Furthur, Mountain Song, Greek Theater LA, 9-21-10 Video

Furthur Rehearsal

This was on Paul Kantner's "Planet Earth Rock and Roll". I also have it on an bootleg outtake disc from David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name" Garcia, Jorma, Crosby, Grace Slick and whole crew of awesome players including possibly Phil & Bobby, you'll have to ask them, were at the rehearsals in Marin 1970. Phil and Brian Lesh reworked it into this song - it's probably still evolving....

   Built a fortress on a hill
   I built a castle in the sky
   I built a lean-to in the village down below
   A fountain where the land was dead and dry
   I built a palace overlooking seven seas
   I built a church upon a stone
   Gonna let my pastures go to seed
   And let the mountain be my home

   A monument of marble raised
   Against the day I die
   And on the capstone just one word
   And that one word is "why?"
   Gonna leave my dusty bones
   By the path on which they fall
   Halfway up some mountain trail
   Where the timberline stands tall

   I hear the golden eagle's
   Disappearing cry
   Wings of beaten lightning flash
   From skies beyond the sky.
   God writes testament in stars
   Believe no word you read
   Until you see what action
   Has been mothered by the deed
   The mountain makes no promises
   A thing I understand
   Rather look down from the height
   Than up here from the land

   The god damn show talkers going on and on and on during this video. God I hate getting stuck next to one. It's ok to say a few things now and then relating to the show but keep the long conversations out in the lot or the hallway.
