Who would thought two years later John Mayer would be practicing this very same song to play with Dead and Company! The Universe sure is Neat.. Ain't She?
+WE'VE GOT IT SIMPLE Do you have it simple because you have a band? Do you have saxophones in the band? What, is , a band, without saxophones? Saxophones are grand!
+WE'VE GOT IT SIMPLE John is a smart dude... this is his audition tape. Well played by a talented man who should be recognized as more than a pop artist.
You gotta love this guy. His talent is unquestionable and could have covered a ton of songs. Recently,he told the story how he discovered the Dead while recovering from a voice issue…about 3 years ago. Mayer saw in the music 3 years ago what we have seen 50 years ago….Better late than never! A great cover of a beautiful song…Jerry would be happy.
I'm also of the opinion that Mayer kills this song. I'm guessing most of the people ripping him are either trolls or didn't take the time to listen to the song. Excellent cover in my opinion and I freakin' love the dead!! Keep tearing it up Johnny boy I lover to hear mainstream musicians giving some props to the dead, as long as they can do them justice.
This comment aged like the finest wine. Mayer has given us 290 plus shows over 8 years of amazingness. He did Jerry proud. For someone who only caught the end of GD, this was amazing. And the fields are full of dancin' Full of singin' and romancin' The music never stopped -Bob Weir
I had to tell hundreds of people that night that this was a Grateful Dead cover, then about twenty dead heads went way to the top and had a fucking epic Althea dance party... just to fuck with people we were telling people it was a Backstreet Boys cover, about 85% believed us
I'm a former John Mayer fan gone Grateful Dead (then later Phish) fan. I also play guitar in a band and let me just say that as someone who lost about all respect for John Mayer 10 years ago +/-.. basically after the trio.. He does this song justice, it's not an easy song to play and he rips it up. Great chops, stayed true to the song, great guitar tone, Jerry would respect it so don't be douchebags.
His music spoke to me at one point in my life and as his career path changed, so did my musical taste. I also frowned on his shenanigans in the press being a heart breaker and condoning drug use. Not that I frown on dopers, but I frown on people who publicly speak out about it when your someone with the celebrity status and reach that he has (if people wanna do recreational chemistry, do it on your terms. Not because you saw someone famous condoning it). Watch recent interviews, he even comments on how that article was a mistake and he regrets it. I had watched all these interviews about how he loved the blues, but he retired that part of his life after he stopped selling out arenas with the trio and realized his blues material didn't sell like the rest of his work. Be that as it may, I would say he turned me on to the influences I have now and I'm thankful for that, but his music no longer speaks to me. In reference to your shot at my influences that I mentioned in my comment, I think trey anastasio is twice the guitarist John Mayer is and I think John is a god damn great guitarist.. if you think my influences that I mentioned have done the same thing "for an eternity," do some research. You don't have to be a fan to respect musicianship. Trey performs with philharmonic orchestras and has orchestrated performances from a compositional point of view. Not to mention the 30 year career phish has and they're going just as strong. Phish constantly has changed, ask any of their fans- that's what half of them bitch about.. Them not playing like they use to because they're constantly changing from album to album and tour to your. I don't need to stick up for phish, I'm not that type of Phan because their ticket sales speak for themselves but to label them as the same old dog with old tricks is naive. Ps: John Mayer will be playing with mike Gordon of phish and Phil Lesh from the dead this summer/fall. Old dog old tricks.
Jordan Evans Fair enough. I actually was the opposite. I really despised John Mayer because I just saw his pop image. Then I heard the blues trio and totally changed my tune. I really like how he's diversified. I've even gone back to his early stuff and can actually appreciate it. His off-stage antics are sort of whatever to me. I can't say I wouldn't have an inflated ego after attaining what he has.
Thanks for supporting my music 🎶 I’m so grateful 🥰 and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s okay by you.💜💜💜💜
Not that it's necessary to compare John Mayer and Trey... but, for what it's worth, note that JM finger picks the song, where Trey uses the traditional plectrum. This is why his version sounds more authentic... because it's simply more faithful to Jerry's original approach. Also, Mayer's bluesy voice is perfect for this kind of song... much stronger and more confident than Trey's. JM also does a wonderful job of bringing out what's special about the changes in his solos. He really takes it up a level at 5'26"... in a way that I'm pretty sure Jerry would've loved. Jerry was all about that (e.g., Morning Dew)... bringing on the passion, full bore! The only reason I'm making any comparison at all is... we should probably expect Dead & Company to sound pretty damn good... even better than Fare Thee Well did. Phil won't be there, but Oteil Burbridge is a fantastic bassist and should kill it. If you don't know him, look him up. Some of us, undoubtedly, will avoid the project, because it isn't "core four". Actually, though, it may turn out to be some of the best presentation of the material we've heard in a long time. We won't ever have Jerry back, so we might as well celebrate the best renderings of the songs. My only concern, if you could call it that, is that Mayer may have funky motives. I believe that he's a fan of the material. When he told that story about hearing Althea for the first time, I could totally see that... because that riff is extremely appealing to a guy like that who cut his teeth on finger picked blues. As a musician, I know how that goes... you hear that riff and you're like, "Goddamn... I never thought anything of this band but, you know what? I gotta go grab my guitar right now"... and then you immediately learn it... and, from there, you begin to fall in love. That's the beauty of music. However... I'm just suspicious that he might be trying to tap into the GD fan base. When guys' careers are slowing, they might want to look for an audience that will stick with them forever... that kind of audience Dave Matthews and Phish have, and not the John Mayer pop audience. Bottom line... he's not the kind of musician that Deadheads normally embrace. We'll see what happens. But the music should be great, so I'll be out there, supporting it.
+badself I don't know if you ever heard or saw the band Furthur, but I'd be surprised if Dead and Co. can live up to what that band did. All this Fare thee Well nonsense and the publicity that ensued will give this project a big boost, no doubt. John Mayer brings a known name to the roster, bound to help sales, but is controversial in his being chosen. John Kadlecik has dedicated himself to playing the music of the Grateful Dead and plays/sings in a way I prefer over John Mayer or Trey. And I don't care how good Oteil is, you can't replace Phil. Phil decided to hang up touring, as is well documented, and I respect him for that (sort of), but Dead and Co. does to excite me all that much.
+TheTestingGrounds I've seen Furthur 13 times and Dead & Co only twice. I love Phil and Kadelecik, but Phil's singing is horrific and Mayer outplays Kadelecik every time. The energy is amazing at these shows. I used to hate Mayer, and his voice is way different than Jerry's, but he's cleaner and he's a perfectionist. Give them another shot this tour. You won't be disappointed :)
6 years later from this comment and you can really really see how much JM has grown into the scene. at the time you wrote this i was still skeptical but i have been a JM fan for years now. john has grown into a peoples musician really similar in the way jerry was a peoples musician as well, with their own nuances of course. i believe john is a fan of the material and his passion shines bright. the pace is picked up a fair bit in this 2021 tour and you are right, this has turned into the best iteration in so many years.
The guys a great guitarist, has a great voice, has written some great songs. I think it's just taken him a while to find himself as a musician. Can't fault a guy for that. Excited to see what the future holds for him.
Since when are Dead Heads haters? You negative people are just as douchey as you say Mayer is. He's getting into the Dead in a serious way and playing lots of their songs live and probably turning his fans onto these great tunes. There's nothing worse that judgmental Dead Heads. his music doesn't really speak to me, but he is a very good guitar player.
I was using my poin n' shoot. I had to zoom in a good bit. I was sitting in VIP bout row 25 center. I wasn't too happy with how my stills and video turned out so I ended up getting a much nicer camera so I'm stoked to shoot more stills and video!
Thanks for supporting my music 🎶 I’m so grateful 🥰 and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s okay by you.💜💜💜💜
i just gained alot of respect for this guy he tore Althea a new one ! and all you purest weenies can just eat crow ...he killed it ! As far as lyrics go and arrangement go ...really your gonna bitch?? It was a "bit" and Bobby still does it (forgetting words and random verse omission s and the like. C'mon man the Grateful dead were the masters of that stuff ! I say kudos to Mr Mayer 1 for tearing up an Althea and two for using his big boy voice to sing it !!!
Just read through all of your comments and need to say, sure, he *could* have done the bridge and last verse. That said, he's been fitting this into his sets a lot this tour and if you honestly think the way he played doesn't 'hit it', then I'd have to say I'm not sure if you 'get it'. And no, I'm not even a John Mayer 'fan' per-say. I somehow stumbled onto this. Last thing, this has MUCH more soul than anything Phil/Bobby is doing w/ Furthur.
Not odd at all. One thing learned listening to the dead was their way of reinterpretation including improvisation for the multitude of songs in their repertoire - including covers. Jerry didn't sing all the verses to plenty of Dylan songs. I'm sure plenty of Dylan fans were perturbed. Why fall into the trap again catbox? The dead taught that some things just weren't critical at all times, including them remembering the lyrics.
When you cover a song you are supposed to change it to fit your style and show that you are a real musician and have the ability to do that. I have grown up listening to the Dead and John Mayer did a great job with this song by adding the blues to it because he is a blues guitarist.
Why all the Mayer hate? Nice version- Love Jerry's versions of the song, but that means no one else can do it? It always occurred that Jerry had a wider range of taste than a lot of his fans. Expanding your musical horizons doesn't mean throwing in a New Riders cut once in a while! Sheesh
That guy is very professional and owns undisputed technical capabilities, however I miss the "acid" here that I can only feel in Jerry and very few other covers
Thanks for supporting my music 🎶 I’m so grateful 🥰 and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s okay by you.💜💜💜💜
the drummer butchered that final guitar solo with his incessant cymbals. u could hear parts of a really cool song in those rare moments he stopped pounding that hi hat.
Why would you give up when you play music in front of thousands every night and have sold millions of records and become a millionaire while doing what you enjoy? Haha. That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Do me a favor let me know where it is that he plays to thousands of people every night and what album of his has sold millions? He has nothing but an ego. But if you dig his music that is all that matters.
His Continuum record sold over 2 million and all his albums have sold over 20 million combined. And I know for a fact he sold out Wembley Arena in London (12,500), and he's sold out red rocks twice this year. It's alright my man, you're wrong. Post some videos of you, I'd love to see how bad of a player you are.
Alex Bieger actually he plays QOC in a capo acoustic then switched to the strat, Althea and QOC must’ve been in the same key that’s why i sounded “seamless” you don’t have to have your guitar capo up

