Can't we all just appreciate all types of music. If you hear rap and stuff and get pissed, just think of it as: That's the way they express themselves, so do we, we all just do it in different ways.
@Shane Yes 7 years ago I was 15 years old... I don't remember typing this comment but I understand. Funny you commented on this. Jerry/Jimi Hendrix is who got me good at guitar. I've been playing for 8 years now. ruclips.net/video/vLOHjWRHZlc/видео.html
@Shane thats a load of bullshit. My favorite band is grateful dead, favorite hiphop groups are wu tang and boot camp clik. I love rock, metal , hip hop, r&b, country, punk , and many in between.And goodhip hop contains alot of deep, profound, meangful poetry
I love my Irish music, but I took time to listen to this version, and I must say, it is quite fun and enjoyable. Music is about personal expression and an Irish song done by the Grateful Dead done well is unexpected and pleasurable.
Actually I love the Grateful Dead’s version and I am grew up with the Dead. I must say the only other cover for this song that ties the Dead, is the Celtic Thunder I fell in the love the their version about 15 years ago 💚
cheers to you all, Jerry cares i think because his wish was probably to make people have a good time listening to his music, bottoms up for Jerry, peace love and the grateful dead
I read an interview with Hunter that said all Jerry really wanted to do was make timeless music that would last thru generations. They certainly accomplished that aye?
David "Dawg" Grissman and Robert Hunter are amazing singer/song writers that many have not even heard of or even know of. They were instrumental in Grateful Dead songs and played with Garcia and others for years. These are incredible musicians and song writers. They deserve to be recognized for their contributions to the Dead and their Solo works. Thanks guys.........also praise needs to go to the late John Kahn (baddest, guitarist, and an amazing musician, he left this world far too early. Peace, W
Why I love Jerry Sure, any band can take you to a place, with lyrics or music that transcends time. Again, every band can do this. What Jerry could do was take you past that transcendent point. When you thought you couldn’t get any higher, any happier, any more “enlightened,” yes you could. You could soar past that limit, hold this little piece of heaven in your mind, and just let go, even if just for a moment. That’s why I love Jerry Garica.
I love Jerry, because he always feels so close and somewhat intimate, like he is always was your old friend and now he just telling you another story. No matter what shit happens in my life, when I listen to him I always calm down. Rest in peace, Jerry, you always be with us, and we always will miss and remember you. If there is afterlife, I am sure you are in wonderful place there.
Shows how great a folkie Jerry was. As an old "Deadhead" living overseas, this music reminds of one thing - America. And her best qualities. Makes me homesick.
This is my favorite song of all time and i have heard dozens of versions, almost all of which are worthy. This rates pretty damn close to the top of the list though
A very Happy 74th birthday Robert Hall Weir October 16, 1947, San Fran born. And a living legend. The Dead will live forever in our memories.. Thanks Bob..
Okay, so I just listened to the Metallica version. It was surprisingly very good! I liked it a lot! But! I definitely prefer this one a hundred times more. This is is just so beautiful, and like someone else said, Jerry sounds so vulnerable!:)
Grisman has been playing this song his whole life, and Jerry started playing around with this during the Folk days. This is just the first time he put it on a record. My mom was a taper back in the day, and I know I heard a couple shows from the 1970s where one or two members of the Dead or their crew would play this during short smoke breaks for the rest of the band. They would play all kinds of awesome classic standards and is part of the shear joy it was to be part of that entire musical scene. Never again will we have what they did, we can touch it briefly here and there, it echoes in what Willie and Mellencamp do, and festivals pop up that are great for a few years until it turns into a gathering of teenagers doing way too many drugs and not listening to much of the music.
Flag Man glad you mentioned the other versions. Metallica actually considers thier version a thin lizzy cover, I think. but they are all great versions, of a great Irish folk song, like this version is. jerry had a perfect voice for these types of songs, another reason he and hunter did so well together.
This song means so much to so many through many many years. . I'm GRATEFUL to hear this version. I met Jerry once. Very kind to a boy on the street. Bless THE BAND.

There's a wine bar in Donegal where i go occasionally, and i walked in one night, the owner is the image of Peter O'Toole, anyway, we're there chatting away all night by the fire and just when we're leaving i notice a picture to the top left of the fire and i couldn't believe my eyes...It was the owner of the wine bar with his brother and Jerry Garcia in the middle; it was during his two week Irish visit in 1993 when he traveled from Dublin up the west coast to Donegal. So i ask the owner of the bar about it and he said that was in another bar up the street called the Bridge Bar, very small place, where, that night one of Jerrys favorite groups were playing, they were called the McPeake Family, a traditional group, the owner told me that he asked him to ask them could he get up and play with them...and he did, and they said no...because they didn't know who he was!, hahaha, awh, you couldn't make it up.

