Help on the Way


Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames.
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun.
Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone.

Tell me the cost; I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost.

Sell everything; without love day to day insanity's king.
I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key.
Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see.

Help on the way, well, I know only this, I've got you today.

Don't fly away, cause I love what I love and I want it that way.
I will stay one more day, like I say, honey it's you.
Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true.

Franklins Tower


In another time's forgotten space
Your eyes looked through your mother's face
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you lose your way
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
God save the child who rings that bell
I may have one good ring baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused just listen to the music play
Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed in the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew

The Music Never Stopped


There's mosquitoes on the river Fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now,
Too hot to even speak now, Did you hear what I just heard?

Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind

But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now
Listen here it comes again!

There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town

It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands.

Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine,

You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord
The band kept us too busy we forgot about the time.

They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir

People joining hand in hand While the music played the band, Lord
They're setting us on fire.

Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, Balls of lightin' roll along

Old men sing about their dreams, Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playin' on.

Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, Greet the mornin' air with song

No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone. Was it ever there at all?
But they keep on dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands
Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday, And the corn's a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancin' Full of singin' and romancin'
The music never stopped.

Crazy Fingers


Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder keeping time

Recall the days that still are to come

Some sing blue

Hang your heart on laughing willow

Stray down to the water
Deep Sea of Love

Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea

Swift undertow

Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know

See how it feels in the end
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you
Soft, strong, sweet and true

Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow

Tapping at the window touch your hair

So swift and bright

Strange figures of light
Float in air

Who can stop what must arrive now?

Something new is waiting to be born

Dark as the night

You're still by my side
Shining side

Gone are the days we stopped to decide

Where we should go
We just ride

Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams

Gone - both dream and lie

Life may be sweeter for this I don't know

Feels like it might be alright
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you
Love still rings true

Midnight on a carousel ride

Reaching for the gold ring down inside

Never could reach

It just slips away but I try

Blues for Allah: Sand Castles and Glass Camels / Unusual Occurrences in the Desert


Arabian wind
The needle's eye is thin
The Ships of State sail on mirage
And drown in sand
Out in No-man's Land
Where Allah does command
What good is spilling
Blood?It will not
Grow a thing
Taste eternity
The swords sings Blues for Allah
In'sh Allah
They lie where they fall
There's nothing more to say
The desert stars are bright tonight
Let's meet as friends
The Flower of Islam
The Fruit of Abraham
The thousand stories have
Come 'round to one again
Arabian night
Our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of
Darkness spring from
Seeds of light
Bird of paradise - Fly
In white sky
Blues for Allah
In'sh'Allah
Let's see with our heart
These things our eyes have seen
And know the truth must still lie
Somewhere in between
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Blue
Bird of paradise
Fly
In white sky
Under eternity
Blues
For Allah
In'sh'Allah

Help on the Way > (Live at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, Soundcheck/Rehearsal, 8/12/1975)


Paradise waits On the crest of a wave her angels in flame
She has no pain
Like a child she is pure, she is not to blame
Poised for flight, wings spread bright
Spring from night into the sun
Don't stop to run
She can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone
Tell me the cost
I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost
Sell everything
Without love day to day, insanity's king
I will pay, day by day
Anyway, lock, bolt and key
Crippled but free
I was blind all the time I was learning to see
Help on the way
Well I know only this, I've got you today
Don't fly away
'Cause I love what I love and I want it that way
I will stay, one more day
Like I say, honey, it's you
Making it too
Without love in the dream it'll never come true

Franklin's Tower (Live at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, Soundcheck/Rehearsal, 8/12/1975)


