    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.

This was a great idea. Just awesome stuff being posted. There is some incredible talent out there. Some great younger talent too, which always a good thing. Now, how does the top ten work. Is it by who has the most likes on YouTube? Because the Cassidy by Damià Timoner has shot up to #2. But he has far less views and likes than the Cassidy by Amal and Jeff(which I really like), as well as some of the others with more likes. Don't get me wrong Damià is great just wondering how voting is working. Also check out Mike Masse's Black Peter. This guy is really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aWnjxTfzW_o

A very good performance, I like it.However, this video looks like it was shot in a (very hip) cafeteria of a warehouse on a break. This is good, but the young child throws every thing off. It may be bring your child to work day (or night) or someone's violating child labor laws. Lots of laughs with this video, but the performance is very good and I like it and that is what really matters here.

How is this one not up at the top of the chart.What a version. If they could only pull a singer in for the beautiful lyrics of this song it would be a winner. But I was singing along anyway.

With an appreciation for many cultures and ways to look at life, my group of local surfer buddies gets together to explore musical boundaries and expression. With the loss of a close friend, we have grown tighter as a group and as friends. So Many Roads has always been a heartfelt song about living to the fullest as our good friend did. Remember to tell your friends and family you love them... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo0k2uFayCs

Hi All - Here's my version of Looks Like Rain (just me and my lonesome on piano and vocals - no cops, no funny stuff): My way of saying thanks to the Greatest Band on Earth for all the insane times they showed me back in the day!

Does anyone know the top ten is working? Damia is number one this morning. Now, he's is great, the Cassidy in terrific. But he he has few less likes and views on youtube than Cubensis or Amal and Jeff, who are both awesome. Based on the number of likes on youtube Damia should more at about 5 and Cubensis and Amal & Jeff should be back 1 and 2. Just wondering.....

I think it's more of a ranking by the PTB at DeadNet, but can't say for sure. Some great music on here, no mater how it's rank. Keep them coming!