Good version by a great band. I was into punk mostly in my younger years but during my hitching days I had the fortune of being introduced to the Dead/Garcia Band experience. I went to 3 Garcia Band shows FIRST and then 3 Dead shows after. Was 94 or 95? Sting was the opener. Vegas, Calexpo, and Shoreline, the latter two in California. Great experience, never forget. Although only got into the Vegas show for second set!
Holy crap!! Was arriving home from my own gig tonight on Cape Cod when I posted that comment, not knowing just had to scroll down to " Club Front " and there she was !!! Pure Joy.............
I never met you personally, Jerry. But i miss you, it's like a whole epoch ended when you've gone...

If you like this song have a listen to a song called follow me up to Carlow by a group called Planxty singer in one Christy Moore. You'll really like it
@@r.kratermoon1050 I never said TL did it first. I dont care who sang it FIRST. But I do know bc of the history of the song that GD didnt do it first either. Its a very old traditional irish song. I just happen to like it a helluva lot more by TL than the Dead. LOL ahhahaha
Actually what makes this version unique is the talking guitar:-) The solo is so good I can hear it spelling the words to come. BTW: the lyrics here are the ThinLizzy/Metalica cover. The Dubliners have a bit different lyrics.
When he says "whack for my daddyo" he's taking a drink of whisky and of course it's not good to drink alone, so I do my best to keep him company. Selfless lovely man that I am.
It’s “Whack! Fall the Daddy-O”...as in “Take a whack or a pull on that whiskey jar & you fall down” - the “Daddy-O” is very likely self-referential to the character that Jerry is singing about. It’s a drinking jig from Celtic days...carried over from Great Britain & sung a thousand ways with some small variance. There IS a Grateful Dead cover, Phil asks on the track about the words...Jerry says he likes the line “For I am a bold Deceiver”.. it’s out there. Jerry brought the tune to the band AFTER he laid down the track here with David Grisman. The photos of the Grateful Dead are nice but misleading, really. Re-post with images of the real performers. David Grisman is arguably the greatest, most innovative & influential mandolin player of our time.
@@albertmiller3082 its whack FOR my daddyo... it means drinking is no good alone, so they're offering a whack (drink) to their da... This according to the Dubliners..
My interpretation is "Whack Fall The Daddy O" He Robs Colnel Pepper by hitting him on the head- I got a bit o the emerald Isle in me family. But one could just Google it. Lol 1 Love
An original Irish folk song hundreds of years old. Love most of your comments on here folks. This is a fantastic version of this old song, but you all must check out the dubliners version of this. Oh I love metallica's version too, and thin lizzy's
and a whole lot of bluegrass bands , folk singers and Irish singers........great song , ain't nobody wrong that puts their twist on it . So far I like them all , Grisman is really an accomplished mandolin player . Dead were actually a great cover band , sometimes they even remembered the words . Didn't they do Haggard's " Mama Tried " at Woodstock ?
I've heard the dead do mama tried many times and I've heard some of their Woodstock stuff. Not sure if "mama tried" featured. Cheers for replying. Peace.

Hi Grant - All these versions do my head in when the extended family gathers for a sing song. Depending on their age they all sing a different version with different lyrics. Confusing but rather wonderful Greg
POPULAR music has gone to crap WITHOUT QUESTION. If you look to your local music scene I can almost guarentee* you will find the generation of brilliant musicians POP CULTURE would lead you to believe DON'T EXIST. * I suppose some regions are devoid of it theoretically but my local.scene is literally BURSTING with talent and it is RHODE ISLAND... the smallest state in the Union and one that only exists because the people who ran Massachusetts were such Puritanical Doushbags.

