Grateful Dead - Throwing Stones (Official Music Video)

[@BLU.-.J]

Since i was a kid, I was told by my parents that some songs are prophetic.

[@cdcdcst]

This one is. This today. Someone's got turn thsi fukkin ugly page!

[@ThomasJacoby-f5r]

'87. Huh. Still gives me chills, perhaps even more than it did then. Phenomenal, beautiful, and utterly terrifying.

[@copscantsurf3458]

I literally got chills when they were doing ring around the Rosie

[@odinsson852]

The song most relevant to the times we're living in.

[@valeriedangelo3623]

"It hasn't got a name just yet". Now we do... 10/17/20 🌊🌊🌊

[@jtem9313]

Not to date myself but, I saw them perform this live. Yeah, it was awesome.

[@BlessedbyGodsGrace]

Some of the best times of my life! Still going! Much love ❤and light ✨️

[@ColbyDean-wl6kn]

Cool

[@martinwhelan6629]

Me to I was 15 or 16

[@allamericananti-christ666]

I remember having to dance my way through the crowd to get a fresh beer during this song. I don't dance. But it was the only way.

[@mitchsanders6900]

Ah the is freaking hysterical! :) so awesome ... I'm laughin so hard

[@chacemiller6340]

I call that to look when you just crossed the Sahara desert and you got that look in your eye and you need that beer more than you need life it says it all

[@chacemiller6340]

Although I must confess I'm not the Antichrist and I will never deny the Lord however I've had a drink at 12:00 on occasion and certainly ran into certain female like substances that altered my evening I'm just saying I'm human

[@nancyprescott102]

You're awesome

[@bongodave13]

Thank you for dancing. You don't have to be a good dancer. Just dance with us, that's all we need.

[@kevinpatrick5656]

I wonder how many picked up on this song during the 49ers. Lions game tonight? Brings me back to senior year in high school

[@bettiraige3474]

Timeless words. After all these years, still so relevant.

[@nancymeagher7733]

This song showed up on Greenpeace Rainbow Warriors 2 CD set. I bought it in either 98 or 99. My elderly Dad liked the whole 2 CD set from Greenpeace. I actually took the Old Pollack to the 89 March for Women's Lives in DC when I was in grad. school. We had a great time, and at that time, it was the largest women's right's march ever in the history of the country. It was eclipsed after inauguration 2017.

[@АлексейФёдоров-у9о]

Мы купили в 1990. Помню, там было много хорошей музыки.

[@BoldlyEnlightened]

Funny how this song still holds it's meaning 30+ years later

[@gratefuldead2379]

that's because this song speaks a strong truth.

[@adrianpeterspeters6149]

John S um? Yes you are correct, also this is the dead, so timeless has no time to date!!!!!!

[@tinajeppesen5948]

Bob Weir❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cheapthrilll6323]

The darkness never goes from some men's eyes...

[@elebenty5709]

No better in January 2020

[@gregvanderlaan]

I remember hearing this at RFK Stadium in Washington DC... Dancing in the Mud on the Football Field. High on LSD... EPIC SHOW!

[@dennisbrooks8566]

Trying to remember . Dark Star into Smokestack Lightning , then the sky fell with a hell of a thunderstorm . Mud sliding across the 50 yard line .

[@mjenn6154]

Yassss! With Bruce Hornsby and Traffic!! Or was it Sting? Those years run together! I know the huge thunderstorm, someone getting struck by lightning and that guy running and jumping over the lower balcony to the floor followed by a broken hip and ambulance were omens for sure in 95💔🥺

[@donsylvester1107]

Edited out the best line of the song, "The future's here, we are it. We are on our own."

[@hannabaal150]

It was a bit more than that... … Heartless powers try to tell us what to think If the spirit's sleeping then the flesh is ink History's page will be neatly carved in stone The future's here, we are it, we are on our own On our own, on our own, we are on our own … If the game is lost, then we're all the same No one left to place or take the blame We will leave this place an empty stone Or that shining ball of blue we call our home … So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones And the politicians throwing stones Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down Ashes, ashes, all fall down

[@g51582]

John Cutler recruited a bunch of kids from his kid's school (Presidio Hill School in San Francisco) for this video. I was 12 and a bit too old, but it's fun to see these kids again (I can remember about half their names, which sort of amazes me).

