I have researched Glory Road – not found in the Grateful Dead archives song list. It is a Government Mule song that was, of course, sung by Warren.(Anyone who doesn’t know – he plays guitar for the Allman Brothers along with Derek Trucks as well as his band, Gov’t Mule, and has done a lot of Phil and Friends tours)



The Beatles song is Tomorrow Never Knows, as follows:



Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning



It was on Revolver, I think, if not it was Rubber Soul. Anyway, the lyrics are especially interesting when you consider them from a Dead perspective