Who the **** would dislike this video?? These 211 people are seriously disturbed, and some kind of mental health outreach should look them up and hunt them down IMHO.
Deadheads only have ears for the Dead's version of any song. Their world is skewed by focusing only on the Dead's style of music and can't understand why someone doesn't 'get it'.
Only an ole mark ass scallywag would critize. I don't care what they listen to or what hipster "picture it paints", so long as they recognize they are skeezed out trick scallywags. The few people I've had to rip to little pieces over a difference in "opinion" in music made the mistake of criticizing Jerry in my presence.
My boys. Bless them. A soul all their own that can't be touched but by love. A twist to song that can't be interpreted by anyone else. Miss you guys....
This can not be true while yes guns were invented over a thousand years ago the pistol was not invented until the 1700s and therefor the song could not be 700 years old. The tune could be but not the actual lyrics

Makes me feel really good knowing that the Dead played all those great tunes not for fame, money, or status, but for us. What a wonderful gift.
Amen
Yes sir
No band plays for us. It's all about the money.
Same goes for legendary Doc Watson....
& heroine
I've never heard the Grateful Dead do this tune before.. excellent Irish tune and well performed
This is one of my favorite themes since Metallica put it on the Billboard, and never knew GD had played it...
They never did. . .This is Jerry with Dave Grisman, from the album "Shady Grove".
Can't we all just appreciate all types of music. If you hear rap and stuff and get pissed, just think of it as: That's the way they express themselves, so do we, we all just do it in different ways.

@Shane you cant blame a whole genre because of 2 o 3 songs you didn't like, dont be an idiot, please
@Shane If that's what you think hip-hop is about, you're ignorant.
The last time I heard this, my hair wasn't even gray! Thanks for the blast from the past.

its not the grateful dead, this is Garcia and Grisman
I’m sure jerry can dig it.
Best song ever. I have a cd in my car with at least 20 versions of this song. I never get sick of it.
Actually I love the Grateful Dead’s version and I am grew up with the Dead. I must say the only other cover for this song that ties the Dead, is the Celtic Thunder I fell in the love the their version about 15 years ago 💚
The cleanest version ever !!!!!
I like this version. Never stop fighting no matter how little you have to fight with.
I Love every version of this song. PRAISE BE TO MUSIC AND WHISKEY!!
A loving Dead head shared this. I know Jerry doesn't care as long as you listen.
I bet he does care as long as we listen :)
& he will be here as long as we hear him.
Still! So! Missing...
Jerry and the band always said "the notes are ours when they're through with them" thus tapers! Woo-hoo for the tapers!!!!!!
jerry does care GDF

The Thin Lizzy version is awesome too. Phil really put his heart &soul &pride into being Irish
Didn't know they had a version on this classic. I've always heard Thin Lizzy's, Metallica's, and The Dubliner's.
This tune is probably 100 years old.

Whiskey in the Jar (Rehearsal 2-16-93)
Grateful Dead
As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra mountains
I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly
I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly
She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
But the devil's in the women for they never can be easy
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
When I awoke between the hours of six and seven
Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even
I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken
I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
They put me in jail without a judge or jury
For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early
They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry
And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Some take delight in fishing and bowling
Others take delight in carriage a-rollin'
I take delight in the juice of the barley
Courting pretty women in the morning so early
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
there is a GD rehearsal performance of this recorded but this is Garcia grisman
As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry Mountains
I saw Captain Farrell
And his money, he was countin'
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya"
I took all of his money
And it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money,
Yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me,
No, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman,
Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There's whiskey in the jar, oh
Being drunk and weary
I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' Molly with me
But I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven,
Yeah, in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols
And I shot him with both…
Theres something very cool about those lyrics
this is so good, makes my day
Lovely mellow tune. You did it grateful dead!(: love y'all!
Love this, God bless the GD! ❤
There's a wine bar in Donegal where i go occasionally, and i walked in one night, the owner is the image of Peter O'Toole, anyway, we're there chatting away all night by the fire and just when we're leaving i notice a picture to the top left of the fire and i couldn't believe my eyes...It was the owner of the wine bar with his brother and Jerry Garcia in the middle; it was during his two week Irish visit in 1993 when he traveled from Dublin up the west coast to Donegal.