[@Joe-kv2tk]

a great timeless song! Never get tired of it.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Caught this one quite a few times during an "The Other One>Wharf Rat> Throwing Stones> Not Fade Away" after Drums in the Second Set, or "Other>Rat>Throwing>Away". It always got the crowd pumped up and singing, no matter what the real repercussions were. It is now 2024 as I write this, so Please Vote BLUE this year! From an old Head.

[@DriftinAndDreamin]

No time to be falling down people, time to rise up and keep on shining.

[@devon23171]

Looking at all these older comments 5 years ago saying how relevant this song is you had no idea its 2022 now and this song is literally being played out in front of us today crazy times. LGB!

[@StoneHwendge]

5 years ago the left screetched that Trump was going to get us into a nuclear war. And we had world peace. Now Big Joey has got us close to Armageddon - his words!

[@bongodave13]

Right down to the Nazis.

[@MelKirkRN]

… and here we are in 2024. Same song. Still applies.

[@torresmaria842]

2024 Oct. 26

[@deniseahlquist3957]

Nov. 6, 2024 ☮️

[@konakuzo]

I heard this song for the first time on a bootleg from Boston 1982. I was in high school. Chilling at Vaugh Charlton's garage apartment Landenburg. I bet I've heard this song 1,000 times maybe more. This fucking song rocks.

[@Dootium]

Those bootlegs are pretty hard to find nowadays! Lucky you!

[@recratdemopublican2024]

I remember hearing this on my portable radio back when this song was new, my dad was a maintenance man for Hardee's and i had this on top of his old '72 Toyota ugly green corona

[@MrNb22]

I love the steampunk vibe on their outfits in this vid. Also notice - most bands close out comments for their youtube videos: this band does not. That's quite interesting.

[@jenniferjuniper97]

Bless you, all. Be safe. Love one another.

[@noogie1]

2020, guess who pays the price. Be safe everyone, was to young to live in the 80s, survived the depressing 00-10, let's hope '21 is better.

[@stephenhernandez4729]

SO GOOD, GOLDEN AND HAUNTING! 😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😳😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱😱😵😵😵😵😵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@paulkushner2498]

I have been singing this song for months. What an appropriate time

[@douglasmachacek9579]

I was talking with my friend Jason today about how the early 90's Dead shows are some of our best memories.

[@fastorange6463]

Anyone else reaching for this song in the last couple days?

[@copscantsurf3458]

What was going on when you posted that reply two years ago?

[@fastorange6463]

@copscantsurf3458 Russia began their special military operation in Ukraine.

[@shaynabreslin6682]

Absolutely haunting me.

[@tdhayes1]

Crazy assignment! I printed out the lyrics to this song for my 2 children for them to analyze during their summer break between 7-8th and 8-9th grades. Seemed like an interesting way to introduce them to deeper thinking- maybe! GOT NOTHING BACK! They did not even try! This generation is "INTERERSTING!" The only word I could think of! Actually, they say it (interesting) a LOT! They are 24 and 25 now and DO NOT remember nor care one IOTA about that challenge that could have opened their eyes to their future life! Aside from food, clothing, shelter and nourishing, what more could I do for them? The words of this song are a map to our success! Ashes, Ashes, ALL FALL DOWN! Stop the BUITLLSH!

[@mikegregory2492]

I remember listening to this once on the Greenpeace album back in 89. Have not heard it since, and it sounds as good as ever!

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

Greenpeace album? really? ... never heard of it! :)

[@victorchecketts1088]

one of bob weirs most powerful songs off this great album

[@kellyjohns6612]

THE best Dead song ever. Never gets old.

[@Veghead]

My favorite band of all time.

[@jesperlarsson5810]

Mine too. If I have a night drinking (and some ”extras”) and listening to music, I always have to wait a few hours before I put on Grateful Dead. Cause when Grateful Dead comes on the stereo, nothing else will do after them really. I’m sucked into their world and can easily listen to them for 7-8 hours in a row. If I try to put something else on after it just sounds weak and boring in comparison. My wife will kill me some day, haha.

