@@Rob_Kates Trucking , Sugar Magnolia, Casey Jones. All from Skeletons from the closet album back in late 60's early 70's. Im in my 40's and was listening to this in the 80's. Its great. That album for sure.
I was in the crowed the night this was filmed . They finished a concert and asked who wanted to stay to shoot the video. This is something you only experience once in your life.
That's amazing! I'm sure you felt super lucky to experience that. Jerry passed a few months after I was born, but I've always wished I could have seen them live. ☺️
Almost 50 years old and just kicked a 10 year fentanyl / crystal meth addiction. Taking it one day at a time. This song is my anthem. Thanks Jerry, Bob, Phil, Bill, Mickey, Brent, and Robert Hunter. And God bless the former Dead. They still live among us. ETA - The very next day after I wrote this, Phil Lesh passed. Thank you so much Phil, we love and miss you. Rest easy in the knowledge you touched innumerable lives. Tell Jerry, Vince, Keith, Pigpen, and Brent their light still shines brightly..
I played this song on my way to prison to remind myself i could do this. when i got in there i met the only other deadhead on the compound and we kept each other going thru music. He was white and im black but prison racial tension was never between us. We were from different walks of life and from different parts of the country. The only thing we had in common was the Grateful Dead and that was all we needed. When one of us was feelin down we'd crank up the tunes and jam. Makes me tear up thinkin about it. Couldnt have made it w/o him and the Dead is what brought us together, forever grateful.✌🏾😎🍄
I'm a 53 year old black man from Oklahoma City Oklahoma and in 1985 my freshman year of highschool i had a science teacher named Mr Michael Mason that all nine months of the school year he proclaimed Friday dead day no work no test no talking we just listened to the dead so I'm a fan to this day when I'm hurting mentally or emotionally I just listen to some dead it takes the pain away thank you Mr Mason for teaching me dead music because you sure as hell didn't teach me any sience lol 2024
Haha! I had a Physics teacher senior year (2002-2003), similar, Friday was a chill day. My buddy and I knew why... we showed up to class in the same state he did, and he knew.
U graduated in 89?? I think the 80s music was the best .brought on by the 70s music started heading dn hill in 90s. Now most stuff i can not even call music..class of 87. I had an awesome hs experience. Didnt learn much but i had a ton of fun.!!!!

I found a pale sky blue T-shirt on a flea market site, with a cool skeleton printed on it. I just liked the design, but I became interested in the band that made it, and the rest is as you see. I should have asked the Japanese person on that flea market site about this band before coming here.

My brother-in-law was a big Deadhead. We lost him all too young and suddenly. I was fighting back tears while driving soon after he passed when this song came on. Thank you for helping me get through it.
@@scotttea5010 Yeah. It will be a year ago tomorrow that he OD'ed. He always had issues with it, but he did kick for a while when he moved to Oregon. I'm just glad that we were the ones who found him and not his nephews.
My condolences. Grief and loss is just so hard to deal with man.. and no disrespect but I read your comment 3 times and read it like "my brother in law was a big dickhead" THREE TIMES .. lol! Hopefully that made you laugh .. I see now, clearly says Deadhead. I'm a bit under the weather fyi. Sorry man stay strong
Seventy years old and I have survived; what a great song. When I started on TH-cam this is the song I've chosen to get my username from. Love and peace to all!
I'm 76 and still enjoying being here. Imagine when Elton John made it sound terrible to be "60 years of age, when the ragged dog they gave me has been ten years in the grave..." I am in the Tampa Bay area, and we are blessed to have a truly GREAT tribute band, called "Uncle John's Band" here, so we get to hear totally killer versions of GD songs.
I was at these shows and was in for the filming. 30 years later, after three fights with cancer, a stroke, and all life can throw at me, all I have to say is.. I will get by, I will survive. Thank you, Jerry.
I'm 49 years old and this song and end of the line take me back to a great time in my life. Every one close to me was alive and well. Music may be the most powerful thing on earth at times.
Greetings from Argentina. Here we don't even have a clue of what was Grateful Dead. We live in a perpetual crisis. I just listened this song by chance and gave me hope. Even a smile. I began to understand why so many americans love them
That's pretty cool I'm a 55 year old African-American woman and I've been listening to the grateful Dead and I graduated in 1988🎉 and what a long strange trip it's been❤
I'm a single mom in recovery and every morning I play this song while I'm getting us ready for another day.... gets me pumped up and in the right head space!!!
Single moms are doing the lords work. I’m a stay at home dad and I couldn’t imagine having to do it all my myself. Single moms are braver than the troops.
That's great to hear. I'm proud of you for taking the responsible road and thinking of your kids first. I'm 51 and made the mistake of thinking I could keep living in denial. While my life flew behind me, I missed out on parts of my kids' early years, and I regret it tremendously. We're close now, but I'll never get those days back. Keep it together. It's worth it. Do whatever it takes. Listening to this every morning is a great start to a sober day.
