I'm crying tears of joy. I never thought I would hear the Dead again. I love Dead & Company and JRAD but you guys, the "Grateful Shred" bring the feel of them, then, right into the room. I saw the Dead before I knew their name, not many people did in December of 1965 when they came on the stage at the old Fillmore in SF at a Mime Troupe benefit. I saw them play probably 60 times up to April 1969, sometimes in a crowd of only 50 or so people when they played at the Matrix, before I left the country for two and a half years and then again in the 70's all the time, a little less in the 80's and even fewer in the 90's. When Jerry died and the band came apart we all suffered, missing the glorious beauty of their music. This is what is rolling out of my speakers now as I listen to you young guys play so majestically, so delicately, with wonderful rhythm, as you capture the spirit that reigned at the Avalon and Fillmore 50 years ago. My heart is filled with joy and I hope to see you live soon somewhere.
@@weis1869 Thank you, WI. I was lucky to be there and, of course, to be able to "hear them". No one had heard anything like what they played then. Some people just rolled their eyes. I was knocked out that night and went on a ride I'm still on 50 plus years later. But I didn't go on a walk with Jesus, though it's a sweet thought. BE well and enjoy.
Facts G, Never got to see The Dead in full swing so I get my fix through these guys and Electric Waste Band, and all the others. But I heard The Wheel in the hood in Chicago. Once I HEARD eyes the first time something just clicked and I saw the world through an entirely different perspective G. Hearing Grateful Shred brings back those memories, those feelings they changed my life G Went from a Gangster Disciple to a Grateful Dead Head . First thing I hear when I take my black ass to Furthur Fest is Welcome Home. Man they weren't lying G. man this whole scene is awesome You are Lucky to have seen them... Tell me that last show for Dead and Company in San Fran Didn't give you chills when that skeleton tipped that hat. Peace and Blessings
Seen a bunch of bands trying to do this...incuding Dead and co. These guys are somehow grinding out the real deal. You guys keep at it man....To the moon!!!
Great to find a DEAD cover band playing in Baton Rouge tonight!!! More familiar with Cubensis and JRAD... so caught a few of Grateful Shred's videos this morning, looks like I'll be putting some mileage on my dancing shoes this evening!!!
Look I like these guys a lot, but I don’t think you are being objective in saying they put the reunion bands to shame. Mayer and jeff are having some serious musical conversations going on here. We don’t have to put down one band to praise the other. Can you really, with an open hear,t, open mind and and open ears, listen to the link I posted and think they put them “to shame”? I just don’t see that, or hear it. ua-cam.com/video/U2LBlIFigis/v-deo.html
Sorry, thought that was the pro shot sbd and vid, but it was a crowd shot version. Go to the 1 hour 21 minute mark to see what I’m talking about. Jeff alone is worth the watch. Check the mr Charlie while you are there. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts. ua-cam.com/video/wPwXSvORD-Q/v-deo.html
Been listening to the Dead for 30 years. These guys are improving, progressing and beat John Mayer. Mayer is good but can't function on Jerry tempo or listening to the other members in knowing when it's his turn. These guys know how to listen to each other.
I think you should give mayer more credit :p I think Mayer chooses not to play like Jerry, but rather creates his own interpretation of the songs and licks. Doing it in an amazing way!! Apart from that, these guys are totally acing it!! wonderful version of Eyes...

Robert Sanoff your musical and cultural fortune is so sweet, I can almost believe you went on walks with Jesus up in the hills 🌾🌻🌹

This is awesome. Sounds like ‘74 - ‘76. Maybe a little faster tempo. Excellent. Just excellent.

Impressive group of musicians. Love to see you guys play a show in Oklahoma.

These guys rock!! Especially the left handed guitarist!

Really looking forward to the double header up here in Toronto this summer (July 20/21).
fockin a! these guys shred! the trip strat crushes!
My shop is about 5blocks from this place and I missed this. Fuck.
OK, Left handed guitarist playing a right handed guitar upside down and sounding good. Not an easy thing to pull off.
A true Squire of sound ... amazing gift.
Pretty cool Pretty neat
he sounds better then the rest of them haha
He probably uses similar fingerings as Jeff Healy with the over-hand technique, upside down.
😁☘🇺🇸 come to Boston!
That organ!!!
Gots the groove boyz!!!
Digging this...thnx
forever...
Tone Masters!
Keeping the Dead going - sweetness

Oil Artworks I could not agree more! These guys should keep playing and improving. I love their well produced vids too!
JRAD is the best, but these guys are also excellent.
I love the attention to detail vocally as well as the great jam
I think you should give mayer more credit :p I think Mayer chooses not to play like Jerry, but rather creates his own interpretation of the songs and licks. Doing it in an amazing way!! Apart from that, these guys are totally acing it!! wonderful version of Eyes...
Eyes
I have a desire to eat shrooms and guzzle beer.🤯
They just released the 2022 Tour dates… Can do, Can do!
