I am an old man and this has always been one of my favorite songs this has to be the best version I have ever heard and I've been listening to it for over 50 years great job
"Let it be known...there is a fountain... that was not made, by the hands of men." Maybe the most spiritual line in popular music history. Beautifully sung.
~a very special tune. Its' the kind of thing you never forget. You won't hear it in commercial advertisement. It's not a ` jingle '. ~or ` background ' in a beer or truck ad. But Shakespeare would understand it. ~and a few others...
Ripple is perhaps the greatest modern popular mystical song ever written. Without a doubt the best version is the original Grateful Dead studio version, but this version is a close second. Beautifully, beautifully sung.
Andy Peace I agree. Mostly enjoy their live versions of almost any song. But Ripple studio version just has that raw splendor that comes from the beginning of something beautiful. I truly think they knew how special it was from the start. Jerry didn’t play it often because of how much it meant to him.
@@kurtsaxton823 Really not fair 🙂 ... putting together All-Stars from around the globe, with PFC's engineering, production, editing ... yeah, they do it up right 😊
AJlee's voice is so sincere and pure it makes me believe that magic does indeed exist,so pleased to see this level of talent from these magnificent young musicians.
This is nation-wide quality! This young girl supported by this band, it reminds me of my long lost hometown. If your cup runeth over. But faith cannot turn the tide of incoming doubt.
As you listen to the lullaby think what he added! & say God's Speed to the poet **Robert Hunter**. Thanks for all the words, Bob! The lyrics to the soundtrack of my & so many others lives The words you wrote are more poignant than any others and still ring true today.
Playing my guitar with you in my kitchen now..a Thanksgiving gift to me...how sweet! Amazing to watch your musical journey through the years. All of you all!!!! Molly Too!
AJ is a gift from God to all of us. I absolutely love the lyric "Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men." May we all drink from it.
Friend, I have been studying the Bible for a long time, This is nice but not even close to what heaven will be like. Heaven is a place who have submitted to the will of God while on earth (Matt. 7:21) and a place where the saved will be in the presence of God and worship Him. (Rev. 4:10)
This has got to be one of rhe most beautiful songs ever written. So much imagery, as I listen wirh my eyes closed. Even more beautiful as sung by this young lady AJ Lee. I do not know much about her, but as much incredibile talent as our beloved Linda Ronsted. Jerry would have been proud to sing with her on any of those songs, I'm sure. Thank you for this from AJ.
I find myself repeating myself over and over every time I listen to a AJ Lee version of any song. Give Robert Hunter credit for the words and Jerry Garcia for the music, but honestly the vocals and delivery of this great song now belongs to AJ Lee and we must never forget the Tuttles. Together they bring musical magic and meaning to a song leaving all who listen with a greater appreciation for the songs they sing and their combined talents. Larry Milby
Larry Noble i been listening to this for many years by Jerry Garcia.i totally agree with Larry on that how Aj lifted upp the song to other level by her style and by her sweet voice.Now I play this song her way on my guitar. Thank you Aj .keep on singin.
Great job on this rendition of Jerry’s masterpiece! My uncle ,which went on to have a successful music career! Moved to California in the 60s and met Jerry Garcia , the two became life long friends ! They lived under a bridge,because at the time neither one of them had any money or contacts,that would start their journey ! My uncles career brought him back to the east ! Jerry’s kept him mostly west coast early on ! Loved hearing my uncle,tell me about their encounters!
Nine years later, AJ is an even better singer. On this great song. Good to hear her and Molly together. I wish that she would have the same success as Molly. I am glad to see Sully, with his beautiful baritone voice, in her present band.
What a fantastic group. My fav bluegrass group now. AJ does a beautiful job on this and the harmony is out of this world great. I love this group...Good luck in your music. ..Ed Gowens Echota Records and Songwriter
I'm came across AJ looking up ripple, would love to here her play sitting here in limbo! PS love all songs and covers, I'm 33 from Detroit, my grandfather on my mother's side was from Ohio, he had a great ear for music and loved mandalin and gospel, and I also love, Jerry, Grisman, Neil young, Roy Clark, and many bluegrass and old country/ gospel, Love you guy's! Huge fan, Your fan , Benjamin Wozniak
My favourite song from Grateful Dead American Beauty album. Takes me back to a younger, simpler time and this rendition is so well done by all of you. Excellent vocals as usual, AJ.
One of the grwatest melodies and song ever written...there is no way to not enjoy this song Playing for change group did an extremely good rendition with truly great musicians
I am an old man and this has always been one of my favorite songs this has to be the best version I have ever heard and I've been listening to it for over 50 years great job
I am a '48 model human myself..This version is Jerry Approved from afar, I am sure.
well done you. have a great life and be happy always
Her voice is like warm honey. What a gift.
love that
She is a bit more talented than the flavor of the day...Taylor swift
AJ has done nothing since this video was made except to get better and better! Her voice and stage presence have matured beautifully.
Absolutely beautiful. Jerry is smiling down at this one for sure.
Amen
When I want to smile, feel better, and lower my blood pressure, I listen to this. AJ is amazing.
If there were a heaven it would be sitting under a tree playing music like this with friends and family.
"Let it be known...there is a fountain... that was not made, by the hands of men." Maybe the most spiritual line in popular music history. Beautifully sung.
Amen
She has perfect pitch. Every note is so accurate
At a time like this, this song could bring tears.
I think I'm gonna call my work, tell 'em I'm sick, stay home and listen to these amazing folks all day.
As a 45+ year fan of The Grateful Dead, this is a great cover. Well done young lady, well done...
Just one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
~a very special tune. Its' the kind of thing you never forget. You won't hear it in commercial advertisement. It's not a ` jingle '. ~or ` background ' in a beer or truck ad. But Shakespeare would understand it. ~and a few others...
holy crap, AJ Lee, this is probably the best rendition I ever heard.
Thank you

AJ Lee has the voice of an angel! ❤

I would throw the Playing for Change version in also.
The truth.

There is something universal about Side 2 of American Beauty even if you are into the GD that much. They put out two wonderful albums in 1970.
What a sweet voice. Needed this today. Thank you ❤
AJlee's voice is so sincere and pure it makes me believe that magic does indeed exist,so pleased to see this level of talent from these magnificent young musicians.
These two ladies have come along way since this video
Indeed they are both among only 5 total nominees for the International Bluegrass Music Association award for best female vocalist in 2024 as well!
We still love you here in Ireland ...
God this just tears the heart out of me...I am so eternally in love with AJ and Molly's singing
AJ and Molly melt my heart. x
AJ an absolute beauty.

@@davidnissen9491 Thank you for this great insight...
Kudos... best-ever TH-cam song-comment...!
Amen!
I honestly believe that Heaven is a pleasant spring afternoon sitting under a shade tree playing music like this.
I sure hope so
Perfect timing and harmony
