I love this this song. My son wanted this played at his funeral. I play it so so much. It reminds me of him. Here's for you my Angel Boy Thomas. Mom loves you and misses you so very much each and every day.
I only got to see them twice the last two nights at the Greek theatre in Berkeley in 2013, I got on the bus six months earlier. Glad I got to see them. But I was just saying how I wish I could've discovered this music a few years earlier and had a solid few years of Furthur. I need to go see Phil before or after dead Co this year. It's been almost six or 7 years since Phil , it was a few days before thxgiving , riding Greyhound, on my way to Vegas to see Dead Co for the first time. I realized I was near TxR and the bus come by and I got off. Phil it turns out was doing a thxgiving show and having traditional meal, scored an extra five min after I arrived and I had enough time to eat dinner with Phill and his family, he carved the turkey, and almost catch the whole show before going south to Vegas. I spoke with him out back and thanked him. He was about to tell me what new music he has been listening too but something interrupted him and I always wonder what new band I would've learned from him. Must go see him ASAP
Phil Lesh is a national treasure. Oteil is very talented but you can't have Grateful Dead music without Phil's counter punctual mastery. Personally, I don't find Mayor's soaring ego filled solos over Althea, Dew etc impressive.
@@raygunner2437 Yeah Crosby was involved in the genesis of this song this is an adaptation (by Furthur) of Robert Hunter's re-working of the original "Mountain Jam" (see www.whitegum.com/introjs.htm?/songfile/LETTHEMO.HTM and www.whitegum.com/introjs.htm?/songfile/MOUNTSON.HTM )
Winter of '70/'71. Crosby was in on it as was Grace Slick and others. Gorgeous song. It was recorded during Garcia and Crosby's solo album efforts, if I am not mistaken. Three versions are on the bootleg and they all grow as they go, with banjo added at one point. Great stuff.
I went walking out last summer Trying to find a breath of air I went walking on the mountain A friend had told me I'd find you there 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 pleasant pastures go to seed Gonna let the mountain be my home Gonna make the mountains be my home ('Cause the sky above me is gold) Gonna make the mountains be my home (The river is dark) Gonna free my soul to roam (The river is dark, down to the sea) Gonna make the mountains be my home ('Cause the sky above is gold) A monument of marble raised Against the day I die And on the capstone just one word And that one word was "why?" Gonna leave my dusty bones By the path on which they fall Halfway up some mountain trail Where the timberline stands tall Gonna let the mountains be my home (I'm going to move) Gonna let the mountains be my home (I want to breathe) Gonna free my soul to roam (I'm going to move on) Gonna make the mountains be my home (I think I put on my saddle and ride) I heard the golden eagle's Disappearing cry Wings of beaten lightning flashed From skies beyond the sky God writes testament in stars Believe no words 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 Gonna let the mountains be my home (Such a long time) Gonna let the mountains be my home (I want to breathe) Gonna free my soul to roam (I'm gonna move mountains) Gonna make the mountains be my home (I'm gonna move) Gonna make the mountains be my home Just got to breathe Just got to breathe Just got to breathe Just got to breathe
Phil should have been this assertive with the GD.The vibe is so good that you wish they would have broken out Unbroken Chain before they hit the stadiums.
This was my husband and I's first song we danced to. I've since moved 2200 and made the "mountain" be my home alone. Funny how life works out❤ ❤🖤💙RIP John
They played it last night at The Greek in L.A. So awesome! Had never heard this beautiful song before last night. So glad I lucky enough to be there for it.
it was originally written by david crosby, later lyrics written by r. hunter were found that were for mountain song and they were added aswell as phils sons addition
David Maxey Phil's son wrote part of this song? Graham really kills lead guitar with Midnight North and TFB. didn't know he wrote songs too. JK is really nailing his parts on this! love his sound
