Grateful Dead - Whiskey In The Jar

[kylebossify]

Nice Metallica cover!

.

Relax I'm kidding.

[uuunice1]

Thin Lizzy version is my best  :)

[DrAugustusValdes]

Grateful Dead... Grisman... JGB... etc... maybe the most understated and unrealized musical entities to manifest in the 20th Century (outside the the world of their fans).

Those first few pictures of the Grateful Dead in the field with pistols... they were true Psychedelic Cowboys.

[psychodelightful]

@DrAugustusValdes thanks for the moment of reminiscence i once played pretend to this with some random faces pew pew pew pew i dont even know who they were but i miss em sorry to babble buddy do watchawompachootue

[poleske]

definitive proof that there is a god

[aceshighsays]

Whenever I'm in a bad mood... I just turn on the Dead and all the sudden all my fears fly away

[jsmcguireIII]

I miss Jerry!!!!

[stuco]

This is not the dead, please don't misrepresent your videos.

[lethiac]

This is one of the first grateful undead songs I have listened to, but I am confident that their message is of love. I feel many of the comments are an insult to the general feeling of the music, especially for being from likely fans. Love and peace, don't be hatin

[wtbSID]

@lethiac lol.  Grateful undead?

[blasketboy]

Awww For FUCK SAKE, if you yanks are going to take the piss outa Irish Art do it with tom cruise or julia roberts! THIN LIZZY.. WHISKEY IN THE JAR!

[2hamboigahs]

This is Garcia/Grisman not the Dead-great tune thanks!

[DobermansRock]

This was really good. The Dead and Metallica both put their own touch to this song.

[DsTfYnEsTpLaYa]

metallica's version was awesome stop hating bitches

[BLVCKBACON]

Yes, that is Snape from Harry Potter on the right in case anyone was wondering.

[EnergyDog23]

@BLVCKBACON Holy shit i was thinking exactly the same.. =D

[bigbear4228]

I guess I am to young to appreciate this music, I don't think it's all that great. 

[traebarlow]

BTW. The Merriam-Webster dictionary is and was designed for retards and school children.

Any self respecting student of language and symbols (Etymology) knows that language and symbols are not static but always changing. Any said student also knows that the University of Oxford pretty much defines any formal or scholastic meaning of words in the the English and American languages. Merriam-Webster's 'Definitions' are for the mentally challenged.

Now you know.

Please don't fail any harder.

[combsy13]

Contemporary music shall come and go, but bands like The Dead will live forever. It's a bittersweet feeling to know, that we no longer have Garcia with us today. Yet his influence will forever impact the world, as long as there are Deadheads out there. RIP Jerry.

[redpigskinz]

LOL @ the 17 dislikes! Hilarious!! RIP J.

[crepesaten]

THin lizzy The best version

[bluemoonfairie26]

@crepesaten too true...!

[TheMagnumpete]

[banjotuna]

[edge102102]

@3hihihihi Amen

[Sora657]

they did the bleh version I like the kork and carrie mountains spailin version :3

[mauro9601]

bella questa canzone,chi sa dirmi su quale album dei Grateful Dead si trova?

[Iridium237]

This is Jerry Garcia and David Grisman, not the Grateful Dead.

[thatguru877]

@Iridium237 Several other members of the dead too.

[elias8040]

the metallica version is fantastic and playable at volume level 11 early & often, but it's nonexistent in the dimensions Jerry & David explored with this version. for this >500 show semi-Irish deadhead, the rendition here and the shady grove set makes me miss Jerry as much as any other.

[patrickspoint]

This, in my humble opinion, is pure crap. Listen to "The Dubliners" version.

[eddiewarlord]

fuck of adverts

[shognation]

Hey Brian,... Peace.

[Fishsticks187]

Grateful Dead Version>Dubliners Version>Thin Lizzy Version>Metallica Version

[TheClassicMusicMan]

So much hating going on about this song! damn leave Garcia alone, you don't like it then GTFO!

[tommyonepercenter]

well im kinda OLD and i do remember when this first came out , i was young and had just been given my first saber for my birthday . i think i was 12 at the time . i also remember years later when the irish company came over to help fight in the war , they introduced it to this country . that was around1862 or 1863 . so i guess its about 250-300 years now ! i had a different name back then !

[SanFranciscoDayDream]

I wish you could fine good quality now a days in music as The Dead. <3

</3

[philipwilliamson]

@SanFranciscoDayDream - I feel the same way about Joe Strummer. You might like Gillian Welch, M. Ward, Sean Hayes, or The Devil Makes Three. Black 47 maybe? Maybe not...

