The Dead Covers Project
What a wonderful month it's been, sharing our love of the Grateful Dead through song and video! We applaud all the hard work and effort that you, the fans, put into the DEAD COVERS PROJECT, and we hope you'll continue to watch and support all the amazing participant videos on YouTube until we fire up the DEAD COVERS PROJECT again next February.
Throughout the month of April, we'll be shining our lovelight on a handful of artists that really made the grade. You'll get to know each of these five artists and find out just what made them connect with the Dead in our exclusive DEAD COVERS PROJECT profiles, but for now we'd simply like to congratulate the following participants (in no particular order)...
Now Playing In The Band...
The project may be over for 2012, but you can continue to check out some of the "Top Rated" videos that were submitted and "Like" them here.
Maybe it's time to start highlighting some of the bands and renditions that didn't get as much attention. So many submissions, and yet it seems the same bands keep getting reposted. What about some of the less popular/lesser "known" bands that offered some interesting takes on Dead tunes? Do they not get their day in the sun now that the official contest is over? I mean, since you're still posting vids, it would be nice to see a more diverse offering. Sure, we could search ourselves, but it's nice to see them up here where they are "highlighted." Some of those small bands could probably use the exposure and appreciation.
Thank you kindly!

PAPPYPGH, the video is amazing!
Thanks for sharing!
* dancing*
BTW in case you haven't tried this audio editor, try it! ;)
Now, how would you know what was being discussed during the break?
....was looking across stage at Mr. Steve Kimock playing on an original song of mine...
Here's "CHINA CAT SUNFLOWER" > "NEVER ALONE"
Please excuse the video montage over "China Cat", as our video guy was (as he says) "in conference".....teeeheeee.....
Yeah...what's up with that?
I wonder when they are going to "shine" that Lovelight on the top 5 submissions. First they said it was going to be in March, now it was changed to April and now its almost the end of April and...nothing.
Looks like one creeped in (same song at 9 & 10? Weird)....
Anyway - here's a link to the whole first set video playlist with SOUNDBOARD audio - it sounds SO much better....

And the link to the second set video playlist with SOUNDBOARD audio, too....

And here's the SUGAREE, just to give you an example....
don't be sorry PAPPYPGH, rejoice. This whole business (and these days the whole world) is about hook or crook. I never paid much attention to Kimock but you guys put on a good show and Kimock has an interesting and unique way of whipping up the jams; he really sneaks up on you and I love your pair of of queens on vocals.
They've been cycling the top ten board for a few weeks now. The video I submitted for Front Porch Revival cycled all the way to number 1 in just a few days then fell off the top. The boys got all excited. Thanks deadcoversproject or its mysterious leader! Giving everyone some exposure is the kind approach - think about dropping the likes bit though - I see you're tracking all the outgoing clicks now anyway and are clearly not paying any attention to like counts anyway, thank Jerry, so why continue the ruse?
I just checked out mightrinwood's entry from url provided in the post right below this one and was seriously touched so I figured I'd help him out by embedding the video here to get him a little more traffic from those who only click - it's short and sweet and if I'm understanding correctly qualifies cause was written by Hunter