I hope you are still doing well with your recovery. I'd like to hear more about your story. I am not a professional minster, but have a few people I try to encourage and help with their battles.
The line, "I will get by, I will survive," became a mantra of resilience in the Dead community. When Jerry Garcia fell into a diabetic coma in July 1986, it looked like the group could be finished; when he returned to action in December, the group opened with "Touch Of Grey," reassuring fans that they would indeed get by.
Was in a residential treatment center recently. They had karaoke on Saturday nights. Never could get drunk enough to do that on the outside. Did this song. Everyone dug it, had em join in, even the young ones. Thanks Jerry and company. We will get by
@@AJ_Deadshow For sure. At the time I had just broken up with a girlfriend and was moping so bad but the song came out two months later and really did a great job of comfort. Today I wonder why I lost so much sleep over her !!
As a recovering addict, this song always meant a lot to me. I would sing it when i was getting high and knew one day I’d survive it. That day was 4 months ago
Don't use and go to meetings. It is about getting passed that. It was for me. I got sober 20 months after I heard the premiere in Landover MD 1982. Just whistle through your teeth and spit.
I’m 32 and been hearing this song my whole life but just now really listened to the lyrics and it made me cry. Life hurts bad sometimes but it’s not the end.
I love ❤ The Greatful Dead and I am a white supremisist gang member, this goes to my bones. I think Jerry Garcia was and is Awesome, R.I.P but your inspiration helps me stay alive to this day, especially this song. Rock on!!!!❤😊
My little brother, A HUGE GRATEFUL DEAD FAN, who followed them sometimes, dedicated this song for me at my wedding. I just lost him in October. He was 46 years old. May you rest in Peace baby brother FREDRIC JON JONES 12/15/1974-10/20/2021 YOU ARE MISSED AND LOVED SO MUCH
I'm 57 years old and I've just recently discovered the Grateful Dead, Upon further research of the band members and their style of music, I must say that each band member brings their own bag of musical expertise. Long Live the DEAD....... RIP Gerry.
The song that kept me from committing suicide after I lost my leg in a horrible motorcycle accident. I played that song on my Sony CD player on repeat all day while learning to walk again. It was there that I was informed by a nurse that Jerry died.
A periodic tune that you heard a thousand times. And still somehow finds itself right there when you need it. This is an anthem No matter how tough things can get... keep on keeping on. And everything will be alright
Well said, and totally agreed. It’s a song that has somehow been with me at a few very important moments, or just some very memorable moments … but it’s more than just a song. It’s a little bit magical I think. It has some real power to it.
When I was a kid I always liked this song but thought it was silly. Reading the comments I had no idea how important this song was in helping people through life’s hardships.
I stumbled across this via a comedy podcast I was listening to. I can’t believe it’s taken me 39 years to actually listen to The Grateful Dead. I loved this song and I’ll be listening to them at work today
This comment section is ridiculous. I come here to listen to music and end up reading the rantings of psychotic, mentally ill paranoid lunatics. Thankfully the pot smoking, acid dropping, tie-dye Deadhead hippies helped to reaffirm my faith in humanity. Thank Jerry not everyone has gone completely bat guano.
My absolute favorite song of all time. You can have the worst day in the world life can be falling apart, wife can be taken all your money an feeding your kids a bunch of lies and this song right here just puts you at a ease. Thank you Grateful Dead. That is all I have to say cause it's all right.✌❤
@Daniel Redmond You’re a real Deadhead, aren’t ya, buddy? Well, um, think you’ve got any tips for somebody who’s trying to _become_ a Deadhead? (Besides, of course, keeping listening to the Grateful Dead…)
@@viniciusgmachado1204 Lucy is a slang for lsd/acid. It will give you a new appreciation for the grateful dead. Also listen to jams/full shows. The dead are so much better live except few songs most agree on this being one of them
I'm a 28-year-old millenial, and I usually like electronic music, but this song put me so at peace that it's become my favorite song. I'm not in a depressive phase, but I deal with suicidal depression, and I suspect this song'll be a companion the next time depression rears its head. "I will get by... I will survive."
Seek God with all your heart, you will find Him. I went through the same 46 years ago, when my Lord and Savior Yeshua/ Jesus reach me from darkness and drugs. With Him you will no only survive, but thrive. He make me a new man.
I had a friend who was troubled. I showed him this song. He said it was 'actually kinda nice' Years later, he's been uh, missing from Earth lately. Sucks that I couldn't do more to help him. But this song will always remind me of him, of us, of the struggle, and the multiple linings life has to all of its elements. Rest well 'Rinbro', if you see Jerry somewhere down there, give him a holler.
Phil Lesh is what got me into grateful dead almost a year ago now. The bassline in this song is absolutely insane and is nothing like I've heard. It plays in my head endlessly. RIP, thank you legend.
