Daniel Rossen, Christopher Bear & The National - 'Terrapin Station (Suite)'

[@tnovacekt]

I am a simple man. I hear Rossen, I press like.

[@grelch]

Chris Bear plays his heart out in this song. He's such an underrated percussionist.

[@defconklaxon]

Perfect. I've listened to this more times than I can count. Long live the Grateful Dead!

[@LuisFonseca1]

One of the best covers I've ever heard.

[@awenindoe]

Jerry would be proud. Out of all the covers in 'Day of the Dead' this one stands out. And even more so because this is such a complex and multi layered composition. Beautifully done!

[@athenahotaru]

I can't :') it's so beautiful! glad to hear Daniel Rossen and Chris B. playing with The National! I'm crying! so stunning!!!

[@thebitterliberals3793]

I love it when real musicians play the dead. Special kudos to the youth orchestra people!!

[@harrygoodwin1795]

This is unreal! The best Grateful Dead cover I've ever heard, and my favourite Dead song!

[@serenityroad1868]

If you like this song and covers I have an arrangement of this song on my channel if you're interested, definitely not as good as this, but different and may be worth a listen.

[@briva]

Recorded in a church?! How fitting that this is the most sacred song of my religion. Stunned. Crying.

[@bobrossantichrisst]

what’s your religion?

[@andrewfranks8788]

Steal your face

[@Pasha2894]

​@@bobrossantichrisst Grateful dead is our religion

[@Daruma42]

If you're gonna cover Terrapin, you better bring it. These guys brought it.

[@brantleyroland2459]

They brought the hell out of it!

[@faustarpful]

It was broughten

[@funksway1]

Scott Brown Twas brungeth

[@matthewkaras6962]

some rise, some fall, some climb to get to terrapin I'd say they rose to the challenge

[@snoozieboi]

I'm all brung out

[@WindsweptMeadow]

This is, like... THE song off the album I've been waiting to hear. Blown away.

[@κεηγση]

This drummer did such an amazing job. To reproduce the drum part with such precision, while adding personal flair - perfectly covered.

[@audiochris78]

It's so good.. The sound, the drumming, Devendorf's bass, that dual guitar lead. A true celebration of the love for music.

[@wonderpiece]

Masterpiece. Then and now. Devotional rendition. Heart vibes.

[@brettwiley4064]

This brings me so much joy... as a huge deadhead for much of my life, this along with everything else I've heard from this album has blown me away.

[@thedeepestdarkness84]

9:30 One of the best cover in the whole of music history.

[@kingwilliamorange]

Talk about nailing it down perfect...wow... this is probably my favorite song of all time.

[@ShiranVyasa]

So hard to play this unless you have great "musicmanship" They have it in spades and do Terrapin Station justice. They are not "covering" the song but understanding it inside out and playing it from the heart.

[@christopherdoe7514]

Such a wonderful cover and very faithful to the original. The production of Terrapin Station is the pinnacle of the Grateful Dead that was never surpassed again. Kudos !

[@nimamotiee]

One of the best renditions ive ever heard. thanks for a real good time

[@adamhaller5740]

heard this song first of a live album when i was 15 or 16, just recently got into the dead again, im sure many have been transported to a magical place like i have. Make art music forever

[@colinmcom14]

Well this is definitely the most epic thing I've ever heard.

[@alistair_maldacena]

Wow.. just wow. I'm late to this party, but I just wanted to add my effusive praise to the chorus. Absolutely wonderful in every way :D

[@quickpicker7322]

Beautiful beyond belief. "Inspiration move me brightly."

[@billfletcher7602]

wow, this is excellent! not an easy piece to reproduce. great job. the more I hear of this project, the more I like it.

[@NeivaaJr]

Dessner brothers born to do music. Such incredible artists.

[@mattnestor4158]

Chris Bear rocks.

[@mytoemytoe]

Jerry Garcia, meet Daniel Rossen. What an incredible pair up.

