Duke Jupiter - I'll Drink To You 

Anyone that grew up in the Syracuse NY area know this song was huge.. I still think it is..

I owned a sound company in the SF Bay Area in the mid 80's. I was at some gig somewhere, and introduced myself to some guy as Eric Moon. The guy looks at me and says "yeah, right...and, I'm Duke Jupiter." I hadn't heard of the band. Thought it was funny though. Fast forward to 1987...I had sold my company, moved to the Finger Lakes to open a B&B. I tripped and fell into broadcasting along the way, and was on the air at 105.9 North Coast Radio in Rochester, NY. in 1992. I was interviewing a guitar player by the name of Greg Walker who had a band called the Powerglide Blues Band. W e got to talking about the old days...and he said, "yeah, I used to play in a band called Duke Jupiter." I damn near fell out of my chair! We've been friends ever since. And, I was fortunate enough to see 3 of the Duke reunions. Greg & Ricky are playing together again in a band they call "White Knuckle Ride". A tip of the hat to Duke Jupiter.

In June of 82 they held a free concert at Ontario Beach Park. They expected a couple thousand people... Over 25,000 showed up. Led to banning of concerts at the park for years. But it was a hell of a show. We had to abandon our car about a mile and a half or two miles away. We weren't the only ones. Worth it. They became legends that day.

I will never forget charlotte beach Rochester Ny early 80s. Duke Jupiter. Backseat sally. Buxx. 25,000 people 85 degrees. I guess they didn’t think that through. Hahaha rewrote the books. Pure chaos. Pure rock and roll. Walking down lake avenue with a cooler full of beer on my shoulder. No regrets best time of my life.

Back when music didn't suck.

These guys charted on MTV (back when MTV actually played music) but never broke nationwide. They never got the radio airplay and attention they so deserved.

this song was a tribute to their first bass player. He died from a brain tumor. His name was George Barajas.

2020 and this band still kicks ass!! Proud to say they're from my home town, Rochester, NY!!

was a a great time to live in Rochester then.. Blacksheep at the penny .. every thing was rock-n back then

Awesome band and the first time I heard this song was on my stereo as a kid in the late 80's/early 90's. I always listened to 96.5 WCMF back then and loved the rock n roll. Good times.

The Southern boogie band from upstate NY...they deserved a better chance.

RIP drummer David Corcoran who passed away June 21st, 2018

Charlotte Beach May 1982 50K came to see the free show by 96 WCMF what a show

It is impossible to listen to them and not appreciate the song writing and musical talent. Impossible. So many good songs.

What a great lineup of musicians from Rochester, NY; these guys, Black Sheep featuring Lou Gramm, the Mangione brothers, Don Porter and Bat McGrath, Steve Glad, Celtic Fire, Wild Geese, the Dady Brothers, William Warfield; the list goes on and on. I was fortunate enough to play with some of these folks. Proud to be from ROC.

What a great hard rockin' classic. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

David Corcoran R.I.P great drummer and singer! Awesome music.

I also was born and raise in Canandaigua and saw these guys in Rochester what a great band and an awesome time and miss Roseland Park

When I lived in Utica,NY WOUR played them a lot. Great music.

This song should have been heard by a wider audience. I never forgot it the few times I heard it on the radio.

Great song, great 80's band! 96 WCMF rocks Rochester, NY. and my hometown of Canandaigua!! Brings back some great memories. Long live Roseland Park.....

This song is so Rochester it’s amazing

Proud to be an upstate NY'er!!!!! Buffalo wings, Garbage plates, Dinosaur BBQ, spiedies and Duke Jupiter! Can't get any better than that! Love this song!!!!

This is the real time Rock n Roll. Locals also included Little Trolls.

many people in DETROIT still love duke jupitor.still a class act!

Good Rats and Duke Jupiter shows Roch NY

Still ❤️ Rochester NY

Laurie s..Im from rochester..I grew up with these guys..Hoo Rayyy

1982 long long time ago. when music was good

I met Marshall Styler, around Jan of 1971. My group was booked in Rochester for several weeks and Duke Jupiter was breaking up for the first time after a shot at it with a major label. Marshall was selling their Altec Voice Of Theate PA system . 4 1205 Cabs, 460 watts of power, AKG mics, Altec mixer. In short it was the best PA my band ever had. We all spent a couple of nights at the club and back at the motel drinking and telling stories about how record companies can screw up your life.

was living in ROCHESTER NEW YORK , CAUGHT THEM AT RED CREEK . GREAT TIMES !

The Fireside Tavern. Monroe Ave. Rochester N.Y. Every Wed. Night $2 Cover 75~76? Best Dam Rockin I Ever Did~ Thank You Duke Jupiter. !!

I'm from Rochester.saw them many many times around my and in ny city..these guys were so underrated.love these .would love to see them together again

I grew up in Rochester, NY and remember these guys from back in the day....I think they even gigged out at Red Creek a few times.....this was their best song IMHO...

They actually played an hour-long greatest hits assembly at my high school (Brighton) in the mid 80's! How that happened is a mystery but we loved them!!

I was there in 1979 when Marc Durham and Blue Steele worked with Duke Jupiter to further all their careers. You have never met a better group of friends. I am proud to just have known them! PEACE!!!!!

Saratoga NY, 1982. Thanks for the memories.

A great video by an underrated band.