Not many contemporary bands/artists have the balls to cover the Dead and I think John Mayer's done a wonderful job.
Nashbandi
Now look at him
Let me tell you he’s done an outstanding job and I’ve been listening to the dead since 1970
Little did we all know..
The Deadicated tribute CD comp from back in the 90s has some good covers. Especially Jane's Addiction's Ripple.
Who would thought two years later John Mayer would be practicing this very same song to play with Dead and Company!
The Universe sure is Neat.. Ain't She?
+WE'VE GOT IT SIMPLE Sometimes, but not in regards to the way you allude to here.
+WE'VE GOT IT SIMPLE Do you have it simple because you have a band? Do you have saxophones in the band? What, is , a band, without saxophones? Saxophones are grand!
+WE'VE GOT IT SIMPLE John is a smart dude... this is his audition tape. Well played by a talented man who should be recognized as more than a pop artist.
+Brandon Meservey Preach, brother.
Christian dude check out that simple from northerly island a couple weeks ago, killer
Shades of the TRIO! era... This is the Mayer I love... shredding.
so glad he got on board with the dead covers, jam music rocks, end of story
Sounds fantastic. Also the drums sound is great. Totally rocking that. Jerry would be proud
You gotta love this guy. His talent is unquestionable and could have covered a ton of songs. Recently,he told the story how he discovered the Dead while recovering from a voice issue…about 3 years ago. Mayer saw in the music 3 years ago what we have seen 50 years ago….Better late than never! A great cover of a beautiful song…Jerry would be happy.
I love Jordan Evans review below…honest and to the point. Thx Jordan. Jack
These pre Dead and Co. comments make me smile so much. What a long strange trip it has been.
John has some serious chops. Don't understand the haters? Love that he is covering a Jerry Tune in the first place!
I'm also of the opinion that Mayer kills this song. I'm guessing most of the people ripping him are either trolls or didn't take the time to listen to the song. Excellent cover in my opinion and I freakin' love the dead!! Keep tearing it up Johnny boy I lover to hear mainstream musicians giving some props to the dead, as long as they can do them justice.

