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]

:heart:

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. :wink: 

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.
