Great song!!! Enough time has passed to see that the Dead's later albums when Brent was alive, recaptured the spark of the early Dead. Jerry was on fire playing his guitar in the video.
@@joueurunoThe dead had 4 hits 1. Truckin (1971) 2. Touch of Grey (1987) 3. He’ll in a Bucket (1987) and 4 Picasso Moon (1989). And maybe “Shakedown Street”(1979) and “Don’t Ease Me In” (1980) were minor hits?? 🧐
This song always gives me the chills. Brent died 9 months after Built to Last came out. The lyrics are so very haunting as they, effectively, read like a suicide note. For what it's worth, I LOVE this song. Brent's finest IMO and one of my all-time Dead tunes ... and, trust me, I don't say that lightly. RIP Brent ... you will never be forgotten by us Dead Heads!
Jerry Garcia (53) would soon follow 5 years later from heart failure. Brent Mydland (37) died July 26, 1990 from a drug overdose. He was the 3rd keyboardist to die before Jerry Ronald McKernan (27) AKA PigPen 1973 liver disease Kieth Godchaux (32) 1980 car crash but after quitting the band
What a joy to discover this today... " Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight To give me just a little sweetness... Just a little sweetness... Just a little sweetness... Just a little light. "
@@mitchblack4241 it's a shame you missed out on 11 years of the goodness Brent brought to the band. They came together into one of the greatest incarnations of the band in '89-'90.
Agreed. The music the band played for the five years they were together after Brent died lack energy and focus. That said I am glad that the band were stubborn enough to try to continue....
I am forever grateful for the years I got to see jerry smiling at brent. My humble request to D&C, please let some of these songs live again, blow us away... please guys, whatever the reason y'all shy away from Brent's songs.... put it aside
@@chriscastellon6970 no disrespect taken. Keep in mind we're a fanbase that used to chant "let phil sing".... our love for the songs outweighs any singers shortcomings.
I never knew there was a vid for this! There is still a huge hole in my heart from Brent. There's a tingling recognition Like the sound of distant thunder And I begin to wonder If the love I've driven under Won't ignite.
I am just now discovering this vid myself wow how odd. I love Brents voice he was missed by myself and others in the 90's just like Jer is still missed but at least I was there.....
Love ya Brent,miss you every day and the times we had.you left us too early my friend. Your voice lives on,as do you,with all of us.I will see you again one day.Thank you for your presence.
Nice Video, never knew it existed, they all look and sound good, esp Jerry, that said BTL got a bad rap, but I like it and Brent did a great job. His songs soared on it and it's a shame it was shunned so badly. I like it through and through

I’d say Brent’s tunes were definitely the most accessible for the “MTV Kids” who showed up around Touch Of Grey. Like if you think about Grateful Dead songs with a “commercial” or “marketable” sound. Chances are you’re gonna say something like this or Far From Me. Both great songs, just a new flavor of Dead. I never have had a problem with so called “Disco Dead” I think you just have to enjoy a little bit of it all.
He gave a little more than a little light. Like staring at the sun for a few seconds, the Light remains longer when you watch it fade away, and it doesn't. The Vaults & Bear & all of em' made sure of that. Dick's Picks rules!
Mark OBLAZNEY Dave Picks have been great as well. Just when ya think there can't be anything else in the Vault, Think again!!! We're fans of the Greatest band ever on so many different levels. Dave Picks 26...
Anybody see the merry pranksters for two hours and then the grateful dead for three hours with Jerry’s Garcia playing pedal steel guitar for the pranksters who is in Madison Square Garden right before they went to Europe in the felt form of 4000 seat theater and yeah last song was Casey Jones
The lyrics are great. I get lost in the words and cannot help but wonder where the genius comes from. It is inspired. I never saw Brent live (went to two shows in the 90's) but from what I could gather he added a dimension that could not be replaced. It is like attitude chewing bubble gum.
Happy Independence Day🎉 liberty and justice for all. We choose to fight for the light exposing the darkness of children of Satan. Forgive me/give me just a little light👍🏼💖🙏🏽🎉🎉I will fight to magnify the light.
This song is fucking amazing, had to tell u definitely second place on the Built to Last album!! At this time was my first shows, and i had cd before going to show- i was very into it Jeff man, how u do that-god excellent! :-)
Oh the broad is in shipping and she thought she was gonna get to sell some of those days, that totally belong to someone else and she doesn't even know them? Nor was she hired by anyone, but she just starts showin up, doesn't know anything about us, our backgrounds, what we do, what we want to do or who our friends are, but she thinks she's automatically hired, cuz of pod gr or she is one also!Never says hi, just stands there like an auto robot ready to move. I know she's editing the Thames album and I hate her for that automatically. And, for not being so thrilled about Jerry, lots of things! Why does she think she's Lynryd Sknyrd's manager, is she that dumb, does she not know what is happening? I've seen dumber? : ( Nooo, don't tell me she's one of the trolls that comes out to thar? Neil, what the fuk did u do?? Nuh, she's trying to just receive the clipboard for Pete, and that happened so long ago. I duno, is she Jannis enterprizes, Paul Mccartney and Laughlin, I just don't know. Oh she wants to be George Martin or anyone she can? She is obviously someone that Phil hired, because this is a scam. She could be Keith's new best friend though and that would be a plus, at late, yeah, she owes me rent, alot of it, delays, fees, purchases, n mmmm, even u guys wouldn't be goin' it's a good market? some one is happy as ever freakin out that they can lame yes get food stamps from the telephone for Paul education points or taxes alleviated or something, but that 'they would have taken from the rolling stones, Ritchie, ' or oh shit. That must have been some good tabs, boy they sure are dumb, no wonder John did not want a lawyer! I guess Co.
I love Brent era Dead
I love watching Brent during the live recordings when he completely coked out of his mind😂
Great song!!! Enough time has passed to see that the Dead's later albums when Brent was alive, recaptured the spark of the early Dead. Jerry was on fire playing his guitar in the video.
I love it