And the fields are full of dancin'
Full of singin' and romancin'
The music never stopped
-Bob Weir
im a deadhead and this is a nice version.
Way to go, John. Sounds like Scarlet/Fire into Althea. You rule!!!
yeah definitely heard the Scarlet jam as they went into Althea
I think that was the outro of 'Queen of California'
I love the dead and this is a solid cover, never listened to John Mayer before but he can definitely play guitar.
I had to tell hundreds of people that night that this was a Grateful Dead cover, then about twenty dead heads went way to the top and had a fucking epic Althea dance party... just to fuck with people we were telling people it was a Backstreet Boys cover, about 85% believed us
This was JM's first fuckin' "phone call" to Bob Weir. Sweet!!
...back when boy Johnny caught the Jerry bug. Ain't it sweet?! Making lots of people smile, John, and even stealing a few faces. Keep growing.
I'm a former John Mayer fan gone Grateful Dead (then later Phish) fan.

well said Jordan
Jordan Evans im with ya there bud
Jordan Evans Care to elaborate on why you lost respect for him? Because he didn't pick one formula and abuse it for eternity?
His music spoke to me at one point in my life and as his career path changed, so did my musical taste. I also frowned on his shenanigans in the press being a heart breaker and condoning drug use.

Wow! New respect for John and band. Well Done from a true Deadhead!
and look what it became. 8 years of amazingness. Dead and Co
Nice capture! Great rendition

There have been pretty fiery versions of Althea...check 7/19/90 on archive.org Incredible.
WTF, mayer is doing, Garcia, Hendric and Clapton , with a touch of neil young, all at the same time.
With overtones of SRV.
Brilliant guitarist.
Yes, He !S Moore than Good ; -})
Love it.

