Ah, yes. I like this song, all the while not believing the underpinning ontological premises. I don't believe in the phenomenal reality of Hell as described or entertained in the Judeo-christian ontology. However, if I was to go there I'd like at least to "enjoy the ride."
I am 61 years old, been a fan since the early 80's and this is the first time I've seen this video. It's so 80's and yet so Dead.... BE GRATEFUL FOR THE DEAD!
When I was a kid, my dad would buy me any album I wanted as long as I would listen to one he got for himself and then he would listen to mine with me. I loved the dead, him not so much but did not insult my taste. I went to their concerts with friends and loved the laid back scene. Years later as my dad is elderly and not as well, I moved him in my home and we would listen to music or have a video of a concert. I did not get out the dead concert films until one day, not thinking, I put one in and my dad was just loving it. Hell in a Bucket was his fave tune. Listening today I felt like he was here with me. Been a fan since their first album came out in 1967 and yes that makes me 65 lol
I love how it starts with the coolest looking Jerry Garcia ever and then the camera is like nope, were following the dork in the purple blazer next to him
I just read Bill's book and he said when they were driving in the Cadillac the duck was really drinking the champagne and it got drunk. Then they had to deal with a drunk duck. I like the Dead, but I'm not a Deadhead and I've been to a few shows in the late 80's and I don't know why Weir's song's don't get the respect that some of the others do. I've always really liked Bobby and think he sings good. I've always loved Sugar Magnolia.
The song that got me into the Dead was "Weather Report Suite," which is one of the least Dead-ly of their many tracks. Bobby & Eric Andersen gave us that one w/lyrics by John Perry Barlow.
@subg8858 being a deadhead is something different. For me, I could take them or leave them, with the dead. I recognize their talent, but it doesn't hit me in that way.
Was never a Deadhead, never saw them live, but I always loved them. And this is really one of the best songs I've ever heard. They were truly excellent in every way.
I love this video. Absolutely hilarious ! Jerry chilling at the bar, Brent at the piano, Phil the center of female attention, and Bob is a kind of guide through this crazy tour. Catherine the Great, but without a horse. Guess a duck will have to do.
I love how Jerry pretty clear must have said "Look, Bob, you make whatever video you want. But about all you'll cajole me to do is play guitar in a bar and that's it. The other guys can dress up if they'd like to"
"There may come a day I will dance on your grave unable to dance I will crawl" LMAO...LONG LIVE THE DEAD!!!! Soooooo glad I got to experience that rare, special scene. ✌😎
Well most OG Deadheads are pretty old by now haha, but keep rocking no matter how old. We might be going to hell in a bucket, but at least we'll enjoy the ride
Guilty of 56 dead shows, every single song, every single video, sums up my life!!! I'm 60 now, seen and done more than most, and enjoyed every minute!!!
I thank God for the day in 1990 when my sister, with her packed VW bus, invited me to go see the Grateful Dead in Vermont. I went. To experience the Grateful Dead, it was not a concert,more like an "event".... Everyone was in a good mood, no negativity. The parking lot was a farmers field,and it was one big party..we ended up meeting up with 2 other groups of friends she knew. We camped out of her bus and it was one of the best experiences I had. The fact Jerry only had a few years left, I'm so glad I went. It was one of those invites you know if you don't go,you regret it.... I ended up getting fired from my crappy job, but it was worth it...
I remember when I found this album I was fourteen. I used to blast it so loud my mom would pound Ion the floor to get me to turn it down,lol. This album is underappreciated. Love it. Jerry and fam are so needed today. Thanks . :)
I can't believe anybody liked this album. This was nothing like what they were really about. In The Dark, Go To Heaven, Built To Last, and even Blues For Allah were all made after their creative and innovative period were long gone and over. I don't know how old you are but from 67' to maybe 75' was the good stuff. I think these albums were just a result of them having to fulfill contracts they signed with the record companies. I've never known anybody that liked this album, but this song was played a lot live and live it wasn't half bad, but The Dead & a music video is just a ridiculous idea. A complete oxymoron to the kind of band they were.
@@carlo_cali I agree with most of what you said. But my expectations for this album was low. At that point of their career? It was alright. Certainly not like their prime. 'Go to Heaven' wasn't great either. As for their videos? Sit down and laugh at them...they are foolish.
@@robertmorley4506 I didn't even know this existed. None of this is the era I liked in the late 80's. I was in mid 60's to mid 70's phase. I don't find this even funny, it's just a head scratcher.
@@carlo_cali how old are you? Toe it's the corporate fun of the eighties. Bit if you know the facts about the dead, they started as a CIA funded an resources indoctrination program. Many song writers are cia. Robert Hunter. Perhaps you need dog some more. I get it though. I just like the fun of it all.
I get tears in my ears when I see Jerry. You can always tell great guitarist by their signature sound: David Gilmour, Mark Knofler, Jeff Beck and Jerry Garcia. One note and you know who it is