My mom just passed away on Mother’s Day. She was a deadhead and we went to a ton of dead and co shows together. When she was in the hospital we played this and sang it to each other. I wish she was still here. This will forever be our song. I love you mom.
I just had to come here this song again today as I wore my Jerry Garcia t-shirt live from the Fontanne theater. There are certain songs that touch your soul that never get old and always give you chills every time you listen to them! This is one of those inspirational Timeless songs and God bless everybody here that this has helped! Rest in peace Jerry!
The puppeteers really did a great job with the band's stage personalities, from Bobby's head bob to Brent's herky-jerk movements, they really got it right
Love it, when the dog, snags, the bone, and runs off with it in his mouth. Have to laugh, every time, I see it..lol..You are right, about the Puppeteers. What a unique video idea..
My earliest memories are watching MTV in the late '80s/early '90s, and three music videos stand out: "Burning Down the House" by the Talking Heads, "Take On Me" by A-Ha, and "Touch Of Grey" by the Grateful Dead. This song and video holds a very special place in my heart.
@@PJAndersson733 MTV...de que hablas? MTV...la verdad nunca pensé leer sobre esa tremenda basura..menos mal que Jerry ya está con Dual. Hendrix .janis.Brian.charlie. Jhon.jim morrison..no pueden leer. Se revolcarian en su tumba...MTV...no.no.no.no.
LYRICS: Must be getting early Clocks are running late Paint by number morning sky looks so phony Dawn is breaking everywhere Light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's alright I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive I see you've got your fist out Say your piece and get out Yes, I get the gist of it, but it's alright Sorry that you feel that way The only thing there is to say Every silver lining's got a touch of grey I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive It's a lesson to me The Ables and the Bakers and the Cs The ABCs we all must face Try to keep a little grace It's a lesson to me The Deltas and the East and the Freeze The ABCs we all think of To try to win a little love I know the rent is in arrears The dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears, but it's alright Cow is given kerosene Kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive The shoe is on the hand it fits There's really nothing much to it Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause it's alright Oh, well, a touch of grey, kind of suits you anyway That's was all I had to say, but it's alright I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive We will get by We will get by We will get by We will survive
Until I just read the lyrics to touch of grey I just didn't know how amazing they were as song writers I fucking love this n I blow all my money on dead memorabilia
My uncle Bobby turned me on to the Grateful Dead at an early age back in the 80's. This was always one of his favorite songs. We lost him last September to COVID. I play this song today in remembrance of him. Most of my music tastes today reflect what he introduced to me when I was young. I love you uncle Bobby, I miss you, and this will forever be our song.
I am 20 and have aniridia ASD and ADHD when I am listening to GRATEFUL DEAD…. Jerry Garcia… i feel soooo amazing! I love all music from60s70s80s Beatles Pink Floyd ELO ZEPPPLIN… good music and good vibes man. Music heals the SOUL… peace and love yall…:)
This is one of my favorite dead songs even though in terms of their catalog is more simple structured. The song just helped me a lot during my time getting off heroin, being in the judicial system, tossed around rehab to rehab by court. 8+ years off Heroin and even though life can still be extremely hard and a lot of days I just wanna never leave my home I somehow come back to this song. WE WILL SURVIVE!
Remember calling my hubby while I visited my mother after the birth of our daughter. Honey! the Grateful Dead have a video. Long time Dead fans. Good times they were.
Me too, in 1987. Then I didn't think of them much again until 2001 when I heard Sugar Magnolia for the first time in a bar. Then I became a total Deadhead.
When I am going through tough situations, I don't know why this song starts playing in my head. It feels like a blessing, so I just have to thank Jerry for it. Bless your memory.
True story. Summer of 1971, I drove a van from Phoenix to LA, then took the coast highway to SF. No idea where to go in SF, took an exit off the highway, heard some music, found a parking space, and followed the sound. Free concert on a dock with Jerry Garcia and the dead. What a different world it was way back then.
I miss him every day. I survived, just a different person. May his memory live on for generations. I'll never forget that day.... Ah, Jerry, you left us with so much love, thank you. My last concert was in 1991.... everyone had tears in their eyes when they played this. We didn't know that four years later...bless you, Jerry and the GD, for the music and love.
Since my teen years, this song has been my fighting song! I raised my three children, myself. When things got rough, I told myself, "I will get by!" It served me well! Now, at 68, I am struggling with a bone marrow cancer. And, you know what? "I will survive!" I am so 'Grateful" for the 'Dead'!
Never really cared for Deadheads. But I had a friend who was a huge one. I found out he was murdered today, two days ago, and came to hear his music. This is what he left me. I'm breaking down in tears.
