My father is near death, as Phil's was in the inspiration for this song. This clip has given me and my siblings much comfort as we wait for Dad's crossing over. Thanks Phil and GD. Be an organ doner.

Mr. Pollard, your Father must have been a special man to have inspired such a great song. You sound like me describing my Father, even though he passed in 2,000. I still miss him so. Dad was my best friend. I was lucky to have been a part of his life and a gleam in his eye. Yours Steven Pettinga

My father died just under a month ago. I was posting something on FB in a group I'm in about my father etc right after he died with Spotify playing in the background. BoR came on while typing and I fucking lost it. And honestly, it's really the only time I have. The only way Jerry could fuck with me more is if it's raining here this Saturday when we hold his service

What a voice, we still have him... love LESH.

✨ For this is all a dream we dreamed One afternoon long ago ✨

Last song that I played my old guy, an old Deadhead, the night before he died. I cherish the t-shirt.

This is the first song I listened to after I found out my grandmother died. I can't believe it's almost been 9 years since she passed. I love and miss you very much.

I miss my GMa too god bless❤

Drove down from Binghamton to see this show, got caught in in a massive Catskill thunderstorm on the way down and traffic was stopped on the GW Bridge and got a parking space...almost missed the show...wow!

Such a great time to see the Grateful Dead! I was there and they are my lighthouse through the storm. Btw Phil sings PERFECT

Phil pushing 84/85 years old.....God Bless.

LET PHILL SING

Lovely, and Phil in fine voice

I was there. The Rainforest Alliance Concert

My favorite song if I had to choose - love it Phil

1:13 the face he gives after he sings that phrase off rhythm reminds me of myself trying sing and play bass 😂

Um…..Phil is the bass player. He’s not playing guitar. I love that oops look he gave.

Superb

Created a gmail account so I could comment on things like this... When I have my memorial service this will be the last song... A box of rain will ease the pain

Música linda que ele fez para o pai que estava para morrer, eu nunca fiz um música para meu pai que morreu e quero que meus filhos façam uma música para mim...

Phil Zone. yay

4:43 phil's voice went off for a second

What a track but I wasn’t aware Dennis The Menace performed it also… and so well .

Phil is unable to sing well (damaged vocal cord). But this song (studio version) is an exceptionally beautiful one. One of my top favorites.

This album is full of chestnuts and by far my favorite Dead album. Mars Hotel is near as good. I wish they had taken more time crafting their albums, they could have had five more like this. Even the album cover expresses a deeper consideration. Steven Pettinga.

Phil isn’t bad here at all, unlike versions in the 00s

Something odd must have happened. Because he starts to sounds really bad sometime in the early 90s. Go listen to him doing Box of Rain in the year or two before Jerry died and he sounds pretty awful. But he sounds alright here, in the late 80s, and this is long after his vocal cord surgery. Wonder what went wrong. There are even other versions around 86-88 where he sings a high F# for the last note and nails it. I'd be really interested to hear him sing it without having to play the bass at the same time.

seeing vince on keyboards reminded me of how he was shut out after jerry's death and how it really pissed me off.
