I was once, in the day, too cool to like this song. Now it's a favorite.

I was at this show (which is why its so awesome to have on DVD). I was on Jerry's side about 20 rows back and when Phil and Jerry locked in, it was rolling thunder - just an unbelievable primal sound that melted your face, caved in your chest and made you see God. I miss the Dead...

89 was a special year for the boys. They were on fire

Been seeing them since the earliest 70s love utube and what they built for us, I'm 65 and still have to watch several hours a day When I'm losing it they always pull me back 😎

I was 8 years old when Jerry died, never had the chance to see him. Thank christ for u tube!

"Don't save your breath, to waste your face..." ha, awesome.

I grew up saying i hated the dead. What an idiot. I think i have finally found something(one) built to last . I love these words. Truly a legendary family.

No other band could give me the joy/bliss/ love/ tears like The Grateful Dead still does.

Built to last indeed! This music will be heard for generations to come. Jerry is smiling down on every show!

My favorite Grateful Dead song

Have had most of the albums since forever, but this came out when I was relocating out of the bay area and never caught up to it until recently. Love almost every tune, especially here where Jerry blows almost all the lyrics of the second half. "Don't save your breath to waste your face." Classic.

Absolutely one of my favorite Jerry songs, just love the lyrics. This is one song I don't remember if I ever saw live, hope I did! Always regret not keeping all my ticket stubs. I was so young and having the time of my life, didn't realize how lucky I was to be part of this at the time.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the Grateful Dead at the Omni in Atlanta on 3/27/89 as a high school senior. Built to Last followed Half Step and Walk-in’ Blues. By that time I was hooked and a lifelong fan of the Dead. Late 80’ and early 90’s with Jerry and Brent I consider to be the standard.

Omg. All time favorite. Still brings tears. Thank u Jerry.

Love jerry he said "don't save your breath to waste your face" love it

I love the comments just as much as this video, so much great energy and storys, thanks for sharing

Jerry was in great form here. you can tell he was chomping at the bit to play. they sound incredible.

I miss Jerry so Much 8-(

There are times that you can beckon There are times when you must call You can shake a ton of reckoning But you can't shake it all There are times when I can help you out And times that you must fall There are times when you must live in doubt And I can't help at all Three blue stars / Rise on the hill Say no more, now / Just be still All these trials / Soon be past Look for something / Built to last Wind held by the collar Got a cloud held by the breeze You can walk on coals of fire But sometimes you must freeze There are times when you offend me And I do the same to you If we can't or won't forget it, then I guess we could be through One blue star / Sets on the hill Call it back / You never will One more star / Sinks in the past Show me something / Built to last. Built to last till time itself Falls tumbling from the wall Built to last till sunshine fails And darkness moves on all Built to last while years roll past Like cloudscapes in the sky Show me something built to last Or something built to try There are times when you get hit upon Try hard but you cannot give Other times you'd gladly part With what you need to live Don't waste the breath to save your face When you have done your best And even more is asked of you Let fate decide the rest. All the stars / Are gone but one Morning breaks / Here comes the sun Cross the sky now / Sinking fast Show me something / Built to last

👍👍new dead fan I am 👍👍😊

With Brent on keyboards,like his phrasing. What a loss still,Jerry,Brent and all the others Icons all those who played in this'family' and this is a great tune:love the Dead.

I love em all but this one speaks to me on a different level!

Someone in 2019 shows me something built to last. Sadly thirty years have passed.

The Dead are my medicine ❤️‍🩹

Don't save your breath to waste your face ♥️⚡💙 Miss YOU JERRY ♥️

My Favorite band of allllll time...… you should have seen how awesome the concerts were. Micky Hart and Phish were great too. Planet Drum. I was tripping my face off...………........ at all of them......

I was a big fan of the dead met jerry out in frisco and shared a dube with him in Palo Alto backstage at the Keystone, when he was there to play with the jerry garcia band, I shared the same stage a week earlier.

This song is electric. Everything is so lively and on point. I really love the vocals and the tight, strong guitar play. I've had this show on VHS going back years, used to crank up the TV on the stereo speakers and annoy the shit out of the neighbors blasting it all day long over the summers. Such a great song!