Sorry my guy only good people get murdered it seems to me as ive only known one person to be murdered he was a dead head also in his own way but truly a kind good man at heart hang in there
My dad died today. This morning he was singing this song to me. My cousins' family band across the country put together a cover of this song for him by the afternoon. That was the last thing he heard before finishing (at least here) his long, strange trip.
Miles, I don't know you, but your story really touches me. (Sorry for my English, I'm a French Canadian) Best regards to your father, you and your family. The songs from "The Grateful Dead" are for me to fill the air ... Good luck!
Sending peace and love to Phil’s friends and family. His message of donor support is an inspiration and will save many lives. 🌞 we are GRATEFUL for the uplifting music ☮️ 🎸☮️
My favorite uncle (RIP) wasn’t a fan of the grateful dead but he loved this song when it came out. I was a kid, but always caught me with the sound. This song always reminds me of him. Great memories.
This song always, always finds me exactly when it's needed... As I sit here on a rock smoking the last of my blunt on a bluff, I am looking out at the sky and wouldn't you know the sky is parted with grey and yellow and there is a silver lining right below the grey..... Life is one long, strange trip and it may all be goin to hell in a bucket, but AT LEAST I'M ENJOYING THE RIDE!!! ⚡ WE WILL SURVIVE!!!
My old love introduced me to GD. We had a blast going to concerts. We were late one time and Jerry G looked me in the eyes and smiled. My love moved on, but my love for the GD never died.
I always thought this song was the perfect definition of irony. A song, written and performed by a band who couldn't have cared LESS about "mainstream" popularity or number 1 hits, that gave a bunch of "misfits" an international voice 35+yrs after they started their long strange trip... I'm reminded of how the late Bill Graham described the boy's after the last show at the Winterland Auditorium in SanFran ... "They're not the best at what they do, they're the ONLY ones who do what they do!!" Have a grateful day!!
I believe this was their first chart topper. "Trucking" and "Casey Jones" probably would have, except for a mention of a drug in each song (though both were cautionary, not promotional). "Uncle John's Band" surely would have except for "GD well I declare". I don't know why "Ripple" wasn't a hit.
This is the song that has kept me going single day on my way to work and class. I graduate with my Master’s on Friday even though I didn’t think I’d make it through the semester, but I got by and I survived!
Great comment from the other. Great song memories when I was single and young.now 64 yrs tk yhe most High God Almighty .tks again.i will play it Monday o bus 31 for the kids while taking them to school 🎒🏫. alright. God Almighty bless you'll stay safe.read your Bible.❤
I'M 71 TODAY .. & a dead fan since 1967..worked for bill graham and the dead in the early 90's ... " a touch of grey " or rather a lot of grey ... kinda suits me anyway .. thanks jerry !
I’ve never been one to see the power of music…until last year. I’m 53, 9 months ago a simple cough turned into a sepsis diagnosis 2 days later. I spent 11 days in ICU, on day 2 the Dr called my family together for the “ talk “. I was given 50/50 chance of surviving the next few days. I was in a relatively small hospital with only 12 ICU beds. In the 11 days I was there, I watched as the other 11 patients died all around me. I went from terrified to a calm peace by day 7. When my family would leave after visiting hours, I would break down crying - after trying to hold it together while my sons visited. I would put my earbuds in & listen to Spotify till I fell asleep. One particular night, this song came on & remembered it from high school. For some reason, I really enjoyed listening to the lyrics …. So I just kept it on repeat over & over. Coincidentally, the following day was when I started to feel at peace. The following few days I slowly began to feel better - until finally on day 11 I was released. I still suffer some issues from the sepsis, but I’m still above ground - & thankful every day I am.

Thank you, Jerry.
Douglas Berry You show 'em brother!
Douglas Berry Hell yea brother
Grateful Dead. Music n Lyrics.
+Douglas Berry god bless you sir
+Douglas Berry You inspire brother!
I'm 49 years old and this song and end of the line take me back to a great time in my life. Every one close to me was alive and well. Music may be the most powerful thing on earth at times.
Two of my favorites songs, and I am late in learning that.. Timeless
at all times.
I've been there. We are grown now. Beautiful lyrics I got you.
@@dustinz321 you're not late. You are appreciating music. Love you.
Thank You!!!!
Greetings from Argentina. Here we don't even have a clue of what was Grateful Dead. We live in a perpetual crisis. I just listened this song by chance and gave me hope. Even a smile. I began to understand why so many americans love them
Listen to 'Mars Hotel.'
Go buy "Working Man's Dead" or "Aoxomoxoa" immediately. Or just the live stuff on YT.
Need to send some tapes!!!
Argentinina might not know Greatful Dead but at least you all know Ramones😎
@@christopherfreeman1340 yep. Dee Dee even lived in Argentina. Here they filled stadiums
That's pretty cool I'm a 55 year old African-American woman and I've been listening to the grateful Dead and I graduated in 1988🎉 and what a long strange trip it's been❤
Me, too! 53, graduated in 89. My mom said that this our family's anthem...take that as you will!
