I'm putting together a collection of songs with religious themes (shouldn't be too big right?) Suggestions on songs or specific performances would be appreciated!

Heres what I have so far:

Voice From On High 5-15-70

Cold Jordan 5-15-70

Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet 12-26-69

Gomorrah 6-04-82 (Jerry)

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 12-08-91 (Jerry Grisman)

Turtle Dove song from the Jerry/Bob Christmas PBS special from the 80's

We Bid You Goodnight date suggestion?

Sampson and Delilah date suggestion?

Greatest Story Ever Told date suggestion?

I know theres alot more but thats what I have downloaded now and what I can think of off the top of my head.

How bout the entire 78' JGB tour in March!!!

ahhh....would love to see some of that recreated. some of the best Jerry Band stuff out there.

I remember listening to this show with you Bix on the way to the ledges a few years back when we loaded up the minivan, drove through the middle of the night, only to have it all rained on and soaking wet.

HA what a trip that was....

isn't any good Dead show a Religious experience in and of itself? I always thought so.

Amen

Hallelujah

Peace

Other songs that bear religious statements (sorry if already listed)

I'll Be With Thee

Greatest Story Ever Told

Gomorrah (I know this was said, but what a great tune)

brain farting here, but quite a lot of Dead/JGB tunes have religious/spiritual lyrics

...Palm Sunday- only played Mar 18-19 in 78

Wow ! That's a surprise to me. It's such a good song on the "Cats Under the Stars" album...played twice on the CD version I have....a CD that just keeps finding it's way into the car player.

The other day I was thinking how it would be cool if Terripin Nation would play the whole "Cats" album on Sunday morning at Grateful Fest.

religious songs from that JGB CD which has "bonus material"...

Palm Sonday

Rain ( maybe we can count this one)

Gomorrah

Magnificant Sanctuary Band

I'll Be With Thee

Mighty High

Down Home

and ending with an alternate take of Palm Sunday

Peace and Love

"When considering particular songs that use biblical imagery we find songs that have a theme running throughout all the verses, and songs that use only short references to biblical material. Estimated Prophet, Sampson and Delilah, My Brother Esau, The Greatest Story Ever Told, We Bid You Goodnight, Cold Jordan, and Blues for Allah exemplify songs of the first instance. One More Saturday Night, Eyes of the World, Playing in the Band, Throwing Stones, Deep Elem Blues, Knockin

Thanks for the response! I've enjoyed looking up all these songs and even hearing a handful I hadn't before! I'll post when I'm finished with it, maybe make it available somehow.