I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly
I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly
She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
But the devil's in the women for they never can be easy
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
When I awoke between the hours of six and seven
Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even
I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken
I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
They put me in jail without a judge or jury
For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early
They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry
And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I think I'll find my brother, he's the one that's in the army
I don't know where he's stationed be in Cork or in Killarney
Together we'll go roving thru the Moutains of Kilkenny
I dare he'll treat me fairer than my darling sporting Molly
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Some take delight in fishing and bowling
Others take delight in carriage a-rollin'
I take delight in the juice of the barley
Courting pretty women in the morning so early
Musha ringum duram da
Whack-fall the daddy-o
Whack-fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Probably the most beautiful version of this song I've heard other than hearing a couple of Irish guys playing it at a bar in Chicago many moons ago.
If you like this song have a listen to a song called follow me up to Carlow by a group called Planxty singer in one Christy Moore. You'll really like it
Good song. A traditional folk song done by hippies. Long live the 60's.
this is the best thing ever i fucking love his voice here. and dawg is smooth as ever
Sorry dude this is not in the same class as Thin Lizzy's version but I respect your opinion just don't agree with it.All the best to you.
love the frailty in Jerry's voice, sadly
I've never heard any singer who can emote like Garcia.
agreed, apart from bob, maybe :-)
@@unacat09 jeff mangum
I agree...it's part of what makes him so lovable
Totally know what you mean 🌹
Really nice to have in the collection, thank you for this one . Jerry & David were one of a kind band!
AHHH there is whiskey in the jar. So many roads he did take and sang to us about them. thanks to all.

Phil didnt write this...its such an old irish song nobody can trace back how old it is
Who said anything about Phil writing it? Robert Hunter wrote 90% of the Dead's songs anyways.
I honestly listened to this so much as a kid but for me it was the Metallica version. Then I learned how old it really was
@@hannahpoland4267 Thin Lizzy
@@lastnamefirst4035 Thin Lizzy didn't do it first lol.
@@r.kratermoon1050 I never said TL did it first. I dont care who sang it FIRST. But I do know bc of the history of the song that GD didnt do it first either. Its a very old traditional irish song. I just happen to like it a helluva lot more by TL than the Dead. LOL ahhahaha
Actually what makes this version unique is the talking guitar:-)
The solo is so good I can hear it spelling the words to come.
BTW: the lyrics here are the ThinLizzy/Metalica cover. The Dubliners have a bit different lyrics.
thank people like you, this guy s name can be found everywhere, good job kind sir
Listening to The Boys Soothes my Soul!
Thank You Gentlemen!

Cool :)
It is what it it is.
When he says "whack for my daddyo" he's taking a drink of whisky and of course it's not good to drink alone, so I do my best to keep him company. Selfless lovely man that I am.
Drop a dose of Lucy and you get way closer ☮️
It’s “Whack! Fall the Daddy-O”...as in “Take a whack or a pull on that whiskey jar & you fall down” - the “Daddy-O” is very likely self-referential to the character that Jerry is singing about. It’s a drinking jig from Celtic days...carried over from Great Britain & sung a thousand ways with some small variance.
There IS a Grateful Dead cover, Phil asks on the track about the words...Jerry says he likes the line “For I am a bold Deceiver”.. it’s out there. Jerry brought the tune to the band AFTER he laid down the track here with David Grisman.
The photos of the Grateful Dead are nice but misleading, really. Re-post with images of the real performers. David Grisman is arguably the greatest, most innovative & influential mandolin player of our time.
@@albertmiller3082 its whack FOR my daddyo... it means drinking is no good alone, so they're offering a whack (drink) to their da...
This according to the Dubliners..
the whiskey has run dry here, so I'm drinkin beer
but I like beer too so it's not too bad
My interpretation is
"Whack Fall The Daddy O"
He Robs Colnel Pepper by hitting him on the head- I got a bit o the emerald Isle in me family.
But one could just Google it.
Lol

wow i really love that first picture, what an amazing band
Love the sound!!!!!
Great version with spanish, and acoustic guitars!!
That's Irish bud 😂
An original Irish folk song hundreds of years old. Love most of your comments on here folks. This is a fantastic version of this old song, but you all must check out the dubliners version of this. Oh I love metallica's version too, and thin lizzy's
and a whole lot of bluegrass bands , folk singers and Irish singers........great song , ain't nobody wrong that puts their twist on it . So far I like them all , Grisman is really an accomplished mandolin player . Dead were actually a great cover band , sometimes they even remembered the words . Didn't they do Haggard's " Mama Tried " at Woodstock ?
I've heard the dead do mama tried many times and I've heard some of their Woodstock stuff. Not sure if "mama tried" featured. Cheers for replying. Peace.

