Devo - Morning Dew

[Jlipnicki]

the boy done well. I once walked out in the morning dew after a long night into a water meadow ...

[ejvideos07]

When I first heard this song I thought "if DEVO released this as a single it would easily make a top 40 hit". Yet they didn't, becasue DEVO being DEVO, didn't need to.

[pneumatictrousers]

Devo picks the best songs to cover and always brings a fresh fun sense to them

[magnern]

Definitely the best version of "morning dew" in my opinion!

[neotericvidz]

31st of February with Allman brothers nailed THE perfect version of this fantastic tune. Neither Devo's, nor Dead's nor Nazareth's versions come close, but all still are good by any standards.

[bcdigiart141]

i didnt know that DEVO... did a version of this TUNE.... wow... PRETTY wild.... I am big appreciator of DEVO... and big appreciator of the GRATEFUL DEAD.... I saw Morning Dew performed by the Grateful Dead a number of times.... when is DEVO playing again? NICE VERSION

[girlinblack71]

This is quite an ok version of this song actually!But the absolute best one is with Einstuerzende Neubauten,which can´t be found here in you tube.. =(

[KingOfUm]

Ugh, this to me sounds like it belongs on an epic scene in some 80's film where the hero is getting into his car and is about to save his girl or somebody else equally important. I can see why this album doesn't get many good comments from fans.

[lukemanify]

This is different but Naz just can't be defeated. as if there's a competition. The song stands on its own'.

[darkoducko]

Today Youtube taught me something, actually two things: Devo covered Morning Dew and it was awesome.

[Weedthrasher]

We must repeat.

[balalaikaonws]

Originalmente do Nazareth essa musica! ;)

[QMPhilosophe]

Awesome video. Love Devo... Love the song. Of course the Dead does the classic version, but also check out the Martin/Vonne Electric Bands version. It is the best version I have heard.

[kdpflush]

@QMPhilosophe check out Nazareth, they have 2 versions here, both excellent

[fuckamericanidiot]

why did devo have to get back together in 1988? such a shame

[mtldemon6]

why did your dad have to not pull out? such a shame

[fuckamericanidiot]

@mtldemon6 i deserved that.

[Ashloomis]

Who`s better, Public Image Limited, or DevoÉ

[donnyv78]

Bad version of a great song. The Dead does a good version, but Lulu's version is the greatest.

[TheHughLundy]

@donnyv78 Look I 'm not picking an arguement with you or saying your wrong but I'm honestly mystified by your comments. How could Lulu's version of anything be better than anything(the woman is one of the worst white soul singers ever). As for the dead well their name sums it up. Devo are closer to the original in many ways just a view. I'm interested in your original comment.

[donnyv78]

@TheHughLundy Give Lulu's version a listen...it's very intense. True, the Devo version is the only version I've heard that stays truest to Bonnie Dobson's lyrics, but the Devo version just sounds emotionless.

[TheHughLundy]

@donnyv78 Thanks I've just given Lulu's version a listen. Sorry to say I find the same problem on this as with all her other songs she's trying to hard to sound black. She just doesn't have that edge I hear in Marianne Faithful or Nico's voice. It may be just me but I get more of a chill listening to Devo than Lulu -sorry we can't all think the same or like the same things.

[urckrecords]

listening to Devo at maximum rock and roll volume whilst the missiles are incoming would not be a bad thing!

[eatatmargos]

This song should have DONE much better than it did but then, DEVO is TOO GOOD for singles.

[PrettyPaul]

I have heard this song ONCE...back in 1993!!! I can't find it ANYWHERE...does anyone know where i can get it?!?

PM me PLEEEEZZZEEE!!!!

[eatatmargos]

@PrettyPaul I have the CD, it is out of print.

[ultracrunchy]

like if clan of xymox it would have that dark goth feel to it.. if nazareth do it it's metal ..if devo do it..it's... pop pop's sake..

[Stu4uInCinci]

Excellent Spud! Where did you get all the stock footage?

[MrOctagon20]

good version,nazareth one for me.

[sattek5]

cold war deelish

[libay8D]

it's not bad, but i prefer Nazareth!

[tmanxxxx]

happy dew year!

[K1w1scot]

If you want to see another song that shares very poigniant sentiments, check out "Atomic Moog 2000" by Cold Cut

[GTCreem]

I read this as "Devo - Mountain Dew"...lol

[buttership]

Great version by a great band of the original Tim Rose (lulu cover)classic.

[TheRattking]

It is not by Tim Rose, it is by Bonnie Dobson.

[K1w1scot]

Apparently not so. Going by Wiki...the original version was written by Bonnie Dobson. It would seem Tim Rose nicked credit for it in dubious circumstances.

Still...a bloody good version by Devo, none the less...and in keeping with its origins from the book "On The Beach" as well!

[ahorwood]

Kind of weird version. Rather happy, bouncy, chirpy, deathy, doomy.

I like it though. Prefer Nazareth, but it's all good.

[poet59]

I spoke too fast. After looking it up I found out that it was written by Bonnie Dobson in 1962. Like a lot of other people,I remember the Lulu version. Fred Neil covered it. He is remembered for "Everybody's Talking".

[CaseyBob417]

Never heard it. I'll have to listen to it sometime.

[CaseyBob417]

It was written by Bonnie Dobson in 1962. Many people have recorded it. It is a Grateful Dead standard. Lulu did it in 1968.

[setnaffa]

May God forgive us! We need to stop Nuclear Proliferation and eliminate those weapons held by the countries already in "the club"...

[ilovefeelincheap]

Beautiful song! Reminds me of life's new beginnings.

