That's why JRAD slaps so hard. They're not afraid to go anywhere with any song. They just opened a show with Esau>Cats under the stars. They give zero Fs about following any sort of Dead structure.
I appreciate you doing this Davvy. I personally prefer the original lineup with Sam and Clay. Check out Rubin and Cherise from their Shred 420 show a couple years ago. Can’t speak much for this current lineup.
I am very excited about your upcoming course! Was going to whine about no Play Dead, but this is even more awesome. I found you at exactly the right time. You are awesome.
I was stoked to see that you were reviewing the Shred cause I'm a big fan, but DAMN, I have to say that this video is not one of their best efforts. PLEASE check out some of their other vids and give them another look/listen. I've been to several of their shows and never been disappointed. I love Austin's comment. I hope he invites you to sit in sometime. I'd love to be at that show! Love your channel, your work and your passion.
Their cover of Man Smart, Woman Smarter is fantastic. I saw them at Electric Forest in 2019 with all my non deadhead friends and they had a better time than I did I think
I Love you, Davvy. Hope you're feeling well up in the head, and down in the heart. Jah bless, and keep you always. Oh and also Grateful Shred seems more like a cover band whereas St. Owsley, and JRAD and bands like that are, in my mind, jam bands *doing* covers. You know what I mean?
I brought up this video at D&C this weekend when a crew I met there suggested Grateful Shred. I said I can't unhear them as a "good karaoke band" now ha
You should do a reaction to Cosmic Charlie out of Athens. They are one of my favorites besides JRAD. Their show early this year in Raleigh was amazing. They did a middle set of Dark Side of the Moon between 2 Dead sets, it was so good.
Saw them live, and they brought a lot more flavor than they did on the rehearsal takes. Dan Horne blew me away! I was a little underwhelmed by this version as well.
I can understand that this may be more reserved as it's a rehearsal, but why are they all playing the same guitar? Man, if you're going to have 3 guitar players someone should play something with humbuckers. It would definitely add some more sonic texture. Thanks for the video Davvy!
Also agree... You train like you fight and fight like you train. That was a very timid performance in a lot of ways. But hey im not one to talk. They all have great voices but sounded like they were all just holding back in every way.
I agree I was expecting a lot more energy and maybe a more hard rock version of the dead with a name like grateful shred... not throwing shade, they played it well, just felt like it could have been a little more original. Thanks for the content Davvy!
Do Hollywood bowl Scarlett by the other line up so we can talk about how much of a badass Dan Horn is,they ripped that nice Would love to see you do a reaction to Dead’s Venetta BirdSog I love Jerry’s solo so much on that I listen to it every day atleat once on my drive home
lmao you are dang so funny Davvy. "Why are there three guitarists playing rhythm?" *Proceeds to rip the solo himself* I love Dan Horn (Circles Around the Sun is groovy af). This rehearsal - low energy to say the least.
Agreed, the rehearsal lacked creativity and originality but Dan has been slayin this lead bass and I really dig the direction theyre going with Adam and Dan. CATS! Also I think they have 3 guitarists because the one dude plays lap steel.

It's maybe not the best version I've ever seen, but hey, their playing the music! A lot better than I can anyway. But it's still missing something though for sure. Though didn't you say that this video is just them doing rehearsal or something?
one of my favorite grateful dead cover bands is joe russo’s almost dead u should give them a listen also i love the videos i’m 16 and dead and co is what got me into the dead cause i was a mayer blues fan but yes i agree any dead cover band that brings people into the music is good 😊
Yep that was my thought. It’s a rehearsal, so maybe the new guys will be broken in by showtime. Until then it kinda reminds me of CATS - maybe because the two dudes from that band stand WAY out here
Maybe a single guitar solo from one of the three guitarists? As someone who plays this song, it’s an amazing jam vehicle. Just wanted to see more than just texturing.
They sound okay in some parts its just a terrible name because there's no shredding. I expected it to be heavy metal dead tunes. This is more like that Daniel donato jammy country stuff
This is my first time re-watching this and I feel like you need to do like a week with of practice with them and make them better. They just seem to be lacking in direction. They feel so watered down and vanilla. The texturing shit they’re doing isn’t working. It dull and subpar. I know people disagree with me on this, but what the Dead scene needs now is some fucking punk attitude and drive.
@@toddnadell1754 I only has anything to do with St. Stephen. You mean the line, "One man gathers what another man spills?" I can appreciate nostalgic longing.
All due respect Davvy, but you made an absolute ass of yourself with this video. "No hate and I'm not knocking them" then you proceed to hate and knock their rehearsal video, even before the song starts? AND THEN you say you would only go to their show if they asked you to sit in with them. They should be so lucky... Grateful Shred is an absolute blast live btw.
You were honest. IMO, they were unemotional, lacked enthusiasm and lacked charisma. Their performance was brutal for a pro band. They should not have released that video.
Dude. LoL
Oh, shit! Whaddup Austin!
Are you gonna ask him to sit in with you guys 🤣
That's why JRAD slaps so hard. They're not afraid to go anywhere with any song. They just opened a show with Esau>Cats under the stars. They give zero Fs about following any sort of Dead structure.
Esau - blah. But JRAD is darn good and fun.
I was on acid for that esau>cats, 10/10 will do again...many times...Peach was fuckin fun.