You analyze me, attempt to despise me, and laugh when I stumble and fall. There may come a day I will dance on your grave. If unable to dance, I will crawl across it. Unable to dance I'll crawl. YEAH! Unable to dance, I'll crawl!
Billy and Mickey as the Devil Drivers is perfect casting.! 5:36 Man Bob can really act ! (Jk😅) Jerry had the good idea to leave after the opening scene! But the live shot at the end really brought back memories.Bobby's shorts were legendary.Jerry before the last haircut was really on his game and Brent was still somewhat in reality before his eyez became permanantly silver plates .Miss this so much .lm the same age Jerry was when he died They added so much joy to life.Dont Cry now, Dry your eyes on the wind...
Gotta love Bob Weir. The dude has a “grate” way to make a great song. This band has ALWAYS OOZED TALENT from day ONE. They are nothing short of amazing 😉.
A lot of Dead heads didn't really dig this album, but it was a new era, 80s, Last show I saw of the GD with Jerry....still an awesome track Thanks for posting!!!!
Funny you should so, about Bobby, well there is this dude on a old T.V. show called Taxi. It does include a character I believe called, well I can't remember just now, but he kinda was the spitting image of Bob Weir, kinda weird a couple times when I went in tour in ,90 and ,91, completely forgot that until today, and I'm still not 100% sure it wasn't him. Please reassure me if you can.
@@Sassifrassilassi His character was, get ready, Bobby Wheeler, I don't recall his stage name, it wasn't Bob Weir though, I checked that much, but left that question out of my mouth around deadheads. His character always wanted, to become an actor, instead of a cabby. You're the best 4 getting back to me on this, so now I'm back to sincerely suspecting it was actually him, but dunno. I really love Jerry, doin that too. You know in tour in 91 in Kansas Jerry completely out of nowhere ended the show with Cosmic Charlie, you should listen, bye from Alligator. Bob Weir/ Bobby Wheeler, They look nearly identical, neck up, for sure. Both had long, semi long hair and only doubt I have is Weir seems skinnier.
Bob Weir has always been my favorite Dead Member. Glad there is footage of him performing with Louisville's own My Morning Jacket on UA-cam. I used to follow The Jacket Boys 15 years ago the way the older generations followed The Grateful Dead.
This is one of my favorite Dead songs. Isn't really one of there classic jam songs but is very catchy for me. I was in Grand Cayman Islands several years ago and going on a shuttle trip to Hell, which is a very interesting rock formation there. The tour guide said that we were going to hell in a bucket and I thought of this song.
I love that UA-cam suggests this to me when I come home at sunrise. Also , let's be honest, if you call a taxi and Devil Billy and Devil Mickey show up in a convertible... TAKE THAT RIDE!
scott merrow In Brenden’s defense, it’s pretty damn cheesy and I think he’s eluding to the thankful fact that their niche wasn’t music videos or pop albums. But hell (in a bucket), I don’t know :) IMO, it’s the Dead and they earned the right to do whatever the F they wanted to do. Miss Jerry!
I don't know how I ever saw this till now...but I love it. I think it's meant to be a tongue in cheek parody of 1980s' excess videos. Bobby in the Miami Vice suit is a trip. About halfway through I was wondering where Phil was but when he showed up it was perfect. Phil had such an expressive face, that frozen smile he has on is hilarious for some reason; the whole video is. Even Brent, who often struck me as surly as all getup, seems to be having a great time here. Awesome video.
New George's in San Rafael. Bobby in a lavender suit! WOO-HOO. Phil in a top hat, in a fancy red suit. And the goose! Awesome. At least I'm enjoying the ride, yeah!
that is some great acting by bob, and sweet bar scenes with jerry, and the wicked red car ride with the rhythm devils. Thanks for the upload @gratefuldead channel and again that black background really fulfills the concept of enjoyment!
This sounds much more mature and modern than the 70s sound in my opinion. The 70s sound was too country sounding. This 80s sound goes more towards pure modern rock and alternative rock
For 30 some odd years I thought he was singing,, “a taste of your elegant pie.” I only learned the real lyric to play in my band at the time.Funny that It made me think of Booger in that silly movie, “We’ve got bush. wE have bush!” First time seeing the video I had to do s double lookt to make sure the Dominatrix was not Kelly LeBrock. She was hubba hubba and a bag of chips when I was a teenager. “ do you boys want to take a ddhoeerThey wore swimsuits in the shower?”I probably would have too back then. Bwahahahaha!II’m cracking up here.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️,❤️&🎸s.
I'm reading Kreutzmann's book" Deal"and as I go along he makes a lotta suggestions for UA-cam videos that go with his stories. Otherwise, I doubt I would have looked this up. I'm glad I did. It put a smile on my face. Sure, it's absurd and a downright bad video, yet it makes me strangely happy.
One of my all time favs. Still quote this song to this very day. It was a theme of being a teenager, and still is now in my 50’s. This video makes me smile no matter what is going on. 😂
Wow…MTV era for them 😃 I know that wasn’t their scene but this works great! What a lot of fun, I’m so glad this happened to them, they got a taste of that side of the business and we got this! ☺️