They hung out on the common, and they put it all on the line
For the right to be with their own kind
And there's a million women and a million men,
And one or two of them are gonna be friends,
And there's a million women and a million men,
And they're all looking for the same thing
And there's a train bound for glory,
Can't you hear the whistle blowin'?
And there's a mountain of a woman,
She's gonna carry you to glory
And the train's a-bound for glory
And the sun is gonna shine
On your doorstep
And the sun is gonna shine
On your doorstep
And the sun is gonna shine
On your doorstep
The sun is gonna shine, shine, shine
But the air is getting heavy
Like it's about to rain
And the clouds are gathering overhead
And a man's gotta get paid for his day's work
And the train is bound for glory
But it can't be found in the book
And the sun is gonna shine
On your doorstep
And the sun is gonna shine
On your doorstep
And the sun is gonna shine
On your doorstep
The sun is gonna shine, shine, shine
Franklin's tower, it's gonna be alright
Franklin's tower, it's gonna be alright
Franklin's tower, it's gonna be alright
Franklin's tower, it's gonna be alright

Crazy Fingers (Live at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, Soundcheck/Rehearsal, 8/12/1975)


Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder, keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come
Some sing blue
Hang your heart on laughing willow
Stray down to the water
Deep sea of love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea
Swift undertow
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
See how it feels in the end
May Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you
Soft, strong, sweet and true
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
Tapping at the window, touch your hair
Dark as the night
You're still by my side
Shining side
Who can stop what must arrive now?
Something new is waiting to be born
Dark as the night
You're still by my side
Shining side
Gone are the days we stopped to decide
Where we should go
We just ride
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
Gone - both dream and lie
[Instrumental break]
Life may be sweeter for this I don't know
Feels like it might be alright
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you
Love still rings true
Midnight on a carousel ride
Reaching for the gold ring down inside
Never could reach it
It just slips away when I try
[Instrumental break with drum solo]

Blues for Allah (Live at Kezar Stadium, San Francisco, CA, 3/23/75)


Arabian wind
The needle's eye is thin
The Ships of State sail on mirage
And drown in sand
Out in No-man's Land
Where Allah does command
What good is spilling
Blood?It will not
Grow a thing
Taste eternity
The swords sings Blues for Allah
In'sh Allah
They lie where they fall
There's nothing more to say
The desert stars are bright tonight
Let's meet as friends
The Flower of Islam
The Fruit of Abraham
The thousand stories have
Come 'round to one again
Arabian night
Our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of
Darkness spring from
Seeds of light
Bird of paradise - Fly
In white sky
Blues for Allah
In'sh'Allah
Let's see with our heart
These things our eyes have seen
And know the truth must still lie
Somewhere in between
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Blue
Bird of paradise
Fly
In white sky
Under eternity
Blues
For Allah
In'sh'Allah

The Music Never Stopped (Live at Tower Theater, Philadelphia, PA, 6/21/1976)


There's mosquitoes on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now
Too hot to even speak now
Did you hear what I just heard?
Say it might have been a fiddle (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Or it could have been the wind (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But there seems to be a beat now (Ooh)
I can feel it my feet now (Ooh)
Listen, here it comes again
There's a band out on the highway
They're high-stepping into town
It's a rainbow full of sound
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody's dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on, clap your hands
Well, the sun went down in honey
And the moon came up in wine
You know stars were spinning dizzy
Lord, the band kept us too busy
We forgot about the time
They're a band beyond description
Like Jehovah's favorite choir
People joining hand in hand
While the music played the band
Lord, they're setting us on fire
Crazy rooster crowing midnight (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Balls of lightning roll along (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Old men sing about their dreams (Ooh)
Women laugh and children scream (Ooh)
And the band keeps playing on
Keep on dancing through the daylight
Greet the morning air with song
No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone
Were they ever here at all?
But they kept on dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on, clap your hands
Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday
And the corn's a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancing
Full of singing and romancing
The music never stopped

Help on the Way > (Live at Tower Theater, Philadelphia, PA, 6/21/1976)


Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun
Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone
Tell me the cost; I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost
Sell everything; without love day to day insanity's king
I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key
Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see
Help on the way, well, I know only this, I've got you today
Don't fly away, 'cause I love what I love and I want it that way
I will stay one more day, like I say, honey it's you
Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true

Franklin's Tower (Live at Tower Theater, Philadelphia, PA, 6/21/1976)


