You're right man. My bad. It's a project and it's a great project. Perhaps the term "leader board" is throwing some of us off. And it does feel like there is a reward or "prize" a.k.a. getting posted on the home page. I will take your advice and just enjoy.
Thanks for giving me another perspective.

Contest?
Folks - I don't see anywhere on the Dead Covers Project page that this is a contest. If it is a contest, please let me know...cuz if it is, I'm not sure I even want to enter.
From what I can tell, this is a project for fans of the dead to share some music, art, and love. Why does everything have to be so competitive these days?
Just enjoy the music and be happy you're alive to experience it! (Or not, sorry I don't mean to tell y'all what to do.)
Let there be songs to fill the air!

Like it or not
I know this has been brought up before. But, it's hard to understand how a popularity contest based on likes has anything to do with the integrity of the music. We could ask all our Facebook friends to like a video whether they actually listen to it or not. Grandma, neighbors, coworkers, etc, we are stepping outside of an audience that knows anything about the dead.
Sorry, just an old deadhead's grumblings—breathe. Miss you Jerry!

Marye do we have to do more than just Tag the video DeadCoversProject ? Does that have to be in the title too ?
I think I got it
Thanks
Salutations, Grateful Dead Family!A facebook friend told me I should submit this to the Dead Covers Project...
It's an audio recording of a GD/Allmans band I've played with for years.
Since we don't have any good live footage, I created a slideshow montage using my own art with a handful of pictures form the Hubble telescope. I did a series of 'old-timey' Jerry Garcia
pictures, with old-fashioned colors, to suit the "Workingman's Dead" feel.
Hope y'all enjoy. Peace.... Lisa Rainbow~~~ <3 :)

I just came to this treasure trove of music and I can't wait to listen to all the covers here. For me, this is the best thing about the Dead's music -- it's still alive, still inspiring musicians, still touching people's hearts and souls.
Here is the first of a few Dead tunes performed by a collection of central PA musicians who came together to form a "project band" called Buffalo Crossing. We played at the Little Buffalo Arts Festival in October 2013. We were under time constraints, so these are kind of the "Readers Digest" versions. Hire us to play your party and we'll stretch them all all day for you. :)
The second offering from Buffalo Crossing's October 5, 2013 performance at Little Buffalo Arts Festival. Thanks to Marye for the tip on how to embed videos.
thank you!! i saw Jerry play this many times in the early 80s and i can't remember which show the dead played it at, but that was awesome too. it was one of the first songs i ever performed and was a mainstay when i would play outside shows looking for tickets on tour. :)
This one seemed to go into the ozone, so I'll post it again. This is Buffalo Crossing's third submission for the Dead Covers Project. Hope to see you all around soon. Special thanks to Bob Martin for keeping the bus on schedule.

The tags look fine. It mine close to a week to show up in youtube when I searched for it using the proper tags.
If you want the vid to show up here go under "share" on your video page and click on embed. Take that code and post it here.
This rocked guys! I loved it.
Hello, all! Here's a clip from a recent gig, the outro of Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way" decided to wander down the Haight and up the Ashbury on it's own accord, who was I to argue......PK