Ogni gruppo che si è cimentato nella rielaborazione di questo brano mi ha sempre sorpreso positivamente con la sua versione: significa che Jerry, David, Paul & Grace all'epoca crearono UN VERO E PROPRIO DIAMANTE GREZZO !!!! Long life to the musicians of the "Perro Wally Heider sessions"
Where to start ! The pianist blew me away!The band and your lyrics are peacefully incredible!I lituarly got goose bumps.Well EXECUTED and brilliantly talented band.Thank you for sharing. ❤
My Thomas wanted this song played at his funeral. It was on his fb page my Sister found it. He said if anyone cared I wanted this played at my funeral. I didn't have a funeral for him. He died of an over dose. Long story short I had is body brought back to me. I spent 45 minutes with him. Then I had him cremated. We had a private service just family. This song was played for him with a copy of the words. I play it over and over for my sweet Angel boy.
this is a great tune...reminds me a tad of ekoostik Hookah & that is a good thing as these are the Champagnes of Music...to me & my family & my tribe...
It is either Phil or Jaco Pastorious i don't think there is any other serious contenders. certainly not Bootsy or Flea who are good but not on this level.
@@glyn420 @Nate Wagner lol I think Jaco has an edge on any of them, but you know, I take Pat Metheny's word for it and all. Seriously, they all do certain things well. The vis-a-vis musician comparisons are really the work of the dullard. I mean I can hear the metalheads now, "what do you mean?!?! CLIFF BURTON, MAN!!!!!". There are a lot of fantastic electric bass players and many have different styles, and that's a beautiful thing. It's not sports.
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
thier playing this perro song because jerry loved it you think they dont miss him like we do they miss their brother so thay play what they rember he like jerry wood love this band phil&boby we love ya you know its true look @ 7 15 2012 seen alot of love for futher that night
Always preferred the " Perro Sessions" version to the version PK did on the PERRO album ( not that it's a bad Album, it's very good), but this has a lot in common with those early jams, but Paul (RIP) with His stripped down JS a few years ago did a lot of tunes from PERRO and this was done well.
Phil Lesh, just who in the hell do you think you are sir?!?! Going out and playing Earth-shattering rock and roll night in and night out at nearly 72 years old. Didn't you hear your friend Grace Slick talking about how rock stars shouldn't be out there at 60years old? Apparently Gracie needs to get out and see your act, and see what it is like for a 70 year old Rock God to demonstrate his Rock Godshead!! :) And she should check out her old friend Jorma, like I will be doing tonight in SFO
@Jason Dalton-Earls Paul Kanter and Grace Slick were Jefferson Airplane and then Jefferson Starship! They were one of the first bands on the scene in San Francisco back in the 60's! Their band is legendary! So next time you so ignorantly ask a question, starting word "fu*k, please try to be a little humble, if you know what that means...
John is really a good fit. Sorry, Warren and Jimmy just did not appeal to me. And Phil....I used to hide when Phil took the vocals years ago. He is much, much better now on vocals.
Phil deserves the endorphin rush from singing just as much as anyone! It takes real balls to sing like he does at this late age. Bobby too, what a growl, like "street cats making love..." Love it!
His singing voiceis between Jerry's but deeper, and not as clean as Bobby's, which suits me fine. Not real exciting, but nice slightly rough texture. 👍🏻
I love this this song. My son wanted this played at his funeral. I play it so so much. It reminds me of him. Here's for you my Angel Boy Thomas. Mom loves you and misses you so very much each and every day.
I'm sorry about your son. May God be with and comfort you.
it's a beautiful song
God be with you and your family
God bless you
Words cant express how much I miss this band
Better song choices and arrangements better than dead and co.
Same here . This song is so powerful. loved it when I heard it live . Nice to hear it completed after 3 decades .

