    The Dead Covers Project 2016

    This year's submissions period has ended. Check out all the great performance with the Official 2016 DEAD COVERS PROJECT playlist.

    Whether you play just like Jerry or like to give the Grateful Dead's beloved classics a unique spin, the 2016 Dead Covers Project wants you! We're calling all musicians - near and far - to share your love for the music and magic of the Dead through video. Show off your musical chops and you just might find yourself front and center on Dead.net during the month of February! The rules are simple - all video submissions must contain a song either written by or recorded by the Dead. How that song is interpreted, however, is entirely up to you.

    Upload your video to YouTube, tag it "DeadCoversProject," and we'll make it available to view on the band's official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/gratefuldead. Can't carry a tune? Join the fun by "liking" your favorites on YouTube.

    Good luck!

    I love this format. Just tag it. Super. There might be more songs than these, I will see what I can manage between it all. Between watching all the others, I mean. * Althea, 2013-11-03 * Friend Of The Devil, 2013-01-15 * Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad, 2013-01-15 * New Minglewood Blues, 2013-01-15

    This is really awesome. I really wanted to make a video last year but wasn't able to. So, Im excited to be part of it this year. Last year Aaron Gibson did an amazing version of Brent Mydland's "I will take you home" which was by far my favorite of all the videos even though they were all great. But that inspired me to put a different spin on another Brent Mydland song.

    Where is the LOVE IT ! button ?
    I absolutely LOVE the Dead Covers Project... it just feels so good to know that this vibe has spread so far, so deep with no end in sight. Tell me Jerry would have not have loved this concept as well... Every submission gets a big thumbs up from me. My $0.02...

There are some Karaoke covers of Dead tunes. Mostly Truckin and Casey Jones. If you dig hard you can find Big River, some traditional blues. The Mars Hotel Out takes has about the best Scarlett B Karaoke/instrumental version I've heard! How about a sub category for next years Cover Project to include a Karaoke award? Sorry singers, take the backup position. Let's build up a home made Karaoke library!!!
