  • @1Crisper

    I think it may have been even within a week of his death of the blue yodel recording...

  • man, what a weird old man

  • Jerry is my Dad.

  • @heinzt1986 I believe his last recording was with. David Grisman, John kahn blue yodle #9 july 16th 95, might wana check im just going on memory here:)

  • this was jerry's last recorded song before he died!

  • Every time I get asked what my favorite song is I say "Anything Jerry sang."

  • YISJTRIPPIN?

  • I started crying in the middle of this song. God do i miss him

  • 13 people need smoke in their eyes! "eyes of the word that is":)

  • One of my favourite songs... and Jerry playin' it.

    'Fare thee well

    We loved you more than words can tell'

  • i like this video . great quality

  • 12 people are lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Grateful Dead was pretty much before my time, but I'm watching Grateful Dead videos and I have to say....It's really sad he's gone, not too many like him come around.

  • He might have been tired but he had one hell of a ride...RIP Jerry XO

  • You will never find a bigger fan of Jerry than me, but he always just looks so tired and worn out in this video. I would rather listen than watch.

  • Great version, great movie, too!

  • DEAD 4EVER? Yes, yes he is.

  • I guess my love found Ellen

  • Who was cooler than Jerry - no one !

  • lol, why take down the negative comments? i bet Jer would smile at em' :)

  • "YeAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­"

  • saw jerry & greatful dead at the stadium in las vegas one of the last concert before he passed and iam thankful to have been there ....

  • saw jerry & greatful dead at the stadium in las vegas one of the last concert before he passed and iam thankful to have been there ....

  • thanks aton for this post dude

  • How can someone NOT dig this tune? Fuck you.

  • Great stuff!!

  • Was that Darlene Love at 1:30???

  • @grannygear The black woman with the blonde hair is Gloria Jones (I'm guessing the one you asked if it was Darlene Love) and the one with black hair is Jackie LaBranch

  • Jerry gets ALL the chicks!

  • @gtz1975 was thinking the same thing with that hottie next to him lol

  • Wow! Ashley Judd and Jerry Garcia hanging out!!

  • I miss Jerry. He was a great musician and human being. He did his very best. I am grateful for every time I heard him play!

  • IS that Ashley Judd @ :30 seconds?????

  • IS that Ashley Judd @ :30 secinds?????

  • Alguien me puede dar las coordenadas de la película Smoke. No la encuentro en BockBuster

  • @FIJON54 Hola amigo Veo en eBay ahora el DVD

  • @prairiedog166 Hola. Muchas gracias por la info. Saludos.

  • que bien suena! me gusta esta versión... más que la original

  • JERRYYYYY!

    There will never be another one like you

  • The last song you played...:^(

  • Wow! You people talk about Garcia doing drugs like he did something nobody else did. Look at The Stones, Neil Young--do I REALLY have to name 1,000 people? Bob Marley and his son,Ziggy, talks about ALL the drugs on the table all the time. " The cocaine was on this table and th smack was on this table and the weed was over here and everybody just took what they wanted." Snoop Dog smoke openly on stage--he never gets arrested. What? Do u think that's all he does. Get real, people.

  • classic Jerry, May god bless him and all who respect his music...

  • It was Jerry's b-day in 95 and the grateful dead newsletter announced that Jerry did a vid for this song and they had free copies for all who wanted. I immediately got up and put a request in the mail. One week later Jerry passed and I was dealing with never seeing him and a video tape arrived with this on it. My friends and I laughed and cried and generally felt a little bit better. Thanks Jerry for making me smile for 24 years now. :)

  • @callenvaughn

    Nice story

  • @younwhosarmy You smoking ??

  • @younwhosarmy hmm, have you seen them shooting up or are you just assuming things? Jerry snorted his drugs and other than a few misguided fans, just about everybody thought/thinks it sucked that he did those hard drugs.

  • Comment removed

  • @younwhosarmy Don't be a dumbass. I've been going to dead shows for years and I've yet to see someone shooting up.. Thats just dumb. Now maybe Acid and Mali and mushrooms and nitrous and DMT and numerous other things not to leave out cat tranquilizers but shooting up? thats just stupid

  • Comment removed

  • @younwhosarmy Hey there, You obviously missunderstand the whole scene. Most Deadheads DO NOT glorify Jerry's use of hard drugs like heroin & coke. They glorify all the incredible music he played & the beauty of his soul. We do acknowledge Jerry as a whole, faults and all, as did he himself. Learn more before casting judgements.

  • Love Jerry..........but this song version sucks balls

  • Best version of this song, I reckon.

  • what kinda guitar is that

    ?

  • Is that Ashley Judd ?