if you're just finding this song, you owe it to yourself to research it's history and evolution.
Actually I can only find this one entitled "Let the Mountain be My Home" ... fascinating finding this gem so close after the loss of Robert Hunter
@@raygunner2437 Yeah Crosby was involved in the genesis of this song this is an adaptation (by Furthur) of Robert Hunter's re-working of the original "Mountain Jam" (see www.whitegum.com/introjs.htm?/songfile/LETTHEMO.HTM and www.whitegum.com/introjs.htm?/songfile/MOUNTSON.HTM )

Now just wondering...is this band named after a BUS??
Planet earth rock n roll orchestra. Perro sessions
I went walking out last summer
Trying to find a breath of air
I went walking on the mountain
A friend had told me I'd find you there
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 pleasant pastures go to seed
Gonna let the mountain be my home
Gonna make the mountains be my home
('Cause the sky above me is gold)
Gonna make the mountains be my home
(The river is dark)
Gonna free my soul to roam
(The river is dark, down to the sea)
Gonna make the mountains be my home
('Cause the sky above is gold)
A monument of marble raised
Against the day I die
And on the capstone just one word
And that one word was "why?"
Gonna leave my dusty bones
By the path on which they fall
Halfway up some mountain trail
Where the timberline stands tall
Gonna let the mountains be my home
(I'm going to move)
Gonna let the mountains be my home
(I want to breathe)
Gonna free my soul to roam
(I'm going to move on)
Gonna make the mountains be my home
(I think I put on my saddle and ride)
I heard the golden eagle's
Disappearing cry
Wings of beaten lightning flashed
From skies beyond the sky
God writes testament in stars
Believe no words 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
Gonna let the mountains be my home
(Such a long time)
Gonna let the mountains be my home
(I want to breathe)
Gonna free my soul to roam
(I'm gonna move mountains)
Gonna make the mountains be my home
(I'm gonna move)
Gonna make the mountains be my home
Just got to breathe
Just got to breathe
Just got to breathe
Just got to breathe
"Gonna let the mountain be my home
Gonna let the mountain be my home
Gonna free my fed up soul to roam
Gonna make the mountain be my home"
Phil should have been this assertive with the GD.The vibe is so good that you wish they would have broken out Unbroken Chain before they hit the stadiums.
Mountain Song + Pride of Cucamonga = Best Phil songs ever!!!!!!
Box of Chain?
Thank Phil and Brian for writing and thanks to Furthur, this song makes my eyes water with happy feelings
This song worms me up too ahhh 😭
Wow this was outstanding, you can feel jerry listening to that from above, beautiful rendition
Close your eye's... You can hear Jerry.. This touches my heart.
This was my husband and I's first song we danced to. I've since moved 2200 and made the "mountain" be my home alone. Funny how life works out❤
❤🖤💙RIP John
Best song ever. Jerry is smiling with tears on his face. He’d be proud of this band
good song...but "best song over"?!? Get real
Never forget how good this song makes you feel
I love Phil singing this! He loves to tell a story
Jeff and Sunshine's backing vocals are so powerful during the change ups
Why 1 dislike? This song is absolutely amazing! Heard it live at Redrocks and fell in love
Me 2! Me 2!!
This is just beautiful. Love this band with JK!
They played it last night at The Greek in L.A. So awesome! Had never heard this beautiful song before last night. So glad I lucky enough to be there for it.
This song a gem in the Furthur repertoire. Wish we could hear it more
it was originally written by david crosby, later lyrics written by r. hunter were found that were for mountain song and they were added aswell as phils sons addition
David Maxey Phil's son wrote part of this song? Graham really kills lead guitar with Midnight North and TFB. didn't know he wrote songs too. JK is really nailing his parts on this! love his sound
Thought this was a jefferson airplane song?
Brian Lesh with Furthur wrote the additional lyrics not grahame. Brian is ten times the guitarist grahame is.
Perro sessions. crosby, young, dead, airplane. Mountain song was still just a jam without many lyrics
Bobby you shine in the most beautiful places ..
I miss this song

You too Absolutely love this song
And I thought I knew all the epic stuff from the 70s. Just found this song. What a gem! Need to buy a lot in the mountains now and build a cabin.
DAMN.....I miss the shows.