I think we can all agree, this is one of the music videos of all time.
It certainly is a music video made at the time
Undoubtedly a video that contains music.
I fuckin agree!!!!
We can but should we? Or space your face
Ah, yes. I like this song, all the while not believing the underpinning ontological premises. I don't believe in the phenomenal reality of Hell as described or entertained in the Judeo-christian ontology. However, if I was to go there I'd like at least to "enjoy the ride."
I am 61 years old, been a fan since the early 80's and this is the first time I've seen this video.
It's so 80's and yet so Dead....
BE GRATEFUL FOR THE DEAD!
Ive been a fan since the '80s as well, and just discovered there was a video for this song today. What a long strange trip it's been.
Once the Jerry tap is opened, for all intensive purposes, you're screwed 🤣
Miami Bob Weir
I'm right there with you. I found out about this video through Wikipedia.
best song they ever did, imo
RIP Phil Lesh ... No one could do it like you ❤
So we all came to this particular dead song. Cosmic. RIP Phil.

What a great Dad!
Hold that one close.
What did your dad like? Some Willie and Waylon?
The sordid past of the aflac duck before he got his act together.
They were trying to feed a shot of liquor to it in the background early in the video
That’s is so f.....g funny I’m still laughing what am I laughing about? Cameron Ragsdale comment about the infamous Aflac duck
Lol
The aflec duck was dropping acid, going on lot, screaming " 1 for 3, 2 for 7!" Thats what led him to his career in insurance.
😄
Bobby is dressed like Crockett from Miami Vice.....🤣 Priceless!
I think Crockett dressed like Bobby
Ridiculously so...in character? I hope lol
Those shoulder pads🤣
I love how it starts with the coolest looking Jerry Garcia ever and then the camera is like nope, were following the dork in the purple blazer next to him
😂😂😂😂
Even Jerry looks pissed about it, how he lowers his eyebrows & everything 😂😂
Well, Bobby is still the most good looking dork I've ever seen. ❤
Jerry Garcia was the coolest guy in the world! It's a shame that he didn't get the treatment he needed so badly.
Truth 😂 but man I love Bobby.
This is literally the greatest thing I've ever seen.
+dkroll92 the only thing it lacks is some Jerry
...times infinity
@@danielg.s.8811 "the only thing it lacks is some Jerry"...Jerry is ripping up the guitar leads here...

