This version of New Minglwood Blues was recorded after having whiskey for breakfast to cure a cold. . . Well, ok, that's not actually true, but hopefully something of that spirit is captured here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKXpLsRhJwE
As for I Know You Rider, the story goes that the Dead were hanging out with John Cougar Mellencamp and some graffiti artists when Joe Zawinul showed up. . . and the rest is of course history.

If you go to youtube, you can like videos. That may have a bearing on the ranking but I'm not sure. Check out savannahs and the kings "scarlet Begonias". Currently at 7, but my personal favorite.
This is the version that Jimmy Warbler and the Wombats famously performed on the Pride of the Caribbean in the 1970s. Jimmy sadly lost that gig and now sells used cars in Daytona Beach, so if you pass by be sure to give the guy a toke, as he definitely knew his chops, but life just dealt him some bad knocks.

How does voting take place? Who decides which videos get "featured" on this site? How come one of the selections was featured on the Dead's facebook? This hardly seems like a contest on the up and up...
that answers my question...all via youtube
the above link to youtube/grateful dead has 2015's entries to the dead cover project. is there a place where i can watch and listen to this years?
If this contest is in any way related to youtube likes then The Grateful Dead facebook should not be posting one of the entry videoes. No wonder they are winning!Come on guys...

I've always said "never trust a robot"
Based on the fact that our 'leader board' now includes a performance by the Dead themselves, I'd say there's something to that sentiment!
OK! Annual Dead Covers Project time! Always a blast. Bimini Road performs Scarlet -> IKYR, which works really nicely, or so we think. Got a vocal flub by yours truly, but it's not like THAT never happened before :). What do you think? Recorded on 21 November, 2015 at Berkeley Bob's Coffee House in Cullman, Alabama. Enjoy!

Ha, Paul! The Grateful Dead is coming on strong now and occupying both the #9 and #10 spot. Nothing can stop them now. Of course it is their cover of "It's all over now, Baby Blue" for the DylanCoverProject 2016, but who's counting.
Let It Grow at Cactus Jack's in Phoenix AZ.