you gottta love the phil bass intro and the bomb singing!!!!!!!!! yeah phil!!!!!!! zoner fo life yo!
I love it! The chorus is like the Mountain Song on Paul Kantner/Grace Slick’s album.
Jeff and sunshine backing vocals are powerful, and a nice addition in the second part
this is a great tune...reminds me a tad of ekoostik Hookah & that is a good thing as these are the Champagnes of Music...to me & my family & my tribe...
Phil’s Mighty Striding Bass Line....
Masterful
Vrh vrhova nema vise
A time it was, a time it was.
I love you
This is a great song! Go Phil go!
this song is my new mantra
Beautiful song, miss this band.
The top of the peaks
Beautiful song- can't stop listening right now.
wow man just awesome never heard it now ill here it all the time !!
Don't forget John K's contribution. In the Phil zone.
How is it I've never heard this until today? Wow!
I really like the sound of Phil's voice.
Philip lesh, best electronic bassist in the history o the world, if ya don't thank so, I'll have ta kick yer ass.
It is either Phil or Jaco Pastorious i don't think there is any other serious contenders. certainly not Bootsy or Flea who are good but not on this level.
@@glyn420 @Nate Wagner lol I think Jaco has an edge on any of them, but you know, I take Pat Metheny's word for it and all. Seriously, they all do certain things well.

There are a lot of fantastic electric bass players and many have different styles, and that's a beautiful thing. It's not sports.
Pino Palladino comes to mind...good enough to play with what's left of The Who, and essential to John Mayer's best work.
No argument here. I tend to feel each member of the Deads lineup during the Brent years were the best at what they did.
Jack Casady and the late Chris Squire are up there too.
caught this at Allgood for the first time in 2010 I believe...... Quickly becomming one of my favorites.......
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
thier playing this perro song because jerry loved it you think they dont miss him like we do they miss their brother so thay play what they rember he like jerry wood love this band phil&boby we love ya you know its true look @ 7 15 2012 seen alot of love for futher that night

Welcome to the music!
One song I want to hear... 5 shows and still no mountain song! Maybe next show :D !
Always preferred the " Perro Sessions" version to the version PK did on the PERRO album ( not that it's a bad Album, it's very good), but this has a lot in common with those early jams, but Paul (RIP) with His stripped down JS a few years ago did a lot of tunes from PERRO and this was done well.

TIGHT!
This is really, really good btw.
yup!
LET PHIL SING JERRYS SMILEING DOWN ON FURTHUR NICE MT SONG BOYS I CAN DIG IT
gives me fucking chills
Phil Lesh, just who in the hell do you think you are sir?!?! Going out and playing Earth-shattering rock and roll night in and night out at nearly 72 years old. Didn't you hear your friend Grace Slick talking about how rock stars shouldn't be out there at 60years old?
Apparently Gracie needs to get out and see your act, and see what it is like for a 70 year old Rock God to demonstrate his Rock Godshead!! :)
And she should check out her old friend Jorma, like I will be doing tonight in SFO
johngalt23g for 80 years this March...
Still doing it--and doing it well--at 82.
Uh 84 this year
true that deadhead71. John's By far the best fit, playin and vocs are bomb.
It's funny to see a wedding ring on Bobby's fretboard hand...thought he was gonna go the long haul without taking the jump.
Sweet Little Bear solo at 1:29.
Is this the same song that jerry, crosby, slick, and katner did in 1971?
+SidVicious12897 yep, PERRO session stuff
I hope you were there Sunday night with me!
Don’t block the sidewalk. Especially when it’s raining. Bc it pours.
is this a Crosby Stills and Nash tune?
@Jason Dalton-Earls Paul Kanter and Grace Slick were Jefferson Airplane and then Jefferson Starship! They were one of the first bands on the scene in San Francisco back in the 60's!

Going to make the mountains be my home Graham Lesh
It was Brian Lesh and Phil and Furthur not Grahame
I've got to breathe.
Jk looks like a D&D enthusiast
chords anyone?
phil redid this song an tweaked it. its not word for word like the original perro.
Now just wondering...is this band named after a BUS?????? No i'm having a Tim Leary flashback AGAIN! lmao
russo wearing a brooklyn bowl t-shirt?
John is really a good fit. Sorry, Warren and Jimmy just did not appeal to me. And Phil....I used to hide when Phil took the vocals years ago. He is much, much better now on vocals.
Someone tell me how this is a new furthur song? I have never heard this song.
I wish this was Dead and Company
Dead and company could never be even half of what Furthur was. So glad Dead and Slow is no mo after this summer
ok...not great...but ok.
+lochteme douche
Love Phil but he should not sing. Lol!
Let Phil Sing!!!