The song that got me into the Dead was "Weather Report Suite," which is one of the least Dead-ly of their many tracks.
Bobby & Eric Andersen gave us that one w/lyrics by John Perry Barlow.
His guitar playing totally underrated too. Has to be among the very best rhythm guitarists ever, completely unique
You like the Dead, went to a few shows in the 80s and don’t understand why Weir is underrated. How is that not a deadhead
@subg8858 being a deadhead is something different. For me, I could take them or leave them, with the dead. I recognize their talent, but it doesn't hit me in that way.
How in the sweet hell have I never seen this?
Yessir, same as I
Ditto Bro!
Agreed!
Me too and I think luck is the right answer...
Exactly
Was never a Deadhead, never saw them live, but I always loved them. And this is really one of the best songs I've ever heard. They were truly excellent in every way.
The epitome of 80's videos. And I love it.
I seriously don’t understand how this doesn’t have 25 million hits and more.
Cause it’s an embarrassment to the Dead, that’s why.
@@jondavid3641 I thought so too at first but it really grew on me. The video is cheesy but the song is great
It's definitely not an embarrassment. All about having fun!
Yes, one of my least favorite dead tunes and I love the dead. Hell is no joke.
@@sunkintreeTheir best 80s song

Don't forget Bill and Mickey as devils giving Bobby the ride haha

They must have had a blast making this video. That vision of Bill Kreutzman in the devil's outfit is just great.
Bill makes a great Devil :)
Love it. Never seen it before. Love how the duck went for the champagne.
LMAO at that, he must have been thirsty.
I've gotten much older now but still LOVE the Dead!!! Hell yeah!!!!
I love them the older I get
Well most OG Deadheads are pretty old by now haha, but keep rocking no matter how old.

Guilty of not making it out of the parking lot and into the show more than once 🤣🍄
How...literally HOW is this not to at least at a couple million views
Arguably one of their best works
It's pretty good. Never one of their best though, come on.
I am 60 now and never got into the Dead much when I was younger. But I am a fan now by God !

But like Macca, it’s really good cheese.

I know some people hate this video,I think it's great it shows they have a sense of humor . Gotta love Bobs Miami vice sport jacket ahh the 80's.
When your music label forces you to put out music videos and you're the Dead, this is what happens.

She was hubba hubba and a bag of chips when I was a teenager. “ do you boys want to take a ddhoeerThey wore swimsuits in the shower?”I probably would have too back then. Bwahahahaha!II’m cracking up here.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌️,❤️&🎸s.
I'm reading Kreutzmann's book" Deal"and as I go along he makes a lotta suggestions for UA-cam videos that go with his stories. Otherwise, I doubt I would have looked this up. I'm glad I did. It put a smile on my face. Sure, it's absurd and a downright bad video, yet it makes me strangely happy.
I am too. I gotta love the duck. Hey at least the weren't smoking quack
+tgproductions97 That's a goose, NOT a duck.

"DEAD" heads
+Bobby Parks If it makes you happy, is it really that bad?
One of my all time favs. Still quote this song to this very day. It was a theme of being a teenager, and still is now in my 50’s. This video makes me smile no matter what is going on. 😂
"Willy's drivin' his chopper, up and down your carpeted halls...." After 30 years, it just now clicks with me that that may be a sexual reference.
it's "Cause when he's chargin' his chopper"
OK. May still be a sexual reference.
'Cause when he's drivin' his chopper up and down your carpeted halls, you will think me, by contrast, quite proper.
D'oh.
Well, you're still ahead of me -- I didn't get it til I read your comment.

Wow. That was awesome.
