"Box of Rain" is a song by the Grateful Dead, from their 1970 album ''American Beauty''. The song was composed by bassist Phil Lesh and lyricist Robert Hunter, and sung by Lesh. In later years, the song was a favorite and the crowd would shout "Let Phil sing!" to hear the song.〔Kindersley, Dorling et al. ''Grateful Dead, the Illustrated Trip'' page 124, (2003) ISBN 0-7894-9963-0〕 ==The song== * Key: G * Time signature: 4/4 (with an occasional 2/4 measure) * Chords used: A, Bm7/A, A4, D, Am, Em, C, G, Bm "Box of Rain" is a song that is drawn from American folk and country musical roots. This is true of many Grateful Dead tunes, and most of the songs on ''American Beauty'' and their other 1970 release ''Workingman's Dead''. As the first song on ''American Beauty'', it was also the first Grateful Dead song released on record to feature Phil Lesh as the lead vocalist.〔Jackson, Blair Garcia: An American Life pg. 197(1999) ISBN 0-14-029199-7〕〔Kindersley, Dorling et al. ''Grateful Dead, the Illustrated Trip'' page 121 (2003) ISBN 0-7894-9963-0〕 The song also featured two musicians who are not in the band. Dave Torbert played bass, while Lesh played acoustic guitar. David Nelson (of New Riders of the Purple Sage) plays the lead guitar with a Fender Telecaster, while Jerry Garcia plays the piano. While many describe Dave Nelson's Telecaster solo as being performed on a b-bender equipped guitar, the solo was recorded before he owned one, and was performed using traditional bending technique. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Box of Rain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