Wow, needed this right now🌹💀⚡🌠Thank you for the upload

All the stars are gone but one/ morning breaks here comes the sun/ through the sky now sinking fast/ show me something built to last/ three blue stars rise on the hill/ say no me now just be still/ all these trials now soon be past/ show me something built to last Amazing song as the years have past, some of these late career songs of Hunter/Garcia grow ever more potent in my understanding- wisdom of the long years, and poignant beauty

Great job on the lyrics Jer! That's what makes this band the best

This band brought me so much joy. It makes me smile just to see this. Play on Jerry, wherever you are.

He looked so healthy and into being there. U can hear in his first solo. Not missing a note and smiling. Miss u Jerry and Brent.

Call me simple minded, but I love to come across a live version that has a similar guitar solo as on the studio version. ✌

Awesome. God I love this band. Brent is amazing. Jerry is amazing. They're all effin' amazing.

brent brings a flare to the band that nobody else could replace

all the stars are gone but one morning breaks, here comes the son ~~~~~~chills/vibes.... love this

A great song done so much better than on the studio album.Oh Jerry that solo❤

I agree with "theSW1111" without the dead, I don't know where I'd be today... and probably wouldn't want to know. The Dead, and nowadays, GD tribute bands have changed so many people's lives... it's just incredible to enjoy and feel the love from all the people around you. Thanks to them, a lot of us are on a better path than we were, and I for one am eternally grateful :D Rock on fams!

After years of not listening to The Grateful Dead, I must say, this was the best song I could choose for their music to beat through the ol' set of speakers.

I used to think the Brent days were the best sounding. Now recently I just realized it's all quality and I'm thankful to have anything at all. God Bless

My 2nd stint at APV it kicked off 5 yrs on tour as much as possible. Coast to coast baby. Jerry I miss ya.

Wow beautiful --all the stars are gone but ONE -- morning breaks here comes the sun -- RIP Jerome!

Best Grateful Dead song, best recording.

All the stars are gone and morning breaks, here comes the sun, over and over and over.................Show me something built to last.....Killer lyrics.

Sometimes the mess up on lyrics are not intended but when it comes out its still profound wisdom.

Jerry rips this one, passion, beauty, unmatched talent all wrapped tightly! I love you Jerry!!!!

this song makes me cry. awesome version, phil and jerry are so on point.

this will last..........not fade away.......

Remember swaying my head, eyes closed at the show at MSG! Great times!

One of the best ...have the promo poster to this .... all looking at a San Francisco 'house' made / built to last ...with a pack of cards....effing classic .... carda of life ..oh yes ..of cours it hangs in my bedroom , and has indeed lasted ...ha ha h ...yeah ...😊😊😊😂....

Brillant! Post Code Modulation, Kurzwiel, Ensoniq, 48k sampling, Midi, touch sensitivity, Roland, Korg, Oberhiem. None of these were available until last week. I dident remember the shit. You are so intelligent. Run for president. You rival the most brillant minds. I am intimidated by your intellect.

Awesome footage dude.. thanks alot! Miss you Jerry.. :(

Brent touched so many of us, It's not even a Brent tune but there are multiple comments about Brent. I listen to this album alot and with my 3 year old daughter , I will take you home, means so much, but as a 17 year old punk I always skipped it...but I get it...love..true love. Brent always felt like the outsider, but man he was always loved.

Nobody left to run with anymore !!!

2 blue stars set on the hill , only us that have lived in Frisco know the "Hill", miss SF and the Haight..good times great people that is untill Popa bear left us then the Haight fell into the hands of the frickn yuppies...grrr..all well, still fun to cruise the park and smoke and make love on the hill......:)

There are times when you must beckon, There are times when you must fall. You can take a lot of wrecking, But you can't take it all. There are times when i can help you out, And times when you must fall. There are times when you must live in doubt, And i can't help at all. Two blue stars, shine o'er the hill. Plead no more, now just be still. Through the night, now safely there. Show me something built to last. Been held by the fire, Yes and i'm, held by the ring. You can walk on balls of fire, But sometimes you might bleed. There are times when i have begged you And you do the same to me. If you can't or won't admit it, At least we pulled you through. Three blue stars, set o'er the hill. Call them back; you never will. All these trials, soon be dead. We all need something built to last. Built to last 'till time of seven, Falls tumbling from the sky. Built to last 'till lightness fades, And darkness falls on all. Built to last 'till years roll back Our couch perched in the sky Show me something different, Or something built to try. There are times when you get hit up on, Try hard but you cannot give. Other times, you'd gladly go With what you need to give. Don't be afraid to save your face, When you have done your best Now i won't forget, Next day try the rest. All the stars, are gone but one. Morning dreams, we found the sun. Show me something built to last Two blue stones, shine o'er the hill. Call it back; you never will All these trials, now are dead. Show me something built to last. All the stars, are gone but one. Morning dreams. here comes the sun. Through the night, now sinking fast. Show me something built to last.