I disagree. It is illegal for you to listen to this type of music 😤
89 yeah freaks and geeks of all sorts 😮 damn I miss it
Ur a American . The most American band this ever was .great taste in music . ❤
Oh I'm a white South African African American .
I'm a single mom in recovery and every morning I play this song while I'm getting us ready for another day.... gets me pumped up and in the right head space!!!
Single moms are doing the lords work. I’m a stay at home dad and I couldn’t imagine having to do it all my myself. Single moms are braver than the troops.
If you are not widowed, you are divorced. If you are divorced it is probably because you got bored and are alienating the father.
That's great to hear. I'm proud of you for taking the responsible road and thinking of your kids first. I'm 51 and made the mistake of thinking I could keep living in denial. While my life flew behind me, I missed out on parts of my kids' early years, and I regret it tremendously. We're close now, but I'll never get those days back. Keep it together. It's worth it. Do whatever it takes. Listening to this every morning is a great start to a sober day.
I hope you are still doing well with your recovery. I'd like to hear more about your story. I am not a professional minster, but have a few people I try to encourage and help with their battles.
i wanna play this song while playing an random halloween indie game on steam
The line, "I will get by, I will survive," became a mantra of resilience in the Dead community. When Jerry Garcia fell into a diabetic coma in July 1986, it looked like the group could be finished; when he returned to action in December, the group opened with "Touch Of Grey," reassuring fans that they would indeed get by.
I remember that. Sadly keyboardist Brent Mydland would pass away three years after this video and song came out.
Jennifer rabbit thank you for helping me get by love you Dad
@@muffs55mercury61 I saw the band with Brent at Autzen right before he passed. Still heavy to think about.
@@Marshall_Stacks He looked very happy and content when performing.
Was in a residential treatment center recently. They had karaoke on Saturday nights. Never could get drunk enough to do that on the outside. Did this song. Everyone dug it, had em join in, even the young ones. Thanks Jerry and company. We will get by
RIP Brother Phil, what a long strange trip it’s been 🙏🏼
Indeed it has. Forever Gratefully Deadicated. Thanks Phil. We love and miss you.
Losing my wife was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with this is one of her favorite song. R.I P. Kimberly Ann O'Brien 1-26 -68 2-10-2021
Thoughts with you brother! Keep on keeping on. May she forever rest in peace
My bday too.. may she rest in peace
L yb. Better
God Speed
I'm sorry brother. Please stay strong. She's still there watch hing over you. With no malice only love. 💯
Smoking some good weed and listening to Grateful Dead is amazing.
Love you babe
Peaking on acid is even better trust me
Not just some silly pop song that made the charts. No, a great, important song with a message that we all need. Thank you forever, Dead!
And in this world which seems like it's heading to the rock bottom this song is there to tell us it's not permanent and WE WILL SURVIVE!!
It became so popular BECAUSE we all needed it!
@@AJ_Deadshow For sure. At the time I had just broken up with a girlfriend and was moping so bad but the song came out two months later and really did a great job of comfort. Today I wonder why I lost so much sleep over her !!
It's even worse than it . appears. BUT IT'S ALRIGHT
Truer words have never been spoken... I will get by... Keep on keeping on man
While a teen, I suffered from an anxiety disorder. When this song came out, I truly appreciated its message.
As a recovering addict, this song always meant a lot to me. I would sing it when i was getting high and knew one day I’d survive it. That day was 4 months ago
Hang tough, you can do it.
Thank you!
Hang in there
Thank you! Each day is its own blessing
Don't use and go to meetings. It is about getting passed that. It was for me. I got sober 20 months after I heard the premiere in Landover MD 1982. Just whistle through your teeth and spit.
My dad just passed. And this song reminds me of better days. And that I will survive.
I’m 32 and been hearing this song my whole life but just now really listened to the lyrics and it made me cry. Life hurts bad sometimes but it’s not the end.
💙🖤
🤗🤗
True, gotta get your ass kicked once in awhile to really appreciate things. Then you'll look back and just laugh at what you thought were tough times
Sorry that you feel that way 😢 the only thing there is to say every silver linings got a touch of grey.
I love ❤ The Greatful Dead and I am a white supremisist gang member, this goes to my bones. I think Jerry Garcia was and is Awesome, R.I.P but your inspiration helps me stay alive to this day, especially this song. Rock on!!!!❤😊
When life gets you down, I sing this song. I will get by means I will survive and tough it through my situation.
I'm so glad this song has helped so many people get through so many different hardships in life, as it did for me.
Music is powerful and can also move mountains as well.
