I just want to thank you for what you do. Every time I get hung up on some guitar part, I type it in and there you are. Gets me back on track. Another thing is you teach the correct way to play the notes and chords. Much love for you and your Chanel.

Davvy, you should check out Grateful Shred’s Rueben and Cherise they did with Sam and Clay years back. It’s a great studio version of the song.

you should do another JRAD review. They're on FIRE

"Elevate, not Regurgitate" ™ Davvy 2022 "Check out their reuben 🥪 "

Thank you.

I think the disconnect in vocal quality stems from him reading the lyrics as he is singing. I noticed it in recent Phish shows as well. Nailing the lyrics or the vocals are mutually exclusive. You can't have both if you're reading them. Edit: Also, if you haven't already, check out Yonder (Jeff Austin era) covering this song. Segue right into Crazy Train. Great stuff.

JRAD has always Ben one of my favs they blow grateful shred out the water

Hey man, digging your videos. Been meaning to request Big Boss Man for one of your play dead series. Thanks for the videos!

Good job Davvy.

numerous vibes were gathered brah

Plus I was at this show so I might like it more than others

Lol after watching your Dead&Co Sugaree react this feels a little like it's directed specifically at John Mayer "take notes, kids this is it"

Love to see a react video on DSO... I like JRAD musically, but have always struggled with their singing - but dig em'.

Hey Davvy, you should check out the Scarlet Begonias & Iko Iko from the Billy and the Kids shows last year, or really any song from those shows!

Dope

"We play all kinds of music up here. All kinds."

the more I listen to Scotty Metz the more he grows on me. he's quite good. in fact I would say he's very good.

Good ol Dave Dreiwitz on bass. Hail boognish.

good job bud

Davvvy, you like that Zappa shirt!? When do we get a Zappa reaction vid?

I’d like to say that Tommy Hamilton has improved immensely on his vocals since 2014. All you singers can improve too if you work at it.

also to be nitpicky, I'd say Tom is bringing in the envelope filter too early. on the recording it has such great impact when Jerry finally brings it in during the outro jam. Tom going for it right off the bat kind of defeats any chance for a moment like that.

Check out Daniel Donato cosmic country do shakedown

Check out sim Redmond band bro,go ..(good thoughts )record…dope island vibes,he’s out of NY ,they different!🤘space folk ,with reggae rhythms✌️🎸

Davvy, I really enjoyed Bonnie Prince Billy's cover of Rubin for the Day of the Dead compilation that came out a few years back: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcqUgcyTu8fNo2w.html

They need a vocalist, other than that, it’s a great reimagining.

I'd rather jam Jrad than Dead and co lul

I 100% agree about dynamics. He should not have sang the song. My philosophy is don't do the song or do it as an instrumental if you can't sing it.

JRAD doesn't quite do it for me. As far as handling Garcia's vocal, it has got to sound sweet in order to sound like Jerry.

Heard on the bisco podcast that Joe Russo was more of a jazz guy at the start and used to hate jambandy stuff and would constantly rip on tDB.. and now they laugh that he's in a dead cover band

You Should react to twiddle doing shakedown street

I don't know man. A good jam is June 10, 1973, Eyes of the World from GD itself. I know it's unfair to compare it but isn't that the standard where we all want to come in 2022? What JRAD is doing is not as mature at all if you compare it with GD. I think what is missing is the social connectedness between the individual musicians and the audience. GD was insanely tight. In their best moments you couldn't tell the difference between the individual members of the band because they all went into the music as a whole. This is the aim for every jam band. And I don't see any band doing that nowadays. I think it has to do with the cultural change and aggressive capitalism that ruins people from within but also the lack of LSD is part of the problem why we don't get the best possible jam music. GD was always talented as hell but what really brought the special turn was that substance because it made the ego of all band members fluid. In that way they could jam like no other band on the planet. And also: They did not care if someone was listening because they enjoyed their music anyways. The joy and the music was the center of the attention. Today nobody is taking such a risk for art. GD didn't just play. They lived the song. "Truckin'" is a perfect example for this. You can call me an insane hippy. But this is for me an explanation why we haven't seen anything as good as GD for almost 30 years. And yes, of course the a personality like Jerry is missing who was one in a billion.

The lighting don't seem to work here Can't see your beautiful face bruddah!

Love these Davvy. Please keep doing them. On GD&CO..imo John Mayer was the most vanilla, boring choice to be on that stage. Yes he knows every lick and plays them well but I yawn all the way through it. He’s like only being able to do it in the missionary position forever. It’s good but lacks a little luster. Again, I’m sure I’m in the minority but that’s my feeling on it. Thanks for all the free lessons. I plan on buy the lesson pack 😁

JRAD are big dogs. Shred dead or whatever is a garage band. Just sayin...

Meh…,

So, is play dead dead? That’s sad