Reminds me of my Lilee Cat i just put to rest. I miss you girl more than you'll EVER know! XOXO

I love Jerry and I love the dead. Their music was built to last and undoubtedly it will. I see young kids today wearing Grateful Dead clothing all the time (granted, I do live in Humboldt county). I think the fact that kids still stumble on to the Dead and they enjoy their music (and what they stand for) is great. The Grateful Dead will go down in history right along side The Beatles as the greatest bands formed during the hippie revolution era. Both these bands have had lasting impacts on both, music and culture, I believe they always will. When the children of the future look back at the 1960's and 70's with a sense of wonder, they will be looking at the Grateful Dead skull with lightning and The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour or Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album (when they watch the "I am the Walrus" video, they will know LSD played a major role, but surely they won't truly fathom this role). Their music will go on forever as a textbook example of "hippie music", their music will last, until some far-in-the-future, new age communist/socilalist fascists start burning textbooks that is.

this song got me through an acid trip, good o'l dead :)

Pearl Jam girl, glad you like the sound I understand by your screen name you got good taste, eddie may have the best voice of todays touring acts.... and he's usualy drunk on homemade wine. The Dead to me are the greatest band to come out of the last few generations..ok back to perry lane in the mid 60's

Makes me want to get up and march with OLD GLORY on my shoulder

Love this song...amazing

this is such a perfect jerry song. a reflective tune about jerry's trials and tribulations. this tune is a lot of fun!

Ok, ok, ok. Homage to Pigpen, etc... but Brent was awesome. I'm shocked anyone who calls themselves a DH or even a casual fan would have anything bad to say about Brent. It's like The Allman Brothers and Michael McDonald had a kid. The Dead weren't just a band, they were an experience; every band member that changed out added something different and shaped the experience. Just go with it, guys!

i love ‘built to last’ just like the grateful dead; everyday I’m grateful for GD online, one of my favourite things and giving the music to us when their done with it suits me just fine, thank you

Miss Jerry,been listening to this all day. I was at this show.

"don't save your breath to waste your face"...... the little slips are what makes it even sweeter! Miss you all , and see ya in Vegas! What a nice video thanks for sharing!

wow look at that crowd,awesome...

Thanks Mindful Jon!!!

"Don't save your breathe to waste your face" ???? I love the way Jerry changes the lyrics to this song and others. And I have to whole heartily agree: Brent's version of Mr. Fantasy is incredible. As in AWSOME!!

the years have made this song more poignant, when i was young this wasn't even on a list of top 20 dead songs for me.... nostalgia gives this song weight

We are all built to last. Some last longer than others.

For Sure!

these were the times of my life..and so many others..oxox

I lovethis song when I bre my back and landed on tour in 90 life it save my soul forever thanks

miss ya brent ............ not fade away

I love Built to Last and the Brent Mydland years in general!! Alot of deadheads didnt like albums like "in the dark".

#💪 all day #🎸

My favorite Dead song of all time, I never get tired of hearing it, Along with Ripple they almost speak of a fable/ the way life is, an oultook description

Built to last while years roll past, like cloudscapes in the sky...

love this song...

i agree redd....brent had moe soul than any keyboardist the dead ever had....no disrespect to the other kbs, but brent just had something that touched the soul to the deepest of extents and for that my hat will forever be tipped to brent and every member of the grateful dead for creating the most organic, beautiful experiences that we will remember until the day we die. All of the love in the world to those amazing humans who touched so many of our lives R.I.P Brent, jerry, and ALL other passed.

What a great song !

i love this song

There are times when I can help you out, there are times when you must fall....and everyone does at some point........Go Jerry!

Forever