  • @davidsliltruck Wow your cool man giving your opinion on a song that you dont even have to listen to. The world is full of different people and the ones like you make this world suck. why dont you go drive your truck off a cliff. Jerry made a lot of people happy.... someone who actually tried making the world a better place

  • Love the 20's something blonde Ashley Judd!! Looking HOT!!

  • @ softlaws - the acoustic guitar is not part of the recording. This was a music video released in conjunction with the movie "Smoke".

  • Last song he ever did

  • Holy Crap!!!! I have never seen or heard this before??!!! Thank You for sharing this!!!

  • Oh jerry. lol love this one

  • jerry been gone 15 years seems only yesterday i was seeing him in jgb & the dead at thier shows.

  • Jerry was named after Jerome Kern, who wrote this song. It is the only Kern song Jerry ever played.

  • This is incredible! Fantastic footage!

    Love this song! Thank you!

  • I'm sure there is no pretense, but it's kind of funny with the electric guitar playing and the accoustic guitar that isn't part of the recording so it is merely an effectual prop. Hard to see Jerry reaching that point, but fun is fun, I suppose.

  • @softlaws ...not really... its a jazz song... and its a jazz box you see him playing...

  • Has a nice alternate beat to it. Jerry, a shadow of his former self, but still playing.

  • HIS TIES ARE FUCKIN AWSOME!

  • Jerry!

  • Great and Beautiful.

  • 133K views, lot's of them are mine. I can't get enough, so many different emotions.

  • Man do I miss Jerry!!! DEAD 4EVER!!

  • Same here......

  • @checotahkid

    meeee too!! 

  • Me too. One of them looks like Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son...

  • God I love the Doo-Wop girls...

  • Those would be Jacqueline LaBranch and Gloria Jones from the Jerry Garcia Band....

  • Best version I have heard, just my opinion I was so close to having this version as my wedding song!!

  • Video imagery from around the last days of Jerry. As usual hes' making everyone around him happy. A good man, from another lifetime.

  • so cool

  • RIP Jerry, miss you.

    BTW, is that Ashley Judd in the video?

  • Wow, yeah That is Ashley Judd.

    I've never heard this cover. F'n beautiful.

    Miss the days.

  • RIP HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRY

  • who's the drummer? that's not kemper

  • Donnie Baldwin, he is nothing like the old Kemp, who at least got to move on to tour with Bob Dylan for several years....

  • that a good one

  • SMOKE gets IN your EYES

  • Jerry what a cuddley dude,RIP JERRY!!!!

  • check out stone descendant if you like chill ass music like this shit. theyve got some rocking shit too. i saw them open for rusted root and they kick ass. seriously check them out before they get famous

  • Why would you want to check them out before they get famous? Why does that matter?

  • its just cool to know them before they get big and are corrupted by the industry

  • Hahahaha.

  • I agree bro, i know exactly what you mean. and btw i did check out stone descendant, they ARE sick. thanks man, im gonna be watching out for more of their new music! they rock!!

  • great song rip jerry man

  • ..........nice job I never could understand a dead concert

  • If you could have gone, you would!

  • I just wish I could show this to the 1966 Jerry Garcia. THAT would fix his clock.

  • wow jerry, why?

    this song is wak

  • what a terrible song. I like Garcia, but this song sucks.

  • your a real ass hole....u use the internet to really show people how stupid you really are'''get a life and education

  • why would you judge someone an a-hole for giving his opinion? I don't agree with him-but that doesn't make him an a hole. Do you know this guy?

  • I believe this video is from 1995, but I could be wrong.

  • I was right, this video is from 95 and the song was used in the movie "Smoke".

  • melvin looks hilarious in this vid. lol

  • Who?  In NYC. I have more mil than he could ever think. Good Trash.

  • who are the band members

    what is this?

    strange studio work? weird and it looks like 1990 by Jerrys face

  • yeah it looks like the standard JGB 1990 lineup.

  • couldn't wear that mask long

    smoke got in my eyes...

  • reminds me of Halloween 08...at the Ledges...

  • great oldie...:)I like this version...:)

  • OOhhh, I just love this one !!!!Merry Christmas to tall !!!

  • jerry garcia's in my head

  • This song reminds of the Dead's song Crazy Fingers. Same tone to it.

  • love this song. Man Ashley is smokin hot. Thats why there is smoke in Jerrys eyes

  • She is smoking hot! And can you imagine the privelege of being able to sit next to Jerry and Co as he plays live??

  • what kind of smoke is jerry talking about???

  • cool seein jerry lightin up a nice stoge

  • Two words: Ashley Juggs

  • I always thought jgb was better than the dead.

  • Thanks for putting this up. Melvin is a riot, lol. Please don't ever remove this. I'm no computer person, is there a way for me to save it forever? I have seen it now like 50 times.

