Grateful Dead - Broken Arrow (Orchard Park, NY 6/13/93)

"This is a rare near-contemporary hit the Grateful Dead covered, joining Hey Jude from 1969 and Werewolves Of London in 1978. Robbie Robertson wrote the song and included it on his 1987 solo debut album. In 1991, Pop superstar Rod Stewart covered the song, and less than two years after its release, the Grateful Dead started covering it, sung by Phil Lesh. A very welcome addition to the setlist." - David Lemieux

When I saw a pic of him off to the side reading a comic book I knew they were a cool bunch, sealed the deal when I found they were peaceful anarchy

[@robertgodinez9132]

When ever I went to a Dead show I sat on Phils' side and chanted " let Phil sing". Their shows were always a wonderful place to be

[@hantayo8579]

Such passion!! This is a crying song, for me. Thanks for so many years, Phil! We love you!! Rest in power, Robbie.

Was there, what a great time to be alive. The future looked brighter... More hope that we would not face the times , we are facing now.

[@krapart]

Woke up to this.... clicked immediately. No regrets

[@TheCrappyZipper]

[@ChefTareck]

No. No regrets.

Phil, voice, so strong. Moving across the water. There you go Turning my whole world around

[@Twotontessie]

Hard to believe so much time has gone. Phil just 53 here. ❤

[@RadagastBrown420]

Jerry was 51

[@trdsf]

And I was just 29. Two lifetimes ago, it seems.

[@christophersmith9613]

I was at this show. Drove over the border from Canada with a whack of friends. We had taken some great acid, played frisbee and laughed like crazy. Best times of my life.

[@floepiejane]

A whack of friends lol. Is that Canadian or just you?

[@kevinwhelehan421]

Sounds like you got pretty whacked! 😂

[@jasonwebb6484]

Me too man. Was worried about driving across the border but made it fine. One of the best days ever

[@jackklarich7045]

There was a radio blip years ago, Get out of bed, fix your head and see the Dead, RIP Robbie, your legend lives on thru Phil singing your song. Lesh is the best bass player period, and has a strong voice

[@jbrice2010]

God bless Phil.

[@kidcharlemagne76]

Robbie Robertson May his memory be a blessing

[@jackstraw4129]

In 93 I was not the more knowledgeable Deadhead then as I am now(hehe). But I remember standing in the Omni I think and I heard the beginning of Broken Arrow around me. It so happens in HS I had that RR solo album so I knew the song. I was silly happy and spread the word.Young, fun times. RIP Robbie Robertson.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that until this morning I did not know who wrote the song. My mom has this loathing thing for Rod Stewart, and so do I to a point. The Faces stuff is pretty cool. Anyway in 8th grade in 91 his version was on the radio a lot, and I really liked it. When I heard the Dead play it (on tape) a handful of years later I was instantly enamored, although I didn’t quite understand why they were playing a Rod Stewart song. The melody is absolutely infectious. Makes sense it’s a Robbie song.

[@DenisePierro]

God Bless you. Many many more luv!!

[@BlackStratCat]

Love this song so much. Thanks Robbie… and Phil!

[@hantayo8579]

Thanks Robbie. Thanks Phil, Thanks Jerry, Bobby, Billy, Mickey, everyone. Thanks family, thank you God. For the Grateful Dead. For everything. WE GOT MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB!! All my love.

[@1bigbillz]

Phil used to rock this song with Phil and friends. Great versions out there

[@stuartzoo]

I love Phil’s voice.

[@thx1138thecrane]

On the song, yeah it works perfectly.

[@williamthurstoniii5]

Good old Phil still kicking and dropping the Phat Phil Bombs. He is my favorite member of the GRATEFUL DEAD. And will be always. PEACE & SAFETY to all. RIP Robby Robertson.

[@WillowDailyShorts]

My only show :)

[@andylawson87]

Me & Bobby McGee was also a " contemporary" radio song when the Dead started playing it live in 1971.

