May 2012

You picked your favorites and now we're going to stream them in full in honor of their 40th anniversaries! Without further adieu, the Top 3 shows are: 4/26 - Jahrhundert Halle, Frankfurt, 5/10 - Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, and 5/26 - Strand Lyceum, London. Tune in to today's anniversary concert here.

The first annual DEAD COVERS PROJECT was quite a feat! We were overwhelmed with the outpouring of love you showed for the Grateful Dead through the thousands of video submissions we received. We applaud all the hard work and effort that you, the fans, put into the DEAD COVERS PROJECT, and we hope you'll continue to watch and support all the amazing participant videos on YouTube until we fire up the DEAD COVERS PROJECT again next year.

As promised, we'd like to shine our lovelight on a handful of artists who are carrying on the spirit of the Grateful Dead in their own special ways. We hope you'll get to know and love them just as much as we do.