[@VeronicaHernandez-pt7bo]

So relevant as the wars continue.

[@toddcuster3557]

Just another masterpiece by this band of troubadours

[@judsonclayto7813]

surprised i've never seen this video... known the song for 20 years

[@judsonclayto7813]

one of my fav songs from the setlist with Ratdog at the GA Theater in Athens, Ga... 1999

[@gypsysprinkle7]

I’ve known it way longer than that and I’ve never seen it either

[@Pittie21]

It's been this way, forever. So prescient!

[@hedleykerr3564]

Boy how this song hits home with the times were living in now, Aug. 2020

[@jerrypaugh3133]

I think this song is truly amazing and message is true to this day we all have to think about what life really is I love this because the message is true. Think about

[@rodneykolasa3294]

WOW I can believe that I haven't seem this until now!!!!

[@jtizzo3696]

To Mr Barlow, who held a tread that wove a beautiful cloth.

[@michaelsturdevant9196]

Damn, Bobby wrote some really good songs

[@jonathansheehan3121]

Ashes Ashes All Fall Down 💖

[@adrianmetzler2523]

This song could’ve been written centuries ago, and by the look of it, centuries in the future.

[@joescott8877]

Hopefully, people will be there in the future TO hear it!

[@timzahniser2102]

a classic and brilliant video!!

[@ericwoodard1103]

The song is a bit too edited for my tastes, but I gotta love the sentiment here. The kids throwing the colorful paintballs at that b/w autocratic painting....good stuff! I agree with everyone else--this SOOOOO hits now in 2020! (I learned I loved it in like 1986!?!?!) God bless this band!

[@TRPark-xp1hy]

unfortunately this song has become timeless and all too relevant

[@HarryBurgan]

Perfectly put.

[@alanfriedley1654]

Really. Quite so indeed . . Shut the fxxk up and split to Mars tomorrow Wusk.... Musk... Mask. !!!!! >. Now there's one to go viral

[@ttc.o4007]

Yes. I do not agree with their ideals , but....they were on point with this song

[@andru1745]

😊😊

[@JohnStadler-if1ov]

Spot on

[@kennygr8ify]

I'm a couple days late; however, happy heavenly eightieth birthday, Jerry Garcia!

[@cindyb8573]

So relevant!

[@MrStuVW]

LOVE is all about making this life right for ALL LIFE, Nothing but LOVE, Let's do it! LOVE IS IT.

[@jerrypaugh4570]

this song has a great things and truly one best song of the grateful dead and this make you think as will think about

[@jamesmaxwell9934]

Ah,Bob and Jerry having fun again! More folks should check this song out.You don't have to be a dead head, I'm not. Tighten up bitches!

[@nancymeagher7733]

It is a great addition to Rainbow Warriors double CD album and was my introduction to the Dead, since the local radio station did play them. Detroit.

[@stjames8888]

No idea there was a video for this, very nice and still so relevant!

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

sometimes I think all of music was created because one day this song would be wrote.

[@sammy-wi8pi]

This is why I will always dig the Dead.....Jerry , Pigpen and the boyZ will always be in my heart, mind and soul.....forever Once a deadhead always a deadhead :)

[@LSommer]

Fantastic work. The More Science High AV Department out did itself. Still supporting Progressive Martyrs High School's sports teams. But you just can't beat a More Science High party.

[@giannolarachel345]

'Ashes Ashes All Fall Down"

[@vajrayoga]

missed opportunity not having this song in the mix on this "final" dead & co tour. pretty fkn relevant I'd say. keep shaking those bones kids - the futures here - we are it - we are on our own!

[@vajrayoga]

3 SF shows left - DO IT!!!

[@ericnorteman5341]

So true. I cannot believe we are going down the road we are as humans.

[@TM-vq1bf]

This song is an experience

[@timothystone4331]

I can hear these lyrics a thousand times and every time it invokes a different feeling. Ultimately, it's up to us as a people to create our own changes and take care of our own. Happy election season everyone! Be well.

