Lampsacus posted:I've been enjoying cover band Grateful Shred on YouTube lately because of their simple, smooth vocal harmonies. Does anybody else have a good cover band to recommend? if you get a chance to see them definitely do it. The harmonies sound even better live and, at least a couple years ago, they’d play small-to-medium sized clubs which is imo the best type of venue for rock music No other strong recs but I read that Dave Longstreth’s (of the dirty projectors) brother is/was in a dead cover band. Searched and found this channel, has a set from the Hollywood bowl. Pretty dece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPq7yc7JZyA

BigFactory posted:Dead and co was really bad, so is that article quote:Dead and Company long ago developed a reputation in the wider Deadhead community for their slackened tempo—Dead and Slow, they’re called—but all tour, they play the song at a blistering pace that they’ve never even tried before. Mayer reels off lines in the breaks, getting notes out like he’s bailing out a boat. By the time they get to San Francisco in mid-July, “Cumberland Blues” has transformed from a lovely bit of electric bluegrass into a country dervish, a spinning, hyper-rotating hurricane of a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1ZqLV6j94o Bruh what

Dicere posted:So it was only today that I learned that Lady of Carlisle is an old English folk tune. The song came up in that Robert Hunter album that was posted earlier in the thread. Knowing that, it's unmistakable the Lady with a Fan is a retelling of that story. always fun to find the folk roots of a lot of the dead's music, some more obvious than others. other good ones: mudcat history of I Know You Rider posted by the old folkie who "popularized" the tune in the revival scene nursery rhyme inspiration for Scarlet Begonias lyrics Elizabeth Cotten's version of going down the road feelin bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwdFhWNL0_M original recording of Viola Lee Blues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EZCFtC_Nyw early recording of cold rain & snow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG4eFaWZnn0