Hi Grant - All these versions do my head in when the extended family gathers for a sing song. Depending on their age they all sing a different version with different lyrics. Confusing but rather wonderful Greg

We miss you, Jerry. Music sure has gone to crap. RIP.
Hi, not all music check out AJ Lee singing the Dead’s Ripple, think she was just 15/16 , has written some very good songs,
POPULAR music has gone to crap WITHOUT QUESTION. If you look to your local music scene I can almost guarentee* you will find the generation of brilliant musicians POP CULTURE would lead you to believe DON'T EXIST.
* I suppose some regions are devoid of it theoretically but my local.scene is literally BURSTING with talent and it is RHODE ISLAND... the smallest state in the Union and one that only exists because the people who ran Massachusetts were such Puritanical Doushbags.
@@shannonburns1856 That is the biggest load of poorly written poorly researched BULLSHIT I have heard EVER besides things that Donald Trump says everyday.
I would tell you to research the man's life instead of just pretending you can judge someone based on a stereotype of him in his darkest hours BUT...
Someone who would write something THIS IGNORANT AND FALSE is clearly BEYOND HELPFUL ADVICE. You should be a music critic or a Politician or something like that it would suit you.
Billy strings is all we got left my friend..
Shannon Burns go back to school & learn english. Then you can think about criticizing anyone you massive douchebag.

Who the **** would dislike this video?? These 211 people are seriously disturbed, and some kind of mental health outreach should look them up and hunt them down IMHO.
Bodhi Marshall Probably because there are better versions out there.
Deadheads only have ears for the Dead's version of any song. Their world is skewed by focusing only on the Dead's style of music and can't understand why someone doesn't 'get it'.
Because Jerry fucked up the lyrics off the bat. He made up his own mountains. I love the Dead but they butchered this one
By posting this, you inspired many others to hit that dislike button. Please don't do it again.
Only an ole mark ass scallywag would critize. I don't care what they listen to or what hipster "picture it paints", so long as they recognize they are skeezed out trick scallywags.
The few people I've had to rip to little pieces over a difference in "opinion" in music made the mistake of criticizing Jerry in my presence.
Real men drink Whiskey.....
Dead men drink everything
...and real women.
so who did this first?
Fuck off, rum.
Bundy Rum.
Unless you're underage, then you must drink Dr. Pepper
My boys. Bless them. A soul all their own that can't be touched but by love. A twist to song that can't be interpreted by anyone else. Miss you guys....
That’s so great!
This is actually a traditional irish song, It 's a cover
btw the song is over 700 years old no one really knows who wrote it. We all know women were just as deceptive though 700 years ago......
neither whiskey nor pistols were present in ireland 700 years ago.
More likely about 400 years old.
not true buddy, whiskey was invented in B.C. times and that's well over 700 years old lol
This can not be true while yes guns were invented over a thousand years ago the pistol was not invented until the 1700s and therefor the song could not be 700 years old. The tune could be but not the actual lyrics
In the book The Folk Songs of North America, folk music historian Alan Lomax suggests that the song originated in the 17th century, and (based on plot similarities) that John Gay's 1728 The Beggar's Opera was inspired by Gay hearing an Irish ballad-monger singing "Whiskey in the Jar". In regard to the history of the song, Lomax states, "The folk of seventeenth century Britain liked and admired their local highwaymen; and in Ireland (or Scotland) where the gentlemen of the roads robbed English landlords, they were regarded as national patriots. Such feelings inspired this rollicking ballad."
aamazing my favorite song ever I've heard Dubliners this Lizzy etc the song is 1780s bout Irish Catholic rebel meets a English redcoat captain on cork mountain Rd and Rob's him and his lover betrays him 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Great song, great pictures.........Thank You.
You could feel the Love at the festivals, it was wonderful 💞💮🌬💨
Knew it wasn't Metallica
it's not Grateful Dead either, it's a very very old song that's been passed down through generations, I don't think the writer is known
It's an old Irish pub song, from a long time ago, older than my great great grandparents
it's an old song about badass irish bandits
Your Sharp.
Metallica & Thin Lizzy
ho lets listen to Metallica Thin lizzy have been such a version..thank you
great song ! thanks for posting this ! happy birthday jerome !
What a great sound! Superb upload!
Thin Lizzy version is the best next Metallica the way Grateful Dead sings it just don'i sound like them thats what I think
+Mouko#1 The Real One Dubliners..... enough said
best version is by the Dubliners.
+Mouko#1 The Real One All metallica did was make a more heavy version of the thin lizzy version.
Only the original and lizzy`s version are the best
To each his own-But I still prefer the Metallica version...
Well I prefer the Thin Lizzy version. So there. lol.
Like I said-To Each His Own.
Peace.
Well i prefer the dubliners :p
Thin Lizzy version...........
My own version when i am drunk beats all thanks
Grisman is so grate!