  • search "youtube video ripper" on google. prolly illegal though but who cares

  • Ashley Judd is SUCH A BABE!!

  • @bchiu75 Jerry GArcia was such a babe :P

    but your right

  • jerry was perfect for this song. He does it so well and so beautiful. Thanks Jerry!

  • serge gainsbourg was a french monkey with ears that had their own area code. shit on u for talkin that way about jerry. given he was a heavy guy...given he dabbled in some bad drugs...GIVEN he was a musical GOD

  • wow..i dunno know about GOD. but i do know that you have a DISTURBED VIDEO in your channel section which makes it hard to take anything you have to say about music serious. sorry....

  • hey man sometimes really passive ppl need some agression enhancers some times...disturbed juss happen to do that 4 me. i happen to think music is a thing of eclectivity...a form of expression. an art. inner emulation of one's soul, so to speak. u cant go around dissin ppl's souls.

  • and by the way miapi88...after lookin at YOUR channel section...my credability is GOLDEN...lol...EVERY1....compa­re our channels...let this man know the truth...lol

  • BluezBro604 you listen to disturbed, nuff said. plus yer name is BluezBro604. sorry man i think that trumps me in the crap section.

  • see it's narrow minded fools like you that screw this world up. 1st off...the blues are perhaps one of the most infuential roots of all music...period...2nd...open ur eyes man.

  • i'm not gonna tell you wat you should be listening to or discredit you b/c you listen to some band. but the blues brothers was a comedy sketch, not an important figure in the blues genre. and really, disturbed is schwagg. check out pantera, zakk wylde's black label society, or some type of metal with grace and dynamics. trust me, i'm doin you the favor

  • i kno they weren't musical icons...i juss happen to like the alias of bluezbro?...so ha! and i def. get into pantera and disturbed aint schwagg.so there.

  • Does Gainsbourg cover this song?? He name checks it in Eva but that isn't the same thing. Isn't it a tad childish squabbling over two icons of the sixties? Two very different musical styles and both men died from their own demons. Gainsbourg became a travesty of himself, screaming he was going blind from pastis binges. Garcia trapped in a role he was never comfortable with. A lot stems from their childhoods. A little respect, both left a legacy that deserves exploring. What will you leave?

  • it's weird and satisfying at the same time to see jerry so scripted...all in all a very cool video....i miss you jerry....

  • he's having so much fun with this song,everybody else sings it like a dirge.

  • This is great, but I wish that somebody would "resurrect" the video of Jerry singing Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World.

  • I wonderwhere the smoke ij Garcia's eyes came from...

  • i love jerry and the dead...but he must of gotten some bad acid the day he recorded this...his guitar is the only thing that brings this song back to earth.

  • Jerry is like family, your favourite uncle who plays great and then tries to sing something at a party, a request even, like "Shennandoah", and it is not something he should ever, ever, sing, ( play - yes - but never sing ). Still, he's your favourite uncle, and you love him anyway, and singing it made him happy.

    There's a lot not to love in this video.

    But there's Jer, and there's Ashley Judd ~ the smoke in his eyes, and Jer is smiling, and he gets a kiss, and you gotta love that.

  • i absolutley hear u brother...in this case..."my favorite uncle" could flatulate into the microphone...and i would still hear the love emulataing through. lol.

  • The whole band quit that shit way back in the 70's. Jerry stuck with that black tar and ben and jerries, thats what hurt his health. The dead only ate the best acid around, OWSLEY ACID. Owsley stanley was very lucky to have started making acid in the 60's. Its like a gold mine.

  • Yea, I had the pleasure of having Orange sunshine Owsly acid... AMAZING!

  • I was the electrician on this shoot. Jerry was so cool and we actually had a few great coversations, I am a super head and didn't want to seem over the top. Ae ehe end of the shoot he asked if I ever saw them ib concert when I gave my answer along with the # he laughed for about a minuet straight, He was so cool

  • Lucky you-

    Smoke It is also one of the greatest Us mowies ever done

  • Great Singing Jerry, sounds like my dog. But hey I love my dog.

  • thats y they call him J dog

  • webstercat: somewhere a boy-band is missing an idiot fan...better move along to another video.

  • I'm too old to know anything about boy bands. I did move on months ago.

  • Are you slow or somthing webstercat?

  • JERRY thank you fer postin i listen to this eva am to uhm start the day right LOL ~PEACE LOVE LIGHT ~~~~Da KID

  • id give anthing to have jerry back .

  • ODD. interesting...a bit cheesy in my opinion. Thelonious Monk did a version of it on the album 'Monk' from 1953 that is prob'ly my fave version of the tune i've heard...

  • ONE OF THE BEST LITTLE VIDEOs EVER, AND REMAINS UNKNOWN TO 99% OF POP MUSIC FAN.
