Yeah, we love this. It probably is the best and most anticipated feature of Dead.nets's whole year. I think the talent of the musicians and their trying to be spot-on at their best with their own interpretations really breathes life into the musty ol' crypt. Prepare to get spun in a lot of directions you never thought of, never even anticipated were on the compass.
If you didn't dig it last year then pull up a rocker and get cozy with a blunt and a glass of merlot and prepare for maybe being pleasantly surprised a time or two or three at what folks are cooking up out there. It truly is testimony to the dead's body of work and one that may make you smile again and again at the same old song several more times.
Don't forget to hit the "like" button much as you like!

Greetings, Thank you for posting my video today, "New Minglewood Blues". Greatly appreciate this honor. However, Noah Lewis is the original composer of the song.
Just a heads up.
Thanks again!
I know this has been brought up before. But, it's hard to understand how a popularity contest based on likes has anything to do with the integrity of the music. We could ask all our Facebook friends to like a video whether they actually listen to it or not. Grandma, neighbors, coworkers, etc, we are stepping outside of an audience that knows anything about the dead.
Sorry, just an old deadhead's grumblings—breathe. Miss you Jerry!
Folks - I don't see anywhere on the Dead Covers Project page that this is a contest. If it is a contest, please let me know...cuz if it is, I'm not sure I even want to enter.
From what I can tell, this is a project for fans of the dead to share some music, art, and love. Why does everything have to be so competitive these days?
Just enjoy the music and be happy you're alive to experience it! (Or not, sorry I don't mean to tell y'all what to do.)
Let there be songs to fill the air!

You're right man. My bad. It's a project and it's a great project. Perhaps the term "leader board" is throwing some of us off. And it does feel like there is a reward or "prize" a.k.a. getting posted on the home page. I will take your advice and just enjoy.
Thanks for giving me another perspective.

Bear's Choice, a Grateful Dead tribute band in the NYC area performs Black-Throated Wind for the #DeadCoversProject 2016. This is just a fragment of the ending when we got stage-jacked by "the hat guy."

Sorry for the late submission. Here is an improvisational acoustic medley on my 12-string of some songs from Anthem and Aoxomoxoa.
I hope you enjoy!

Going down the road feeling bad - I filmed this in Eastbourne in the UK a few years back and still enjoy playing it live to local audiences.
