparently a friend of one of the guys going with us has said we can crash at his place.... excellent! I'll be at Sunday night's show, too.
What time do they finish playing at night? I ask because after Sunday's set I gotta haul-ass back home so my buddies and I can work :-(

Bye everyone! Look for me, gr8ful420 k. They will probably be done around 11:00 pm or so. I have to fucking drive all night home after that show. UGH. So if you all don't see me around these parts anymore you will know what happened to me.
Have a great weekend everyone! One LOVE!

hope the sets are awesome. wish i could've made the pilgrimage to RR. too bad. maybe next year. can't wait for them to make it to NE. i'm hitting up three shows around here. oh yeah, anybody coming back from RR see any fresh blotter? that would complement the music ever so nicely.
