    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.

Two great "Cassidy"s rolled into one! Blair mentioned this in his blog and said it wasn't posted to DCP. I re-tagged and re-titled it on YouTube today so hopefully people will be able to see two nights of Scarlet Mountain jamming in one vid.

These guys are amazing. A true 'cover' without being derivative, spectacular chops on those acoustic instruments, and a great film to boot. Love it!!!!

This project is wonderful.I am enjoying it everyday. Kudos to those musicians playing that which we love; so tenderly and passionately. I needed to see, hear, feel the wonder and sigh in awe at the delightful vibe that is ever-present all around the world. I will have several messages to give as this things progresses. And hey I'm in! I'm heading over to my best friends recording studio and going to send in one myself. I will like and that will be good enough but I may be able to give ya little vibe myself. This was the sweetest idea and ALL praises for ALL Bands is send out from NY today...your ALL winners if you put LOVE in the music...The THREE CHEERS to the ONES with THE MOST! May you all set the bar for playing in the band, xo. I love and have loved you, ALL! ---------------------------------(----@ sherbear, xo

Greetings Folks!I just submitted a video for the Dead Covers Project a few days ago. The title is "Franklins Tower by bliss." I did have it tagged Dead Covers Project, yet I have not seen it appear in The Dead Covers Project page or channel on YouTube... Am I missing something? Peace, Love, & bliss, Matt

The submissions are great. Please keep them coming. I'm trying to listen to all of them. The variance in approach from the different entries is so interesting, so while Carl Akers' Watchtower rocks, so does Hal Weeks' Birdsong.

How is it possible for the Punk Is Dead video to get up to #4 yesterday, and then just disappear?!?! I don't see how it could just go away so quickly, unless it was taken down.

I tagged my version of Franklin's Tower with Dead Covers Project, yet it doesn't appear on the channel for it in youtube! Any idea on what to do? Thanx,Matt

Seems to me that whichever videos have the most 'likes' are what make the Top 10. Be thankful they (you?) were up there! I didn't crack the Top 10! That's quite an achievement.:0)

Trippy, melancholia video best viewed with the right head, produced by Geo Meek, shot in HD, looks lovely on full screen or even on 50" TV capable of playing YouTube. Amazing 3D art by Bryn Oh, visual artist, hauntingly cool visuals for this arrangement of Dylan's Visions of Johanna, a favorite I saw so much in 1995 from Jerry. Please click LIKE on YouTube if you do. Thanks! Von Johin http://www.youtube.com/v/PTE7B7Be9MA?