@@guysalzmann9302 Keith and Donna gave them a second life ✌🏼 Brent, a third ✌🏼
@@pak7417 You’re right. Filled the gap after Pig Pen. Stand corrected. Brent still my fav
So many forget that the Dead was so much more than hits from the 60s and 70s
They had hits???
89' and 90' was some of the best live music ever played. RIP Brent.
@@paulleavell4317 well there was this one song...

Sad ending to a man who brought the light apoun our cosmic family
Gosh the dozin at the knick is my favorite live version but even the studio is killer. RIP Brent.
What an Awesome song, This Band , in the late 80's... Heaven opened and swallowed me whole. I will never forget you Brent, thank you Grateful Dead
I love Brent I miss Brent He was my favorite.....his organ would multiply my reality still does when churping
The BEST!

30 years! Man where did the time go?
Jerrys guitar playing on this song is beautiful
Jerry’s guitar is beautiful in every song
I like his style wearing the leather jacket. Jerry always jammed out to Brent's tunes.
@@mojorayjones they both used same drug-o'-choice
When we lost Brent , it was the end of the band as I had known it.
He could bring it !

Brent was a blessing in the sadly all too short time in this existence
Live In Peace In Eternity Brent...
I get the chills every time I hear this song or watch the video, Jerry’s guitar licks are unbelievable n Brent’s vocals are out this world,
Copps Coliseum, Hamilton Ontario, the venue was connected to the hotel....we were going up to our rooms, and Brent walked out of the Elevator...
These lyrics are heavy ... beautiful song
I am forever grateful for the years I got to see jerry smiling at brent. My humble request to D&C, please let some of these songs live again, blow us away... please guys, whatever the reason y'all shy away from Brent's songs.... put it aside
Yesss seriously !!!!!! Picasso moon just a little light built to last somethingggg !
With all due respect to D&C I don't know who in their line up could cover this. JM would be my last choice, perhaps Oteil though.

Picasso Moon is much better than given credit.
I never saw this, like a dream.
the grateful dead was my first ever concert I went to. they were with Bob Dylan at jfk stadium in Philly. wow, what a time!!!
well it wasn't my first dead show but I saw Dylan and the dead at the Oakland coliseum
Man, Brent why did you have to leave us so early. No one has been able to replace you, no one.
MIssing this guy on what would have been his 68th BD....he brought just a little light. indeed....
I never knew there was a vid for this! There is still a huge hole in my heart from Brent.
There's a tingling recognition
Like the sound of distant thunder
And I begin to wonder
If the love I've driven under
Won't ignite.
I am just now discovering this vid myself wow how odd. I love Brents voice he was missed by myself and others in the 90's just like Jer is still missed but at least I was there.....
I hope that you have watched "SO FAR" by now. ( Its awesome)👍👍
That line give me chills every time i hear it
Rest in Power Brent!
Brent always nailed it.
We miss you young Brent, I miss dancing to this song! Much love brother.
By weird coincidence,This vid was released to the public by Garcia on July 26th 1990...RIP Brent :(
Love ya Brent,miss you every day and the times we had.you left us too early my friend. Your voice lives on,as do you,with all of us.I will see you again one day.Thank you for your presence.
My favorite Brent tune. I feel upbeat when I listen....
I saw Pigpen, Keith, and Brent. Then my family raising started and I was off the bus. Luckily, my son saw 4 of the Fare Thee Well shows with me
Always enjoyed Brent's contributions to The Grateful Dead...RIP Brother...
Jer and Bob look like a couple kids really happy to be in a music video that the straight world might see.
Nice Video, never knew it existed, they all look and sound good, esp Jerry, that said BTL got a bad rap, but I like it and Brent did a great job. His songs soared on it and it's a shame it was shunned so badly. I like it through and through
there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care.
And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there.
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true...
The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you.
So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night.
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise all right.
But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might
To give you just a little sweetness...
Just a little light.
I have always heard that virtue ought be its own reward,
But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword.
It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way.
You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away.
Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright,
Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness...
Just a little light.
This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night.
You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights,
There's a tingling recognition
Like the sound of distant thunder
And I begin to wonder
If the love I've driven under
Won't ignite.
So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night.
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise all right.
Something shines around you that seems, to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness...
Just a little light
To give me
To give me Just a little sweetness
Just a little light
To give me Just a little sweetness
Just a little light.
Brilliant lyrics by JPB. How could the Dead not be a juggernaut with three lyricists of the caliber of Hunter, Barlow, and Petersen?

Loved this song .
The best of four videos produced that year in my humble oppinion.
really outstanding Brent Mydland song here kids....
A much better song than I'll take you home
Disagree. Both great !