[sosamarshall]

@SanFranciscoDayDream railroad earth buddy

[bojanks15]

@SanFranciscoDayDream youve probably heard them but try Moe and Umphreys Mcgee

[darrell888888]

shut up fags and listen... You're gonna need each other

[sledzeppelin]

Sorry to state the obvious, but this is not The Grateful Dead.

[motleycruefan21]

@sledzeppelin Sorry to state the obvious, but this IS the grateful dead.

[sledzeppelin]

@motleycruefan21 This is Jerry Garcia and David Grisman, from the early 90s. It is not The Grateful Dead. It's from the album Shady Grove. Look it up.

[motleycruefan21]

@sledzeppelin You are right man. I looked it up lol

[davej247365]

love it i was born  in 1970 so i really rember listenin to all the deads music is very loved

[murderfantasies]

Musha rin um du rum da

[CRACKBABY4BIGDONKEYS]

[themercyfulfate1]

@CRACKBABY4BIGDONKEYS ok man im with you ill help you but how you wanna fuck them? after the concert? i dont mind we should dress pretty and seduce them after some drinks i take lars and james you can have kirk and rob if you want but we can talk before we decide it ok??? fine, see you at their next tour ;)

[RhinoAts51]

@CRACKBABY4BIGDONKEYS Im not disagreeing or trying to start an argument, but let me point out I would've never made my way here had it not been for Metallica. Is it my fault I was not alive during this albums release, or that I had not been motivated otherwise to check out Grateful Dead other then Metallica's cover of this song? Perhaps you'd rather I not be here and you can have this to yourself? IMO thank Metallica for doing a worthy cover promoting this band and song.

[banjotuna]

@RhinoAts51 Metallica did a worthy cover.....pft lol. yeah shure pal.

[edge102102]

@RhinoAts51 I think Metallica did a great job of this song. Why is that guy mad at you because you weren't alive 400 years ago? lol

[Sleyt707]

@CRACKBABY4BIGDONKEYS your an asshole

[musicain5]

@CRACKBABY4BIGDONKEYS FUCK YOU!!!!

[JackLisin]

Just a great song, Greatful Dead, Thin Lizzy and Metallica all did it justice

[thatguru877]

Mmm such a shame they never played this live was this from the pizza tapes originally? That cant be right but I cant remember for the life of me.

[helperman58]

wollt ihr das lied totquatschen?Es ist schöne musik und ende.

[gtz1975]

I guess 14 people are not really that much of a wiskey drinker...

[Gwid01]

@gtz1975 LOL

[BleuWaterStones]

where is my moonshine?

[radioshrink]

@BleuWaterStones poitin

[BladeRunner26364]

Very cool..

[honeybadger81]

This is a traditional Irish song, which means it's probably been sung in the U.S. atleast as old as the American Civil War, when a lot of songs (particularly of this type, involving fighting, drinking, crime, and loss) were created, or popularized among the soldiers, many of whom had a strong Irish heritage.

It definitely has an "Appalachian" ring to it, North or South, but it could have been sung in Ireland for centuries.

[honeybadger81]

@honeybadger81 : I did a tiny bit more research, and one thought among historians is that the song is based on the ballad of Patrick Fleming, an Irish highway bandit who was killed for his crimes in 1650. It was also a popular song in America, as early as the Colonial days, so forget about the Civil War...

This song apparently has a really deep, deep history to it, and might possibly be one of the very oldest songs we still have knowledge of.

[MrCrumbsinthebutter]

@honeybadger81 you are right this is a very old song. if there is many versions of a song it usually means it was passed down from generation to generation with out lyrics been written down. today's version would be very different from original.

[Sorthious]

@honeybadger81 You need to do a LOT more research in light of this comment you've made...

"...might possibly be one of the very oldest songs we still have knowledge of. "

What about the Rennaisance movement in music, circa 14th-16th centuries, Ancient Greek music, etc.? The oldest "Complete" musical composition with musical notation is the "Seikilos epitaph." dating from between 200BCE to 100BCE. Oldest song from around 1400BCE. Egyptians as far back as 3500BCE.

[Sorthious]

@honeybadger81 musical instruments are shown to have existed as early as 37,000 years ago, and suspected instrument examples exist as far back as 60,000 years ago. It's really annoying when people try to spread unfounded knowledge to people. All that does is spread ones ignorance to the masses and causes the actual facts to get lost in the process.

[poonis12]

The origins of the song are not clear so basically everybody covered this song.

