    Transcendent, mystical, trippy, Mikaela's harp is like a sea of color washing over the tune. This band is awesome, seen them 3 times, never heard em do the Dew, this was a sweet treat, thanks Relix🌹✌.

      I just recently found out that Bonnie Dobson wrote this amazing song and wow. what a voice she had. Sill has.. I sadly had never heard of her . Mikaela and the boys here truly did it justice.❤

    Morning Dew has been one of my favorite songs for a long time, I've seen the Grateful Dead perform it many times , always great, but Mikaela's haunting voice and harp take it to a new level. A real plucking treat. Thanks Mikaela!

    Outstanding ! When I turned this one on there was a tremendous crack of thunder and a freak hail, snow and rain storm hit my neighborhood... and I live in So Cal. ..Snow on the lawns the rest of the day...So this is a darn good performance in my opinion...Completely awesome band... Hoping it's not disrespectful to say the Harp Girl Rocks

    It's actually a Rose Dobson song as I assume most of you know.. The Dead covered it as well. So did the Jeff Beck Group and Allman Bros. (Hourglass) among Beautiful version though.

    • @starfishsystems
      @starfishsystems 2 роки тому

      Well there's a Dead expression in the overall performance, no question. But the Grateful Dead certainly didn't have female lead vocalists, so there's that. Not much harp either. I think it's a very adept synthesis.

    Another treat from Mikaila Davis and her band.....covering Grateful Dead's "Morning Dew."
    Mikaila should consider getting some music instrument/sound engineering advice about how better to microphone her harp artistry which sometimes gets buried under other electronic instruments in her band.
    Ruth Underwood, playing under Frank Zappa band, had the same problem with her large, multioctave xylophone, which ultimately received a state of the art audio microphone system.

    This song was written by Canadian folk singer, Bonnie Dobson, and the Dead were not the first, or even second artist to record it. A guitarist/singer, Fred Neil reworked the lyrics some
    The British singer, Lulu recorded it in 1968. Nazareth did the more driving electric version in the early 70s
    A more recent version was recorded by Robert Plant, and Bonnie emerged from retirement to sing it with his group. ua-cam.com/video/zZXuuKwhVvI/v-deo.html
    In any event, crediting the Grateful Dead who adapted this song for the first "Human Be-In" in San Francisco gives them more credit for this song than is due.

  • @ronalbertoroccosan4418
    @ronalbertoroccosan4418 2 роки тому +1

    Starts out real nice, but the harp tends to clash with the guitar and the electronics of the band.. I'd like to hear an acoustic version of this.In certain sections the harp needs to be brought out more a clearer sound is needed. I think banjo would also be interesting to hear with the harp.