[poet59]

Does anyone remember the original by Lulu?

[ronniemegens]

Sorry it is original by The wiskers

[CaseyBob417]

Wasn't Lulu.

[glenm99]

Love the Bach fills.

[rmaxinmass]

oh yeah, I hear it.

[deathlikesilence710]

wow i am suprised. this is good doesnt even come close to the deads version though

[ezpcbmc]

very nice devolution is very real

[1devo6587]

wow! your music viedo for this is awsome! it fits this song alot!

[xxWhiteBrickWallxx]

5* Great vid - Great song

[The61769]

hey mrs.spud..great job!

[WoodRatGirl]

Fantastic song and nice fan made video :)

[blastfurnacepgh]

great job! love the video and love the song!

[ejvideos07]

Sean, this is a masterpiece in true DEVO style - I get it, and I'm sure Gerry would love it if he saw it.

5 stars from me buddy,.

[panther105]

I disagree. This seriously kicks ass!! Just ran through most of the other versions I could find on youtube and all of them bite except maybe Tim Rose. But knowing he and Fred Neil kind of stole the song from Bonnie Dobson lessens my enjoyment of Rose's contribution....ya!

[panther105]

I don't know why this keeps happening but my comment is nowhere near the comment I was disagreeing with. Nobody take offense who is just above or below this - This comment is in completely the wrong location.....

[shug119]

Try Nazareth, different but better

[Bimmyjond]

This is awesome. I hadn't heard this song before, good find.

Well done video, too!

[rastafarley]

the 1st time i heard this song was by einsturzende neubauten, this ones ok, the dead is ok,even plant is ok, but omyGAWD! you have to hear NEUBAUTEN!

[Bimmyjond]

No way! They did this too? I'm going to have to find that.

[Victheremin]

The usual absolutely seminal DEVO deconstruction of a song. Excellent.

What album is this from?

[eatatmargos]

@Victheremin It is from Smooth Noodle Maps... I was GLAD to get a copy on vinyl. The CRITICS HATED it & it soon DISAPPEARED unfortunately!

[Frankenfukstein]

@Victheremin

smooth noodle maps

[bustacapinlutha]

@Victheremin It's from Smooth Noodle Map.

[SackoFries]

500000000000000000000000000000­000000% better than the over-rated Grateful-dirtball cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[hendrixonlsd]

Disgrace.. i like devo.. but this does no justice to Tim Rose.

[KingSolomonsMarbles]

tim rose didnt write this song

[54spiritedwill54]

cool video...

[truecancer]

Great job!

[TenneyMead]

This is pretty good but the Dead own this song in the artistic sense of the word "own".

[HeartAttackMac]

Is that the same own as in me owning your arse?Or is it your "autistic" view and/or dimwitted analysis?

[stoker20]

ROTFL

[JoshZoso]

You should hear the Nazareth Version. Its amazing.

[ZenDogRadio]

Actually, Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart own it "artistically "...

Damn Deadheads....

[randyatlantis]

I vote for the Tim Rose version

[Scroobily]

Groovy.

[Skladany123]

No Doubt Damnation of Adam Blessing's version is by far the best rendition of this classic song.

[neildonoghue]

i like the shout album have not heard smooth noodle maps..i looooove the first 5 especially duty now for the future :)))

[viper877]

wow... had always wanted to do this with the Dead version... still pretty good.

[scissorsman311]

Hey JackG2, where did you find this song. It's not on any of the Devo albums.

[gadgetman2000]

Smooth Noodle Maps, released 1990

[JackG2]

Spot on...

[woowoah]

Good job!! I still think Damnation of Adam Blessing SINGS it the best, but this would be my second favorite version, because of the great images which portray the devastation of nuclear war.

[forwardinertia]

Excellent Video. Thanks for "Gettin It".

The last video I watched made from DEVO Music were just random scenes with no meaning or theme. Whoever made it didn't "Get It".  Cheetah from the beginning of DEVOLUTION

[JackG2]

You sure you're not talking about my Peekaboo video? Because that was as random as it gets.

[EclecticMuzikMan]

Well done video. Good editing and source material keeps the "Beautiful World" vibe going strong.

[woowoah]

Check out the BEST version of this song by a group called "The Damnation of Adam Blessing" on their CD-"Damnation of Adam Blessing". They recorded from 1968-1972 and then disbanded-a Cleveland, Ohio band. You will never hear more powerful vocals.

[mslaerik]

greatful dead does the best version of this :)

BTW long time Devo fan

[SpudBoySatanis]

Good Job Spud

[DEVOSpudess101]

I love that song.

[rmarcus51]

The original was done by Bonnie Dobson, but the best version and most known version is prob. by the Grateful Dead. Jerry could rip this song live, and it was one of their best jams.

[atonbeton]

who did this song originally? i only know this and the einstürzende neubauten version...

[davenik999]

Nice work! Good use of the Prelinger Archives...

[fuckamericanidiot]

i love early devo, and that song is sooooooooooo mediocre, which is possibly worse than outright bad

[steadfastcoward]

But you have learned from the pictures that those secretarial demiframed glasses the kids think are cool do not work without a plaid skirt...they are devolved to a dangerous level! They think TV is politics.

[PLUGS33]

Did you do the beautiful world video posted a few weeks ago?

[JackG2]

No... I am currently doing a "big mess" and "speed Racer" video..

[PLUGS33]

Thanks for the cool video...Haven't listened to this song in years.

[JackG2]

I love devo...

[PLUGS33]

me too...I check for new devo videos added everyday...
