You are so right - this tune takes me away - I put my headphones on and close my eyes - wow, the lyrics take me on a flight - thank you Jerry & Robert H for providing this beautiful canvas for Molly to detail
Stunningly beautiful... Jerry and Robert Hunter are smiling in another plane... you’ve definitely done justice to a beautiful song. You are a true gem of Americana.
As an old deadhead I have a hard time admitting it, but I like this version even more than Grateful Dead´s. Mollys voice suits the song perfectly, and it's sung with such passion.
It depends on the Dead version, but...yeah...this is about as definitive of a studio version as the Dead could have done...probably better in fact There were many live Dead version better than this, versions where Jerry's voice was solid and he was singing his heart out, but there were also a LOT of versions where Jerry's voice was beyond shit and he couldn't recall half the lyrics even with a teleprompter. Leaving all of that aside, this is just a beautiful version of a wonderful song.
I wanna believe in a time when Molly, Jerry, Bobby, Hunter and the others lived in Palo Alto as neighbors and collaborators. Lotta magic would have happened. I mean it did, with the Dead and other bands from the 60s. But can you imagine Jerry and Molly trading licks on stage? Wow! Thank the goddesses for Molly, her band, Billy Strings and many other wonderful young musicians we are blessed with today!
Thank you for this mournful warning about the effects of war and hate. I've used it in two posts - including one for today - American Independence Day. As I listened now, I heard the "I'd rather be with you..." as spoken by the victims of war to those they left behind. These victims are men, women and, YES, children. Also, hearing you - a woman - sing it amplifies the effect...as women first labored and birthed these now-dead lives into being. Jerry is also smiling down. Gratefully, a 75-year young Deadhead
Some have noted a "Mother Goose" strand that runs throughout the Grateful Dead's music. I would add a "Patriotic" strand to that. "Crimson, white and indigo..." And here is America's sweetheart singing about Old Glory, Standing on the Moon. Priceless!
Oh?! 💛💜❤️ I am already a huge Molly Tuttle fan. Finding out that Molly covers Dead songs just adds to the joy that it is to listen to Molly's singing and to her guitar playing. 🎶
@@larryhauser9288 Well, the Dead were the world's best cover band so it kinda makes sense in a roundabout way that covers of THEIR songs could be as good as this. But then, everything Molly does seems to come out right....
Just saw her tonight at the Birchmere in Alexandria VA, first live show in 14 months, she played this tune, tears all around, really. Your own this one now Molly, love you.
What's really cool is that she had a GD lyric engraved inside of her acoustic guitar....maybe from Standing on the Moon? This young lady has such magic...so much love in her music...
"I do feel like the guitar is sounding better and better from playing it so much. I actually visited the Pre-War shop back when they were building it. Before they put the back and sides together, they asked, “Do you want to write a secret note inside?” I took a line from one of my favorite Grateful Dead songs that I had just learned how to play, “Standing on the Moon.” I wrote, “A lovely view of heaven, but I’d rather be with you.” I think I drew a little moon too." "Little did I know I’d be recording that song after the pandemic hit and everything got locked down. All of a sudden it felt a lot more relevant, and I had a special little connection to that guitar. It kind of predicted my next album in a way, and I ended up naming the album …But I’d Rather Be with You."
Breathtaking.... just breathtaking. You are my favorite artist now. Your covers are amazing... Your originals are perfection... Your mixing of genres are beyond anything...I learned to play guitar covering Simon and Garfunkel and Judy Colins songs in the late 60’s and 70’s. You have breathed a new joy into my desire to play guitar. .Thank you....
My favorite late-period Grateful Dead song. You did it so well. I took a 35 mile bike ride today and listened to the whole album twice. "Standing On The Moon" is my favorite. Also listened to "When You're Ready". I think you made a new fan today :)
Glory standing swiftly, crimson white and Indigo. Not bad, that for keeping the energy coming new and creative I think Jerry & Robert would like, I do.. 😆 RIP, TO MY BEAUTIFUL MOMMA #2...
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters I miss California When I hear this classic Considering we have a comet flying over US right NOW it's kind of groovy that this old favourite is brought out by the extraordinaire Molly Tuttle Whose career I have been following forever.. Anyhow Jerry smiling down from heaven... Which must be a nice CHANGE for him As I am SURE that he shakes his head watching us destroy the planet daily Motherearth is dying gasping for air Climate change is REAL..
Could you please just record like a 30 to 60 minute version of this,.. Just keep jamming it out the way you did here. It would save from having to replay this ten times in a row. So poignant. Simply beautiful. Thank you 💙🌎💙
I'm so grateful to live in a time when you are making music. I drove 4hrs each way to see you play in Northampton; I had a huge smile on my face the whole ride home and your disc played the whole time. I can't wait till this pandemic is over and I get to see you play again. God has blessed you with amazing talent; thank you for sharing it with the world.
This would definitely put a smile on Jerry's face. Just beautiful.
Robert Hunter too!
Ear to ear 🙂🙂❤❤
🌹✌️❤️
I'm not smiling, you're smiling (no, I'm smiling too...,) just a lovely cover.
You are so right - this tune takes me away - I put my headphones on and close my eyes - wow, the lyrics take me on a flight - thank you Jerry & Robert H for providing this beautiful canvas for Molly to detail
lovely!
no greater way to pay homeage to an artist than to do a beautiful rendition like this.