[zatoichiyojimbo24]

Nice Thin Lizzy cover

[hebert777]

@zatoichiyojimbo24 Thin Lizzy version is a cover too

[dmichaelbraley]

Ok this song is Garcia/Grisman not The Grateful Dead, there is a difference.

[joeycummings2]

that was delightful!

[sirronald69]

[killiansheehan]

Cool Version

[mountainhigh88]

!2/27/11 -- North Korea - k j ill can kiss ass!

f'n w'us all these years -- what an epitaph? messed-up -

damn anomolee!

past

Dead Rockin' in a Jar!

[mountainhigh88]

Well Then...

[jazzmans]

Garcia and Grisman, not the dead.

but it's an absolutely amazing version.

jaz

[Sorthious]

@jazzmans Yeah this version is from Shady Grove, but, according to Wikipedia, "So Many Roads" includes a version that is credited as " 'Whiskey In The Jar' (Traditional, arranged by Grateful Dead) - 5:18 " The version from Shady Grove shows a track time of 4:19.

[tsm767]

I'm crying.

[mscrunchy68]

Didn't know this was an old song - glad to have learned something tonight.

[uradragon]

Damn that sounds fine

(never knew Metallica did stuff like this, must have been on the B side)

thanks for the post.

now where is that jar.

[RockNfuckinRoller97]

@uradragon they do a cover of the thin lizzy version

[Claptonblues55]

@uradragon Metallica won a Grammy for this song. Where have you been? But Thin Lizzy, I feel, did the best arrangement for this song.

[VIDARMATHISEN]

@Claptonblues55 - if you had said metallica did the it best i would exploded he he he phil lynott rules!

[jacobthelioneater]

@Claptonblues55 Agree

[badeendvogeltje]

@Claptonblues55 meh... dubliners did a pretty good job too:P i guess all versions of this song are awesome:P

[Claptonblues55]

@badeendvogeltje I've heard a couple different arrangements by the Dubliners which I enjoy and they probably do it the closest to the way it was written in the 17th Century, but I prefer Thin lizzy's arrangement.

[thesmogmankills]

@Claptonblues55 TL was great BUT to me The Pogues version is the best followed by The Dubliners 

[Claptonblues55]

@thesmogmankills Can't commit, never heard The Pogues version. But all versions that I have heard, Thin Lizzy was my favorite. Just saying........................­...

[RaVaGeFALLOUT]

@Claptonblues55 Thin lizzy's is a cover too >.> its a Scottish folk song

[Claptonblues55]

@RaVaGeFALLOUT No it is an Irish Folk lore. Google it!!!! and it is from the 17th century. Do your research!!!!

[MastodonRockss]

@Claptonblues55

Yeah, before anyone starts arguing who did this song originally: it was originally a folk song from ireland, meaning no one we know of is responsible for it's greatness. There are thousands of other covers, both recorded and unrecorded, done by blue-grass bands and back porch musicians. Also, just putting it out there: the music video that metallica did for this song is pretty awesome lol.

[NaturalBornKillahs]

@Claptonblues55 da original iz good 2

[Pismenost]

@Claptonblues55 Fuck Metallica.

[Claptonblues55]

@Pismenost I agree, don't like Metallica, never did. I think you need to read the postings correctly before you lash out!!!!

[Valdrag]

@Claptonblues55 No the classic way is the best. The Dubliners take that cake

[ADAMCHANCELLORGUITAR]

@Claptonblues55 They won a grammy for their version!? That version is fucking shite!!!

[Claptonblues55]

@ADAMCHANCELLORGUITAR Well I don't like Metallica and I don't like their version of it either. So whats the problem? Can you not read the postings properly?

[ADAMCHANCELLORGUITAR]

@Claptonblues55 There is no problem sir. As you could tell (by reading my post properly) that I was shocked to hear such poignant news. Chill Nigga

[Claptonblues55]

@ADAMCHANCELLORGUITAR Well I'm a women and I am reporting this post. There is no reason to be slandering people.

[ADAMCHANCELLORGUITAR]

@Claptonblues55 And who got slandered?

[Claptonblues55]

@ADAMCHANCELLORGUITAR I don't appreciate being called a nigga, that is slander and offensive.I am a hard working tax paying single Mom. I don't know about the UK in here in America a nigga is a non working slumming thief. I lived in the UK for 9 years in the 80's and never heard anyone talk like that. So whos the nigga????

[Gwid01]

@Claptonblues55 Someone said that to my old lady, too. She was sorta very confused. lol But like Patti Smith said "I'm a rock n roll nigga". lol Check out the song so you don't mis-interpret my comment. Have a good one...

