Robert Hunter-Box Of Rain.wmv

The Robert Hunter version of Phil's song for his dying father. From the Jack Of Roses LP, long out of print. Captures the feel better than any Dead version. From wikipedia: "According to lyricist Hunter, Lesh "wanted a song to sing to his dying father and had composed a piece complete with every vocal nuance but the words. If ever a lyric 'wrote itself,' this did—as fast as the pen would pull."[2] Lesh practiced the song driving to the nursing home where his father lay with terminal cancer."
