Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon of Phish

Joe Russo and Marco Benevento of Benevento/Russo Duo

Phil Lesh of (well, obviously)


Is this good enough for the purists?

1. It's fine by me...

So long as they don't call it 'The Greatful Dead'

[ComerPerro]

2. was a performance at Bonnaroo. Wondering what you thought of their

version of the song.

[southpaw]

3. Sounds pretty good.

Great players, classic song. Looks like they and the audience are having a great time.

[ComerPerro]

4. The intro and solos still have a very Trey sound to them, too

a lot of people, when they do covers, try to imitate the guitarist exactly.

I got some crap at work one day several months ago for singing along with Jerry on my headphones to this song.

5. it's okay with me

i've caught a couple of "The Dead" and Phil & Friends shows...Trey played at one their Saratoga shows.

lots of artists cover their stuff and it is good. i listened to Sublime's cover of Scarlet Begonias this morning, it is awesome.

[ComerPerro]

6. I have never heard that. Sublime covered Scarlet Begonias?

I bet its good.