GREAT VID! Thanks for recording
The guy saying "YA" at 5:50 is my favourite part
wow this is great
Yep I was stage right in VIP. I wish I had a better camera with longer zoom but I'm still thankful for this jam. What a great 2 night run!
has a Scarlet mini-tease to begin as well... nice work Mayer....
so very nice

This is a cover, people, it's not supposed to be like the Dead's version.
And he nailed it :DD
This guy is unbelievable, years later he’s playing with dead and co.
he also just bought 3 Alembic guitars and is in the process of getting a 4th made.
That drummer was playing his ass off as was JM.
Mike Mccoy Aaron Sterling is an amazing drummer
Mayer told Rolling Stone that he's been listening to nothing but Dead boots since he had surgery a couple years back. Good for him.
Nice work, man.
im digging this hard
This shit SLAMS!! Nice
i just gained alot of respect for this guy he tore Althea a new one ! and all you purest weenies can just eat crow ...he killed it ! As far as lyrics go and arrangement go ...really your gonna bitch?? It was a "bit" and Bobby still does it (forgetting words and random verse omission s and the like. C'mon man the Grateful dead were the masters of that stuff ! I say kudos to Mr Mayer 1 for tearing up an Althea and two for using his big boy voice to sing it !!!
Sounds like a little Scarlet there in the beginning.
please tell me there were tapers there ... i need a copy of this
Not an easy cover to pull off,really! They have t
he tones nailed.. Good flow to a very Grateful original...
I can't wait till Vegas. Then I cant wait for SF!
Just read through all of your comments and need to say, sure, he *could* have done the bridge and last verse.

Jerry didn't sing all the verses to plenty of Dylan songs. I'm sure plenty of Dylan fans were perturbed. Why fall into the trap again catbox? The dead taught that some things just weren't critical at all times, including them remembering the lyrics.
he's one in VERY few!!
what was the song he was coming out of?
this is a total gobsmack. I had no idea he was into this.
what color is that strat at 0:58
When you cover a song you are supposed to change it to fit your style and show that you are a real musician and have the ability to do that. I have grown up listening to the Dead and John Mayer did a great job with this song by adding the blues to it because he is a blues guitarist.
Would this be the first ever recording of John playing a Dead song?
No he played GDTRFB earlier that year. Althea was just a tease at the end of WOTWTC.
What camera did you use? What row were you? I'm going to Bruno Mars Monday
When did John write this?? Just kidding, if you want to go to church look for althea rockplast 1980. Cool tribute though
cool
Why all the Mayer hate? Nice version- Love Jerry's versions of the song, but that means no one else can do it? It always occurred that Jerry had a wider range of taste than a lot of his fans. Expanding your musical horizons doesn't mean throwing in a New Riders cut once in a while! Sheesh
Solid fo sho
That guy is very professional and owns undisputed technical capabilities, however I miss the "acid" here that I can only feel in Jerry and very few other covers
go Johnny go
Foreshadowing
althea!!!
Nice version..just deal with that terrible head scarf
He's a bit of an arse as a celebrity but the boy can play .
sounds better than dead and company for sure..........................
that's the drummer who should play for dead and co., and mayer should use a strat with a fender twin deluxe reverb...
Look at John now, funny how the universe works ain’t it lol

agreed less cymbals would be better. good cover though.

Ernst Krag Its really just the recording, I bet it sounded great live..
Source? misinformation is bad information.
Not bad at all.
i guess we will just have to see how dead and co does. dude plays ok but i cant get behind his voice. saw this in 94. see you in L.A.
Besides, he just spews blues cliches all over the whole thing, that is not how it is meant to be played. It is a melodic solo, not a blues jam.
The greedy invoice historically point because bestseller impressively melt apud a ossified delivery. high-pitched, reflective agenda
too much cymbals
This cat has not even a littlbit of talent. The only thing he has is a giant ego and no skills to match the ego. Give it up bro
Why would you give up when you play music in front of thousands every night and have sold millions of records and become a millionaire while doing what you enjoy? Haha. That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Post some videos of you, I'd love to see how bad of a player you are.
I guess i shoulda made it simple i don't consider this shit music that is all i meant
coyote023 That's interesting. If this doesn't count as music, what does?
Did this start out as Queen of California? Love that song.
+UglyToontown Yes - that is definitely the end of Queen of California which is a great song with a very jammable outtro.
yeah, which is impressive because QOC uses a capo.. but it made for a fuckin seamless transition
Alex Bieger actually he plays QOC in a capo acoustic then switched to the strat, Althea and QOC must’ve been in the same key that’s why i sounded “seamless” you don’t have to have your guitar capo up