My little brother, A HUGE GRATEFUL DEAD FAN, who followed them sometimes, dedicated this song for me at my wedding. I just lost him in October. He was 46 years old. May you rest in Peace baby brother FREDRIC JON JONES 12/15/1974-10/20/2021 YOU ARE MISSED AND LOVED SO MUCH
Peace to you Holly, thank-you for sharing about your brother, these moments always link our universe to together. GB
Sorry for your loss, Holly.
I know that sadness. I lost my little 3 years old brother when I was 10. God comfort your soul. Keep the faith,we will see them again.
Oh man, that’s too young. What happened?
Sorry for your loss my friend
I've got tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat...
This song is such an emotional relief, I cry everytime I listen to it. Love you grateful dead
I'm 57 years old and I've just recently discovered the Grateful Dead, Upon further research of the band members and their style of music, I must say that each band member brings their own bag of musical expertise. Long Live the DEAD....... RIP Gerry.
Better late than never

That's great man! I love how new generations enjoy music from the past
And when they are musicians in their own right, they will always remember it.
That's awesome. Always best to raise them on good music.
The song that kept me from committing suicide after I lost my leg in a horrible motorcycle accident. I played that song on my Sony CD player on repeat all day while learning to walk again. It was there that I was informed by a nurse that Jerry died.
He would have been proud to know that you kept on Truckin' :)
Ride On Brother!
Keep truckin' brother!
You’re very strong.
Praise the Lord and congrats
I love that they let the strings visible.
This song has really helped me in rough times. ❤
Me too 😉
A periodic tune that you heard a thousand times. And still somehow finds itself right there when you need it.
This is an anthem
No matter how tough things can get... keep on keeping on.
And everything will be alright
May not be alright per se,...but with ought adventure, triumph and failure,...what is life?
Well said, and totally agreed. It’s a song that has somehow been with me at a few very important moments, or just some very memorable moments … but it’s more than just a song. It’s a little bit magical I think. It has some real power to it.
Lol .. like just now when i looked it up :D .. followed by some Billy Strings
When I was a kid I always liked this song but thought it was silly. Reading the comments I had no idea how important this song was in helping people through life’s hardships.
Me favourite song by the Grateful Dead!
It's Amazing how things look different with some years in between !
I failed to appreciate it until I was well into adulthood and way more mature- they were great guys who were responsible artist
Music is therapy for a lot of us
Same
This is an amazing piece of work. No computer graphics or AI. Just a world of coolness.
By far one of the greatest songs ever written. Everything about it is great, and its message is fantastic.
I stumbled across this via a comedy podcast I was listening to. I can’t believe it’s taken me 39 years to actually listen to The Grateful Dead. I loved this song and I’ll be listening to them at work today
Enjoyyy
The only band I knew that sell out a show by word of mouth.
@Noble Failures, the second part of your name is surprisingly legit.
This comment section is ridiculous. I come here to listen to music and end up reading the rantings of psychotic, mentally ill paranoid lunatics. Thankfully the pot smoking, acid dropping, tie-dye Deadhead hippies helped to reaffirm my faith in humanity. Thank Jerry not everyone has gone completely bat guano.
@Noble Failures STFU douche bag . Talking out of your ass.
Rush did as well
Ever heard of Aerosmith ?
My absolute favorite song of all time. You can have the worst day in the world life can be falling apart, wife can be taken all your money an feeding your kids a bunch of lies and this song right here just puts you at a ease. Thank you Grateful Dead. That is all I have to say cause it's all right.✌❤
Omg I hope so
@Daniel Redmond You’re a real Deadhead, aren’t ya, buddy?
Well, um, think you’ve got any tips for somebody who’s trying to _become_ a Deadhead?
(Besides, of course, keeping listening to the Grateful Dead…)
@@viniciusgmachado1204 a few nights with Lucy is a pretty important part imo
@@wilfordbrimley1506 …Come again, sir?
@@viniciusgmachado1204 Lucy is a slang for lsd/acid. It will give you a new appreciation for the grateful dead.
Also listen to jams/full shows. The dead are so much better live except few songs most agree on this being one of them
"A touch of grey kind of suits you anyway..." Something we all figure out, and accept, eventually.
At that stage...accepted I will survive.
Time is NOT on our side
This band changed my entire life.
I'm a 28-year-old millenial, and I usually like electronic music, but this song put me so at peace that it's become my favorite song. I'm not in a depressive phase, but I deal with suicidal depression, and I suspect this song'll be a companion the next time depression rears its head. "I will get by... I will survive."
You will get by ... you will survive!
maaaan STFFUUUUUUU
Its allright...you will survive..keep on keeping on. One foot in front of the other
Seek God with all your heart, you will find Him. I went through the same 46 years ago, when my Lord and Savior Yeshua/ Jesus reach me from darkness and drugs. With Him you will no only survive, but thrive. He make me a new man.