[Claptonblues55]

@Gwid01 Well, I know the song........that doesnt make it any less offensive. Here in America you get fined and/or arrested for calling someone that name. And I'm not on youtube to be abused by the likes of you or anyone else. Now I have to block you again. Don't email or contact me again!!!!!!!

[thatguru877]

@Claptonblues55 Ummm no you dont. Freedom of speech will always be one of our rights even if the goverment doesnt agree. And in the dictionary modern nigger/negro definition is an ignorant person. For example Bill O'reily is one pesky nigger. Completely correct and lawful. Your refering to hateful verbal battery i.e. Bill O'reily is a pesky nigger because hes black/white. Oh yeah BTW dont feed the trolls dont you know how the internet works. Folley mischief and fallacie make up 95% of it.

[Claptonblues55]

@thatguru877 Well if you live in America, then you know freedom of speech is a thing of the past. Our Government has succeeded in taking that away as well. Look what they are doing to the occupiers and the American people just sit by and let the Government do what they want. Congress needs to go!!! And the fact is I know 2, not1, but 2 people that paid fines for using that word,and do you notice how you tube blocks out the word. Mmmmmm so are you a troll??

[thatguru877]

@Claptonblues55 I do live in america but I can say what I want when I want and no agency can control that. If something like that happened you would be reading about a shootout in a small colorado town in the news. No im not a troll haha. N I G G Er oh yeah blocked.... Black people sensitive enough to be offended by a word that has no real association with them are fucking stupid.

[arethemad]

@thatguru877 No real association to them? You're the fucking stupid one. You're one of those morons that doesn't even know what they themselves mean and just talks to hear their voice. Enjoy perpetual stupidity.

[thatguru877]

@arethemad That word was never designated to describe blacks but people use it that way, its just like saying cool or awesome. Neither of those are being used by the correct definition depending on the context. Your the perpetually stupid one because your the first to get frustrated enough to lash out at me. Atleast I'm smart enough to be composed and explain myself, "fucking stupid one".

[traebarlow]

@thatguru877

You're an idiot dood. Why don't you walk into a Jewish Senagog with a Schwastica on your shirt and try explaning the same bullshit to them.

If you knew anything about etymology you'd know the basic principle of languages changing and evolving over time.

Nigger does not mean the same thing it meant 400 years ago. Don't think so? Walk into a gay bar in the cold of winter and start asking if any one has seen any fags that could keep you warm though the cold winter night, ya cunt.

[traebarlow]

@thatguru877

BTW. Also under the Oxford Dictionary (which there is no 'Definition')

'The word nigger was used as an adjective denoting a black person as early as the 17th century and has long had strong offensive connotations. Today it remains one of the most racially offensive words in the language.'

And since when do words have 'definitions'. That type of attitude belongs to grammar students. So yes, Id say that you are rather stupid assuming your age compared to a grammar school boy's.

[traebarlow]

@thatguru877

Oh. And under the Webster Dictionary (which does have 'Definitions', just for you school boys) the first two definitions for 'Nigger' are as follows.

nig·ger noun \ˈni-gər\

1

usually offensive; see usage paragraph below : a black person

2

usually offensive; see usage paragraph below : a member of any dark-skinned race

[thatguru877]

@traebarlow Your effort to disprove an illogical fallacie amuses me. Which if you knew anything about Etymology you would know that im using correlative and illogical fallace to piss you off. In return I've gotten nothing but distraught, angry, and emotional long winded responses from you. In lamens terms Succesful troll is sucessful.

[jonnybabes1]

@thatguru877 You spelled "laymen's" wrong. Just saying.

[thatguru877]

@jonnybabes1 Succesful troll is succesful yet, whats up whore?

[arethemad]

@thatguru877 The new age idiot that knows he was proven wrong: I was jus trollin brah omg lol i got you soo hard brah

[thatguru877]

@arethemad No you werent, I got several emotional responses from you for my amusment, I am the troll. Nice 1 up attempt though. And no im not wron in a Logical fallacie based argument I could argue for the democratitic republic of the unicorns and be correct.

[charfman84]

wtf are you two arguing about?

[jacobthelioneater]

@Claptonblues55 Metallica's version was piss. 

[Claptonblues55]

@jacobthelioneater I agree!!!

[MikSane]

@jacobthelioneater thats like, your opinion man

[poleske]

@jacobthelioneater Yes it truly was. I greatly enjoy Metalica but they did certainly not do proper tribute to this song. This version is by far more "metal" if by metal one means anti-establishment and exceptionally awesome... some form of musical ecstasy indescribable through language and only described via the word "metal" screamed emphatically.