I second this. Their rubin is PHENOMENAL

Absolutely love it, looking forward to more! Thank you Davvy

You should try Disco Biscuits with Billy & The Kids playing Scarlet Begonias > I Know You Rider at Dear Jerry.
Love the reaction videos! I would love to hear your thoughts on JRAD, they’re my fave!
React to Palmisano reacts. Had fun at a Shred gig, would see St Owsley

Makes me wanna go back to Grateful Bed
I agree with you on them, bro
New camera is wild!
Also agree... You train like you fight and fight like you train. That was a very timid performance in a lot of ways. But hey im not one to talk. They all have great voices but sounded like they were all just holding back in every way.
You guys should check out Mapache which is comprised of the two former guitarists in Grateful Shred. They are the only GD cover band I have enjoyed.
seemed to me they were going for a cover of a dwight yoakum cover
It felt like Cereal without Milk

Strangely critical review. “I’m not knocking them…”. but here, let me knock them
Only thing really missing was the guitar solo. The psychedelic jam at the end was pretty cool. Otherwise it was ok.
At the end of the song they start to come to life , never do they get there .Have they never heard the dead ?
Yeah I like shred 😎 the pull off 3 guitars they’re all playing very sparingly and leaving a lot of air
They could’ve used someone to step up and shred a solo
Have you ever been to a show???
lmao you are dang so funny Davvy. "Why are there three guitarists playing rhythm?" *Proceeds to rip the solo himself*
I love Dan Horn (Circles Around the Sun is groovy af). This rehearsal - low energy to say the least.
More of this
This is plain silly! And yes keyboardist was in CRB and Black Crowes- he’s damn good
The ol razzle dazzle its what its about! We love Davvy @ MOA-2011-BLG-191
Their sound is 1971 or so.
My opinion is you're awesome.
Agreed, the rehearsal lacked creativity and originality but Dan has been slayin this lead bass and I really dig the direction theyre going with Adam and Dan. CATS! Also I think they have 3 guitarists because the one dude plays lap steel.
yeeeeeee yo!
Hey Davy you should react to sum good ol Phil and friends???
He'll yea
Yo davvy are you running a midi on birdie? That things looking great
Yessir. Roland GK3 into Roland gr22

I’m in the middle of building a guitar course, cut me some slack.
simmer down Davy

They are boring af........neutered GD if you will. Your videos are always top notch!
They're doing a DeadCo rendition....
peep some matt hartle and friends. so much flavor
Greatful Shred used to be so much better! I miss the Greatful Shred of 4-5 years ago!
You should react to some JMF
Ps don’t reference Palmisaro,
expand?
Did you color your hair? Looks significantly darker.
Nope. Just movie magic
To really play this music right, you got to play for your life.
Sounds like a karaoke version of Dead & Co ...
This band was better when Sam and Clay from Mapache where in it. This is pretty boring.
Yep that was my thought. It’s a rehearsal, so maybe the new guys will be broken in by showtime. Until then it kinda reminds me of CATS - maybe because the two dudes from that band stand WAY out here
Dude. It’s Trucking. It’s the most in-the-box made-for-the-single Dead song ever. What do you want them to do with it?
Maybe a single guitar solo from one of the three guitarists? As someone who plays this song, it’s an amazing jam vehicle. Just wanted to see more than just texturing.
They sound okay in some parts its just a terrible name because there's no shredding. I expected it to be heavy metal dead tunes. This is more like that Daniel donato jammy country stuff
You should teach Russian doll on acoustic for a lesson someday
It sounds tired. The "Crumar" style organ doesn't sound like the right timbre, either...IMHO.
Not trying to be mean here, but the vocals sound like they dropped a shit ton of Xanax right before they walked on stage
Nutless , very safe , but wtf , where is the beef ?
They are vegan I guess.😆

Vanilla
Damn they have zero energy. This sounds really sad. Jesus.
That could be the worst choice for a Shred video you could have made.
Yea its good it the dead ......not Jerry music ....
Too slow for Truckin'. Feels like mud in the system.
This is pretty boring stuff. Dragging badly
Dude I’m claiming it 2022
“Grateful Dads”
Boring. Tight, but poor soloing when there was even an attempt at soloing
No energy. Btw, check out Deadco this tour. They are on fire.
I don't know if "fire" is the word I'd use. Pep. They have some pep. I heard them play a couple songs with some real energy.
@@matthewatwood8641 one man's pep is another man's fire. St. Stephen, kinda

Hell yeah, dude. Can’t wait to see what videos you make.

I toured pretty hard 88-92
The only videos I can post of myself as a performer are djing