In another time's forgotten space
Your eyes looked through your mother's face
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you lose your way
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
God save the child who rings that bell
I may have one good ring baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused just listen to the music play
Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed in the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew

Crazy Fingers (Live at Tower Theater, Philadelphia, PA, 6/22/1976)


Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder
Keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come
Some sing blue
Hang your heart on laughing willow
Stray down to the water
Deep sea of love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea
Swift undertow
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
See how it feels in the end
May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you
Soft, strong, sweet and true
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
Tapping at the window
Touch your hair
So swift and bright, strange figures of light (note 1)
Float in air
Who can stop what must arrive now?
Something new is waiting
To be born
Dark as the night you're still by my side
Shining side (note 2)
Gone are the days we stopped to decide
Where we should go, we just ride
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
Gone, both dream and lie
Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
Feels like it might be alright
While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you (note 3)
Love still rings true

Comes a Time (Live at Tower Theater, Philadelphia, PA, 6/22/1976)


Comes a time when the blind man takes your arm, says "Don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill
Been walking all morning, went walking all night
I can't see much difference between the dark and light
And I feel the wind, and I taste the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much pain
Comes a time when the blind man takes your arm, says "Don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill
[Guitar Solo]
From day to day just letting it ride
You get so far away from how it feels inside
You can't let go 'cause you're afraid to fall
But the day may come when you can't feel at all
Comes a time when the blind man takes your arm, says "Don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill
Only love can fill
Only love can fill

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago

In New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging and swaying and records playing
Dancing in the street
Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, ev'ry guy, grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world
They'll be dancing. (Dancing in the street.)

It's an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
Dancing in the street

Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music, sweet music

This is the Blues For Allah (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

BLUES FOR ALLAH is the Dead's unique vision, a deeply humane parable that framed their own artistic renewal in the most inclusive, expansive terms. Fifty years later, it remains one of their most musically successful and resolutely experimental albums. - Nicholas G. Meriwether, Executive Director of the Grateful Dead Studies Association, BLUES FOR ALLAH (50TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION) Liner Note Writer

When the Grateful Dead took a self-imposed hiatus in 1974 after their farewell run at Winterland, they left the road with no clear sense of when- or if- they'd return. A year later, the band surprised everyone when they reemerged with BLUES FOR ALLAH, one of the most forward-thinking, sonically adventurous albums of their career.

The BLUES FOR ALLAH (50TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION) features a newly remastered version of the original album by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer David Glasser, sourced from the original analog tapes with speed correction and tape restoration by Plangent Processes.

The set also features almost two hours of unreleased recordings. Among the highlights are rehearsals from the band's August 12, 1975, soundcheck at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, including the album tracks "Sage & Spirit," "Help On The Way," "Slipknot!," and "Franklin's Tower." The collection continues with performances from the June 21, 1976, show at the Tower Theatre in Pennsylvania, spotlighting five BLUES FOR ALLAH songs alongside favorites like "Eyes Of The World." Rounding out the set are selections from Bill Graham's SNACK (Students Need Athletics, Culture, and Kicks) Benefit at Kezar Stadium on March 23, 1975. Previously only available on the 2004 Beyond Description box set's Bonus Disc, the recordings include one of only three known performances of "King Solomon's Marbles."

BLUES FOR ALLAH saw the Grateful Dead attempt something they never had before- and never would again. They would make the record almost entirely without pre-written material.

Working at Bobby Weir's home studio- just big enough to hold the band and their gear- the sessions took on an intimate, exploratory feel. Robert Hunter was back in the thick of it, writing lyrics on the spot as the songs took shape. Keith Godchaux's keys gave the album its spacious texture, while Donna Jean's harmony vocals elevated songs like "The Music Never Stopped." "Crazy Fingers" became, in Phil Lesh's words, "a marvelous essay in smoky ambiguity." The mostly instrumental title suite pushed even further out, with Bill Kreutzmann saying it "bordered on acid-jazz composition." Mickey Hart's role was central, weaving percussion- and slowed-down field recordings of crickets- into a rich, immersive tapestry of sound.