It doesn't get much better than the old ones and they don't care about your age
I had a friend who was troubled. I showed him this song. He said it was 'actually kinda nice'
Years later, he's been uh, missing from Earth lately. Sucks that I couldn't do more to help him. But this song will always remind me of him, of us, of the struggle, and the multiple linings life has to all of its elements. Rest well 'Rinbro', if you see Jerry somewhere down there, give him a holler.
Down there! Lol. Yikes!🤣
Phil Lesh is what got me into grateful dead almost a year ago now. The bassline in this song is absolutely insane and is nothing like I've heard. It plays in my head endlessly. RIP, thank you legend.
My mom just passed away on Mother’s Day. She was a deadhead and we went to a ton of dead and co shows together. When she was in the hospital we played this and sang it to each other. I wish she was still here. This will forever be our song. I love you mom.
❤ god bless
I come to this song when I need to connect with my mom. I played this for her the night she passed away
Got a dancing bear tattoo for my mom
I just went to a Dead & Co. show 6/25. I'm sure your mom was there in spirit. RIP
I just had to come here this song again today as I wore my Jerry Garcia t-shirt live from the Fontanne theater. There are certain songs that touch your soul that never get old and always give you chills every time you listen to them! This is one of those inspirational Timeless songs and God bless everybody here that this has helped! Rest in peace Jerry!
I WILL, GET BY. I will survive!!
Hey asmr girl great to see you here
Words I've lived by!!!!
goddamn right honey. you and me, together
We will get by
@Dean Maker me too
Another long strange trip has come to an end. A new endless journey has begun. Thank you for the music Jerry and Phil. We are Grateful to the Dead.
The puppeteers really did a great job with the band's stage personalities, from Bobby's head bob to Brent's herky-jerk movements, they really got it right
What puppeteers? Lol

What puppeteers, they used Necromancers
they still use the marionetts. while Touring.
My earliest memories are watching MTV in the late '80s/early '90s, and three music videos stand out: "Burning Down the House" by the Talking Heads, "Take On Me" by A-Ha, and "Touch Of Grey" by the Grateful Dead. This song and video holds a very special place in my heart.
Same for me! Plus Dire Straits “I want my MTV”.

LYRICS:
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by number morning sky looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
I see you've got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes, I get the gist of it, but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the Cs
The ABCs we all must face
Try to keep a little grace
It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABCs we all think of
To try to win a little love
I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but it's alright
Cow is given kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
The shoe is on the hand it fits
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause it's alright
Oh, well, a touch of grey, kind of suits you anyway
That's was all I had to say, but it's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive

My uncle Bobby turned me on to the Grateful Dead at an early age back in the 80's. This was always one of his favorite songs. We lost him last September to COVID. I play this song today in remembrance of him. Most of my music tastes today reflect what he introduced to me when I was young. I love you uncle Bobby, I miss you, and this will forever be our song.
I am 20 and have aniridia ASD and ADHD when I am listening to GRATEFUL DEAD…. Jerry Garcia… i feel soooo amazing! I love all music from60s70s80s Beatles Pink Floyd ELO ZEPPPLIN… good music and good vibes man. Music heals the SOUL… peace and love yall…:)
This is one of my favorite dead songs even though in terms of their catalog is more simple structured. The song just helped me a lot during my time getting off heroin, being in the judicial system, tossed around rehab to rehab by court. 8+ years off Heroin and even though life can still be extremely hard and a lot of days I just wanna never leave my home I somehow come back to this song. WE WILL SURVIVE!
Remember calling my hubby while I visited my mother after the birth of our daughter. Honey! the Grateful Dead have a video. Long time Dead fans. Good times they were.
Yes Jerry, I will get by and will survive!!! Have for 65yrs. Sure miss him!!!!

Me too, in 1987. Then I didn't think of them much again until 2001 when I heard Sugar Magnolia for the first time in a bar. Then I became a total Deadhead.
First Dead song I ever heard
Me too!
same @MrCzechers
Hadn't seen this video, and now it shows up in recommended. Appreciate it.
When I am going through tough situations, I don't know why this song starts playing in my head. It feels like a blessing, so I just have to thank Jerry for it. Bless your memory.

Rip Phil!!😢 Thanks for being a big part of my musical life
True story. Summer of 1971, I drove a van from Phoenix to LA, then took the coast highway to SF. No idea where to go in SF, took an exit off the highway, heard some music, found a parking space, and followed the sound. Free concert on a dock with Jerry Garcia and the dead. What a different world it was way back then.
I miss him every day. I survived, just a different person. May his memory live on for generations. I'll never forget that day.... Ah, Jerry, you left us with so much love, thank you.
My last concert was in 1991.... everyone had tears in their eyes when they played this. We didn't know that four years later...bless you, Jerry and the GD, for the music and love.
Since my teen years, this song has been my fighting song! I raised my three children, myself. When things got rough, I told myself, "I will get by!" It served me well!