[@dementedpuppy]

Love this song so much. Thank you Phil.

[@mdell7131]

Brought me back to the Phil zone ❤❤❤❤❤

I always come back to this at certain times in my life. Some times come quicker than others. No matter the time though

[@pamelag1838]

Love it 😇. Memories. Lyrical majestic vibes. 🛐🔥🔥🔥. Blessings. Only one Grateful Dead.

[@floepiejane]

It *is* the one I was lucky enough to see. Killer. The sound was amazing in the Phil Zone that day, as it is here. Much appreciated!! This is the first time I've heard this show sound so good, and the first time ever that I've seen video. Cheers! ✌🏽🌻

[@Jacob-Vivimord]

I didn't realise Robbie died just earlier this month. RIP.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

Dude he died on the same day as Jerry 28 years later. Pretty wild.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

Well there you goww then. I wonder if Phil was influenced to do this song at least in part by the Box of Rain/bottle of rain connection.

[@nickpavone5220]

Love Phil ❤

[@DRAGNET-pn5vf]

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN, AKA THE BAND. PEACE AND BLESSINGS.🙏🇺🇲✌️👍🏻

[@MrStuVW]

Soo Beautiful this Song ❤️ we Always loved when Phil would sing. . Yes we Do ❤🤗

[@deadhead4206]

Love when Phil would sing at shows

[@jroc2201]

I heard him sing " Tom Thumbs Blues" at Hershey Park, was it 1986? I can still remember it , can still remember the sound

[@deadhead4206]

@jroc2201 that would been awesome.

[@trdsf]

I think the first time I heard Phil sing was at the Rubber Bowl in '86 when they closed on 'Box of Rain'... I could have damn near floated home on the happiness that gave me.

[@shadeshiest22]

I like his studio songs, Unbroken Chain off Mars Hotel is my fav

[@cocreatechange852]

Thank you for introducing me to the Grateful Dead, @frank.rising, and for the great times in California. You held my heart. RIP. 💗

[@casseyeaton4497]

🏜🏕🏛

[@WarGrrl3]

Phil Lesh and Jack Casady are the two BEST Bassists ever. No others even come close. Thank you Phil and Jack. Your Bass (n Music) beats thru me then, now and allways. Blessings everybody and remember: Be Kind. 💙❤️ My Sisters used to see me 'trippin' thru the audience and pull me backstage. Phil was always moving, running around and smiling, it was like he brought happiness n positivity w him everywhere he went. Don't know he was w others but once when he and i turned around at the same time and totally collided, instead of getting annoyed he just smiled and we laughed as both of us were apologizing for the collision (even tho he was hurrying to get back onstage for the 2nd set).

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

Nice War story!

[@shadeshiest22]

Right? I thought Unbroken Chain was the ONLY song Phil sung, and I absolutely LOVE that song on Mars Hotel album especially! Wish he had more songs, is there any others?

[@sugrmag3]

Don’t forget Box of Rain!

Just like Tom Thumbs Blues also.

Is there a Studio version of this song??

[@ImaLeshLushnIcantgetmyPhil]

Yes, on Robbie Robertson’s self titled solo album released in 87. He wrote it, within a couple of years it had been covered/recorded by many people.

[@shadeshiest22]

@@ImaLeshLushnIcantgetmyPhil oh thanks! But I’m sure Phil isn’t singing it on RR’s album though right? I was wanting a studio version of GD with Phil singing

[@ImaLeshLushnIcantgetmyPhil]

@@shadeshiest22 Know what you were looking for, it doesn’t exist. The information is the origin of the song.

[@pearlybaker2524]

@@shadeshiest22 negative - don't you know all of their studio songs? Unless you're referring to a Dick's or Dave's Picks, or some other live release (not what you'd call a "studio" release), you should know that this wasn't on any of the limited Dead's studio albums.

I love every imperfection that is the Grateful Dead but I sometimes wonder why they didn't just get a singer. They had a song writer.