[bakerisballin]

It's an old Irish drinking song...but the first recorded version I can find is the Dubliners.

[Sorthious]

@bakerisballin Yeah, The Dubliners did not write the song. Based on the content of the song, it is thought to have originated in the 17th century. The earliest recording I've seen is Seamus Ennis(1951) Other recordings include : Burl Ives(1958), The Brothers Four(1962), The Highwaymen(1962), The Limeliters, (all titled "Kigary Mountains")and by 'Peter, Paul and Mary' as "Gilgarra Mountain." This is just a partial list. Anyway, nice to see a song remain relevent so long. (^8

[jackinthegreen23]

@Sorthious ...ooo how could you not mention thin lizzy's cover! by far the best imo...followed by the deads'...

[Sorthious]

@jackinthegreen23 Haha...Thin Lizzy had been mentioned in several posts prior...didn't see the need to reiterate and as I mentioned, it wasn't a complete list. Plus, if you type in the title...Thin Lizzy/Metallica are among the 1st versions to pop up.

[jackinthegreen23]

@Sorthious ...true they been mentioned n i know it was not a complete list,just imo no list should not include thin lizzy's version...my personal opinion lol...not downin' your comment,infact i didnt know metallica covered it till the other day,must check it out,tho i not their greatest fan...what is your personal fav.version?oh and is really cool to see a song 'remain relevant for so long'and be done in so many styles...happy trails...

[Sorthious]

@jackinthegreen23 Yeah...I'm not much on Metallica anymore...Really hard to pick a favorite...I like each version for diff reasons. The Dubliners(for its authentic Irish sound) and it reminds me of singers from Newfoundland where I'm from), The Grateful Dead(cause its mellow), and Thin Lizzy(cause its the 1st version I had ever heard)

[jackinthegreen23]

@Sorthious hey...pretty cool...yeah i liked it...it rocks! (;

[Claptonblues55]

@Sorthious Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about!!!

[Claptonblues55]

@bakerisballin no its a 17th Century Irish Folklore tune.

[parisphantom]

the video is great but the ad before it sucks big dogs ! whats happening to youtube ??

[KaptainKwasnik]

God when you type Whiskey In the Jar to the search bar only Metalica and Thin Lizzy come up! What happened to and original is always worth more than a copy!?!?!?!?

[MrTheBojangles]

@KaptainKwasnik I think this song goes back pretty far... The grateful dead copied it too didn't they?

[KaptainKwasnik]

@MrTheBojangles God i gotta watch what I say, last night I was listening to Ain't it Fun by GN'R and somebody said the Dead Boys version. I made the mistake of none to kindly telling him that the Dead Boy's was not a version but the original. Turns out that song was written and covered twice before Th Dead Boys covered it!

[bartyfarslar]

@MrTheBojangles its an old, old Irish song. The Dubliners first made it popular in the midsixties and Thin Lizzie did a rock version soon after. That is the version covered by Metalica.

[jbsbmt1]

phenominal jerry vocal

[TheCozybear65]

How time goes

[skip326]

Love the sound!!!!!

[DROPBEATSNOTBOMBS09]

[mateinegriu]

@biologyfuckyeah good one! Maybe the funniest comment I've come across yet on Youtube.

[BlackOrchidist]

@biologyfuckyeah It's a cover from The Dubliners, original song !

[zombie433]

@biologyfuckyeah It is not an Metallica Original....

The Original is from the the 17th century,

Metallica himself covered his song from Thin Lizzy!

[UncleSlam81]

@zombie433 Haha Metallica is four guys, not one.

[FailDoctor]

@UncleSlam81 Unless he meant Hammetallica...

[Claptonblues55]

@zombie433 yes a 17TH CENTURY IRISH FOLKLORE

[mattjohnkearney]

@biologyfuckyeah thank god!

[NaturalBornKillahs]

@biologyfuckyeah i wus bout 2 fuckin say

[NotoTruth]

this might be the best version of this song...Jerry Garcia,Luke Kelly,and Ronnie Drew...as long as they are remembered,they will never be dead.

[OriginalSyko]

Close your eyes tight and you can still smell the campfire.....missin Jerry and the carefree times

[HiggDogg420]

Is this Jerry on lead vocals?

[gtz1975]

@HiggDogg420 no that's actually his identical-half-twin-cousin Charlie from the projects who is filling in for Jerry here!

[TheCozybear65]

@HiggDogg420 yes.

[mike426440]