Now, at 68, I am struggling with a bone marrow cancer. And, you know what?
"I will survive!"
I am so 'Grateful" for the 'Dead'!
You’re an inspiration and I love your spirit. Keep truckin
Really hope you are ok 😊
If You're 68 the song was released when you were 32 in 1987. Just a troll posting BS?
Rest easy Bill Walton gonna miss ya mate Thankyou for shining your light on this world.
Never really cared for Deadheads. But I had a friend who was a huge one. I found out he was murdered today, two days ago, and came to hear his music. This is what he left me. I'm breaking down in tears.
Love you :(
Sorry my guy only good people get murdered it seems to me as ive only known one person to be murdered he was a dead head also in his own way but truly a kind good man at heart hang in there
Batman will avenge ur fallen brother dont worry
Hope you feel better

My dad died today.
This morning he was singing this song to me. My cousins' family band across the country put together a cover of this song for him by the afternoon.
That was the last thing he heard before finishing (at least here) his long, strange trip.
I'm sorry man stay strong

My favorite uncle (RIP) wasn’t a fan of the grateful dead but he loved this song when it came out. I was a kid, but always caught me with the sound. This song always reminds me of him. Great memories.
I love my fans more than this band ..and that is a shit ton 😁👽👽👽👽👽😎🤓
This song always, always finds me exactly when it's needed...
As I sit here on a rock smoking the last of my blunt on a bluff, I am looking out at the sky and wouldn't you know the sky is parted with grey and yellow and there is a silver lining right below the grey.....
Life is one long, strange trip and it may all be goin to hell in a bucket, but AT LEAST I'M ENJOYING THE RIDE!!! ⚡
WE WILL SURVIVE!!!
I've had this song on loop for the last two hours as I finished up some late night work. What a pleasant way to end the night!
My old love introduced me to GD. We had a blast going to concerts. We were late one time and Jerry G looked me in the eyes and smiled. My love moved on, but my love for the GD never died.
Just recently discovered this song and decided to go through more of their work. Safe to say I have fallen in love with this band.
Do you like garlic and onion?
Welcome on the bus. I have been on for over 50 yrs
I always thought this song was the perfect definition of irony. A song, written and performed by a band who couldn't have cared LESS about "mainstream" popularity or number 1 hits, that gave a bunch of "misfits" an international voice 35+yrs after they started their long strange trip... I'm reminded of how the late Bill Graham described the boy's after the last show at the Winterland Auditorium in SanFran ... "They're not the best at what they do, they're the ONLY ones who do what they do!!"
Have a grateful day!!
I believe this was their first chart topper. "Trucking" and "Casey Jones" probably would have, except for a mention of a drug in each song (though both were cautionary, not promotional). "Uncle John's Band" surely would have except for "GD well I declare". I don't know why "Ripple" wasn't a hit.
This is the song that has kept me going single day on my way to work and class. I graduate with my Master’s on Friday even though I didn’t think I’d make it through the semester, but I got by and I survived!
Great comment from the other. Great song memories when I was single and young.now 64 yrs tk yhe most High God Almighty .tks again.i will play it Monday o bus 31 for the kids while taking them to school 🎒🏫. alright. God Almighty bless you'll stay safe.read your Bible.❤
I love how Jerry's skeleton is missing fingers, the accuracy is a nice touch 😅
I'M 71 TODAY .. & a dead fan since 1967..worked for bill graham and the dead in the early 90's ...
" a touch of grey " or rather a lot of grey ... kinda suits me anyway .. thanks jerry !
Saw them in 1985.....still got the Tshirt "20 grateful years".
Yes! Ventura!
Death, although sad and tragic, is what actually gives your life meaning. For this, i am very grateful.
Thankful my parents raised me to be Grateful! Proud to say I’ve been listening to this song from the womb to now🎶
😐
The power of music is unmatched.
R.I.P. Great Robert Hunter (1941-2019). So grateful for your lyrics.
I’ve never been one to see the power of music…until last year. I’m 53, 9 months ago a simple cough turned into a sepsis diagnosis 2 days later. I spent 11 days in ICU, on day 2 the Dr called my family together for the “ talk “. I was given 50/50 chance of surviving the next few days. I was in a relatively small hospital with only 12 ICU beds. In the 11 days I was there, I watched as the other 11 patients died all around me. I went from terrified to a calm peace by day 7. When my family would leave after visiting hours, I would break down crying - after trying to hold it together while my sons visited. I would put my earbuds in & listen to Spotify till I fell asleep. One particular night, this song came on & remembered it from high school. For some reason, I really enjoyed listening to the lyrics …. So I just kept it on repeat over & over. Coincidentally, the following day was when I started to feel at peace. The following few days I slowly began to feel better - until finally on day 11 I was released. I still suffer some issues from the sepsis, but I’m still above ground - & thankful every day I am.