Her voice is better than Jerry’s. But maybe it always meant to be that way 😎
Naaaa…. It’s good but auto tune helps
It depends on the Dead version, but...yeah...this is about as definitive of a studio version as the Dead could have done...probably better in fact There were many live Dead version better than this, versions where Jerry's voice was solid and he was singing his heart out, but there were also a LOT of versions where Jerry's voice was beyond shit and he couldn't recall half the lyrics even with a teleprompter.

@@annunziatomike when you ruin your own enjoyment of music because of your misconceptions.
@@annunziatomike Seen her live? You'd be surprised! Check this one out: th-cam.com/video/EpTivOXjVEY/w-d-xo.html
One of my favorite things is when artists i dig step inside the world that Garcia & Hunter created. Such a magical place!
Same💖
Y'all getting to see Molly and the Band this tour?

It's rare to find a cover that re-interprets the original this well. Molly Tuttle is incredibly gifted.
Even better yet, her gift is a gift to us.
I've never heard this song with such clarity nor played with such passion. Thanks. Molly.
you must have never seen Jerry live
@@jeanneyoung482 Naw. Not live but I've heard multiple live recordings. Molly's vocals were much easier to understand, that's all.
🌹😎❤️✌️
@@Galiuros its good
But its not Grate.
@@pickettmandi Geeze. That took about 10 seconds to sink in.
Beautiful
Sweet cover!!!
Simply gorgeous. A stunning song in the original covered by another gifted artist paying great homage. Made my day -thanks.
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Best
Lol...you caught me!
Yes i am
Ok.... fine, I admit it.....
(Just don't tell anybody)
Yes, I am -- but you started it.

Right?!
Oh?! Indeed. Never heard Jerry live ... but the Dead TH-cams I've found don't compare with this. She kills it. Sometimes the covers are better.
This is how I found her. Can’t wait to see her live 🥲
@@larryhauser9288 Well, the Dead were the world's best cover band so it kinda makes sense in a roundabout way that covers of THEIR songs could be as good as this. But then, everything Molly does seems to come out right....
Jerry's standin' on the moon with a smile on his face!
⚡FACT⚡
The next set of astronauts will have this on loop in the command module. Just lovely.
👍
⭐️👩🏻🚀🧑🏼🚀🥰🌖💫
Omg! I’m speechless.
One of my personal favorites from the Dead catalogue. I love that you picked this one to cover.
You guys are just awesome ! I love this unique version of Desperado.
What a wonderful song.
Yeah!!Mesmerizing!Jerry is smiling down on her/them.Just wonderful!
Such a beautiful rendition, thank you.
She's at her best when fusing blue grass with folk & rock. Great job.
Renews and Breathes New, Vibrant Life into a Splendid Song from the Past
The bar has been set... On the Moon.
Always liked this lesser played Dead song. Great to see this generation appreciates. Molly is an old soul in young body!
So good Molly ..Jerry would love this..🤩❤
❤️✌️🌹😎
Superb voice, full feeling, pure country.
She's awesome
Molly, you couldn't have done this song any better. I give you a 10+
Badass my favorite Dead song ALL TIME.... HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
so beautiful- like a dream
... :-)... Beautiful Molly, I'm with you. You should be the most famous singer in the world.
that one is an underappreciated gem 💎. And you’ve done it justice indeed, Molly!
You are a shining musical light. Thank you for bringing such thoughtful goodness into a world that sorely needs it.
Big thank you to Concert Window for enabling it's subscribers to watch Molly grow up musically!
Just saw her tonight at the Birchmere in Alexandria VA, first live show in 14 months, she played this tune, tears all around, really. Your own this one now Molly, love you.
Tears in my eyes.
Wow!!! Jerry and Robert would be proud. Awesome job Molly
For me, this may be the best song cover ever.
Excellent version of an amazing song. Molly does it justice with her sweet voice and melodic playing.
What a gift you've given us Molly. Simply gorgeous. Jerry and Robert have this on replay in heaven right now.
Can ya do Ripple or Brokedown Palace? I would love to hear you rip one of those off.
Song hits harder when sung by a woman. Thank you Molly this is absolutely beautiful.
Awesome song choice Molly with that beautiful voice of yours!!! And one amazing performance indeed!!!!
What a wonderful take on a classic dead song! Also hats off to the engineering. Just sounds fantastic.
Molly Tuttle is pure genius!!!!
Probably one of the best Dead covers around. Well done.
What's really cool is that she had a GD lyric engraved inside of her acoustic guitar....maybe from Standing on the Moon? This young lady has such magic...so much love in her music...

I love the Grateful Dead more than my wine 🍷
I don't even drink but love dead so I agree

I first heard this on “tales from the golden road” on SiriusXM, I’m a fan now! Jerry smiles on you.
Did Robert Hunter know that " A lovely view of heaven but I'd rather be with you" would take on a whole new meaning when Jerry was gone?
i think so man. i think so
Oh my, this version is simply lovely.
Absolutely beautiful rendition Molly! Thank you - Jerry would be thrilled to hear your sweet voice.
I saw her at The Independent in SF last year and she closed with this song. She does such a great version - it really took me back to the GD days.
Perfect!! I bet that was dope!!!
Omg molly this is my favorite song. You are a grateful kid. I'm stoked ❤️
Molly is a gift. Thanks.
Wonderful Molly. I loaded that song up into Chordify and reverently strummed along. God bless you and Jerry.
Thank you Jerry much Molly!!
Nice song. Nice voice. Nice video. Beautiful girl Molly.👍🌹🎶🎵❤️👏
Music saves. Thanks molly. Really needed this today