I went to a free concert Charlotte beach Rochester ny, my hometown I was only 14 years old i went with my cousins to this legendary concert It was a great day and great music Crowds and crowds of people Wish i could do it all over again

Good job, thanks from a former Rochesterian.

I saw them a lot back in Rochester NY in the early 1980s, we all thought they were going to make it big

I hear that time is just a watch that you wind When you're down feelin' born to lose I know some people get burned every day Wonder how they make it through I think I know what you're tryin' to say Never seen you run from a fight We're gonna live again to see that day I believe everything is gonna be alright Gonna be alright - gonna be alright I've seen the river and I've seen the road Never looked back but I've always known Someday I'll see you again - I'll Drink To You I'll Drink To You! Don't you get sick & tired of feelin' like that Do you have to be unhappy to smile Well it's the same old line the same old story Time after time after time You got to dance dream laugh and cry Do anything that you like We're gonna live to sing that song again I believe everything is gonna be alright Gonna be alright - gonna be alright I've seen the river and I've seen the road Never looked back but I've always known Someday I'll see you again - I'll Drink To You I'll Drink To You!

Damn this takes me back to high school. What a great one

You did an excellent job. Thank you for sharing.

studio version entered Billboard March 27, 1982 ..reached #58

One of the best bands ever! Sure wish I coulda' seen them live.

loved these guys in the 80's!!!!! they were big in Albany too.

heard this a few times in 82, living outside of Chicago. bought the tape and loved it! unfortunately the sun god melted the tape one summer day. I was never able to find another tape, cd, etc. thank you very much for posting this song. brings back a lot of great memories.

Great job on the video and audio restoration. Thanks for your work.

I remember this one from early MTV. Great song!

Thx for posting this video. I used to love this song back in the 80s when this video got regular air play on MTV for a short period of time. I'm pretty sure I bought my first pair of white painter's pants because of this video. :o)

Lovin' it since 1982

Wow... haven't heard this in ages... Thank you!

One of my first favorite videos on MTV in the early 80s... Great rif.

Legendary Showmanship!

Thanks! Brings back goooooooooooooooood memories!

Great song!

Thanks for restoring this.

One of many hometown Rocker's happy to be a part of that time period Penny Arcade brought us so many bands

KILLER BAND!

I grew up in Syracuse and never knew these guys were from Rochester. "I'll drink to you" got play on 95X, but it was never mentioned where the band was from. Probably because they (the band) never took the 2 hour drive to Syracuse to play here, so the DJ's weren't going to promote them. I could be wrong, but i don't think they ever played a show here. Benny Mardones got all the publicity here.

The Penny Arcade days in Charlotte.

Used to hear this totally rocks Lived in Albany NY fav on the college stations..

A great band fun rocknroll from 70s wish i still had all their records

I only saw this video a few times way back when, but it has stuck with me all these years! A great tune!

I remember MTV playing this every night around 11:45 and I'd wait up for it. Great song !! Video made you feel like and wish you were there. I miss those times.

Living is where it's at ! Dieing is not ! RIP. Gino D . ...

still listening to the N.Y. BOYS.a fan from DETROIT.

awwwwwww, memory's of my early 80's and seeing them in oswego..

Gosh, such an epic anthem💪. Although not breakin' big, it's obvious they sure had their moments and loyal followers.👌

Simplemente geniales! Esto era talento puro y rock 'n roll.

I remember this video from back when. Saw it once, and that was the only time I ever heard this band's music. Guess they were a regional act who rarely came to my neck of America, as I never heard them on the radio.

Saw them in 1982 at Al's Warehouse Oswego, NY.

Thanks for the work. It was good to see this.

This is the good stuff right here, boys.

Saw them many times but one that stood out was when the original bass player got up and played a solo during one of their breaks. He was seriously good. I think it was at the Varsity Inn? He died soon afterwards. RIP Funky Turtle.

Heard them at MCC in the fall of '76. Great band !!

i remember i was introduced to these guys by a cover band called ,Love,Survival and Drive did this at abar called Scorpios in El paso

mari's old man.. damn near forgot this band..they rocked.

Duke Jupiter "I'll Drink To You" Duke Jupiter I Coast To Coast Records, 1982

Fuckin sweetest band from Nys!!! YEAH!!!

Man, What a finish!!!!!

A BIG thank you for your work. This version is excellent. The last version was grainy and had a couple skips. Again thank you

I wasn't aware these guys were from Rochester until i moved here. Sure wish I could have seen them play here.

Still gets me pumped!

good song

I love this!

NICE - they were a great live stage band

Thanks so much for posting this.

Not a big 80's fan but I do like this song.

I’ve never even heard of this band. Certainly jamming...

I believe I remember them opening for a band in the Carrier Dome in the 80s but it’s all kinda blurry lol. They were definitely another great upstate New York band. Saw them play in the Mohawk valley a couple times. Great song.

Thank you!

I MISS MTV 1981 - 1994 ?

Way underrated

I wish someone has photos and videos of them at Glass Onion in Rochester with Earl and George! Met the original band members there. This song was specifically written in honor of George!

ALRIGHT !

the drummer sounds like Bob Seeger.

Excelente trabajo.

Was this recorded at the war memorial auditorium? Large stage.. usually saw them in a bar. Last time I think I saw them was at the downtown festival tent behind Geva! Killer reunion show!