[@razziechkn]

Timothy Stone America always gets it right.. Even Obama 2X was America getting it right.. Mcain and Romney were pure shit and the last looser was the biggest of them all

[@kencoakley3959]

Bob Weir was a really good guitarist. Good lookin' dude as well. I remember when he came here to Boston with Bobby And The Midnights. A disc jockey on our local station at the time (WCOZ) mentioned the dates they were playing and said "That's right, girls. He's the cute one." It sounded like he was talking about a Beatle.

[@rafedanos3995]

Was?

[@Rastamari19]

Can't get this song outta' my head ..

[@davidlee-rd7dx]

Once a deadhead, always a deadhead.

[@slipnutt]

Jerry drew the barbed wire guy painted on the wall on a napkin and then it was painted on the wall.

[@maddi.12]

here bc steve-o said this is his fav song rn

[@jonathanf8662]

Great songwriting

[@matthewmaznitzin7753]

R.I.P. Phil Lesh ❤🕊

[@robharris8462]

We are here.....

[@loopy61660]

Very Prophetic Song I think........To say the least!!!!! Love & Peace Ron

[@rinomomorris5098]

Politicians still throwing stones.

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

Ditto - 2021

[@MysticMonkeyMiracle]

It seems Bobby started throwing stones too :(

[@christinejautee2308]

Merveilleux VERY GOOD.

[@vanni9283]

This video looks like a great history lesson!

[@ArtHistoryScholar]

i finally remembered to check out teh msuic video for this excellent song it's great! really good imagery and dissolves powerful ending too

[@kimmaddox3109]

Nothing but great!

[@renegade44040]

I'm here on the eve of the 2024 election This song is spot on.

[@allrise3056]

Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.

[@queenofcups5084]

Bobby's hilarious it's hard to take him serious 😂

[@jackstraw6880]

Kids don’t dance & shake their bones anymore. Scared young consumers…

[@TheSharipaula]

Got question marks swirling so any help...tx! I'm kind of a born again Deadhead at 53. I remember the Touch of Grey video, and I remember the uh-oh sense of niche unique cool going mainstream. It's hard to distinguish now since I've gotten on the bus, so to speak, in the last year. But I didn't remember any other Dead music videos. Did this play on MTV/VH1? If not, what was distribution?

[@nunyerbidness6417]

Portland here.... still relevant.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

I did not know that they did an actual video of this song! 🤯 Does that mean that they did a video of ALL the songs from _In The Dark?_ 🤔

[@tammylewis2408]

To my knowledge, they also did videos for Touch of Grey (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6vZnGOcjNl2qZI) and Hell in a Bucket (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2qlpGeunamsrtk) from In the Dark album.

[@dollydagger7502]

I also remember Weir flying in private jets to gigs.

[@thezombie7839]

This song struck me as really sad today. However, I really feel like it would be just as sad if Clinton would have won last night. We were screwed either way.

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

TheZombie thankfully Trumps in hot water now

[@theodoregarman5322]

Damn good song

[@dollydagger7502]

I remember when Lesh wore a BMW shirt in concerts in the 70s

[@estherobaze186]

Anyone from 2024?

[@gregoryvalente8461]

On my FB wall Election Day

[@foxystars1]

every election ever

[@Tom-wd5lb]

Fu** yeah Bob. I love that fox is playing Dead before commercial break.

[@russelllian7225]

I think this was the most political song that the band ever did. Anyway great song love dancing to it❤

[@cowboyfromhelI]

Easily

[@MichaelZola]

Dedication to all my peeps from all the nations 🌈

[@jameswright1059]

Once you reach that status the homeless and needy are not thr Grateful dead at their problems

[@brianhoffman3125]

One of my fav dead songs but can't help but wonder why this wasn't a mainstay on Mtv. "Hey guys, we'll all wear tan trench coats. Maybe we can get a deal with London Fog!"

[@em7dim9]

It was in rotation with Touch of Grey and Hell in a Bucket. I saw it quite a few times.

[@abathens]

A peaceful place, at least it looks from space....

[@johnnyrasputin4819]

It's where we are... 2023! 😱