[@CatLegoDiver]

I wish there was video footage of this! Incredible performance and so true to the spirit of the original. It's been with me for so long ... I feel like I've finally reconnected with a long lost friend.

[@danielismyname3727]

My boy Danny doin' the damn thing....Jerry is fucking proud

[@hiropon2985]

so gorgeous.

[@rockisgroovy]

Formidable cover. Thank you

[@jameswood9314]

Josh Kaufman is the spider that webs all of my favorite musicians together. Thanks to Josh Ritter for helping me find him. Josh Kaufman plays so well, and has such a grasp on the bigger movements within the music. And his taste in people to play with is impeccable!

[@BrainDad208]

Could not imagine anyone else besides Daniel doing justice to Jerry's original vocal

[@trapperkeeper9676]

My local radio station has this album on fairly heavy rotation. I love you, Austin. (And KUTX!)

[@lunatic4blues]

Beautiful tribute to the original. Can't wait for them to start selling the vinyl.

[@стрелок-ч7р]

if you started collecting vinyl in the past two years I guarantee you have shit taste

[@jacksonkeeler]

+Sexually ambiguous drowned rat what the fuck man?

[@hashburystumble6021]

This deserves an individual vinyl release with a gate-fold sleeve & booklet about the making of it. It would have been nice to see it on Record Store Day & perhaps it would have attracted more folk to the "Day of the Dead" Hope 4AD distribute sufficient copies through UK. There was 2 movie halls full in Glasgow, Scotland for the Fare Thee Well show so demand should be pretty high & vinyl sales are rising here. The project is also introducing artists who many might not have come across before & perhaps to some other 4AD releases. Now I am going to play again......let my inspiration flow. Thanks to Robert Hunter without whom ........doesn't bare thinking about.

[@jmax9]

There’s something flat out life-affirming about this, love it hard.

[@jefferyetten]

the 8 people that gave this a thumbs down really just need hugs :(

[@CatLegoDiver]

Yes, a hug and a big smile. :-)

[@CatLegoDiver]

yes, just let them listen to this a couple or million times and they'll be converted. Truly a brilliant cover!

[@ncrmh]

agreed. i dislike the National but i can dig this. well done gentlemen!

[@aaronsauers6193]

Killer cover!!!!! One of the best I've ever heard of this!

[@Alcalala]

I can't even describe how good it feels to listen to this!!

[@dramado]

Amazing rendition. The orchestral break in the middle is brilliant.

[@catholicjerry8377]

constant chills up my spine

[@PaulandNature]

Beautiful. Nicely done. It is important that these songs continue. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@JamesCaseydeadheadpoet]

The best cover I've ever heard of my favorite Grateful Dead song, beautiful, well fucking done!

[@joeconti4392]

This is gorgeous-- thanks so much.

[@gregblass3328]

Amazing

[@dougk8103]

Fukin brilliant work

[@brookebrownwv]

EPIC! This is stunning.

[@calfjm]

This is insanely good THANK YOU.

[@melonhead49]

One of the greatest musical compositions ever imo

[@sasansom17]

Great track! Love that vibraphone at 1:58f.. Dug the occasional Abbey Road feel too. Great choice to get original on 4:53f. (they could've done it sooner even). And what guitar tone on 7:00f.!! (missed opportunity at 9:38 for the drums to unhinge a bit.) That synth at 10:30 and percussion afterwards---killer! And what a great choice to drop into the 'That's it for the Other One' for the percussion + symph jam!

[@WeirsBeard]

Stunning interpretation- great nod to the original studio version with some nice, Grindy heaviness.

[@TheMrCompletely]

Interesting that this is clearly a tribute to the often-denigrated original album version in everything about the arrangement & feeling of it...I like it, nicely done

[@awenindoe]

Very true. I guess it is easier for some hardcore loyalists (read 'stuck up') to ease their restrictions for a cover version. In my opinion this is better than the album version; the orchestration is much more complex and layered and it does terrapin justice. That said i can't ever get over some of the cosmic terrapins of '77 and '78

[@CatLegoDiver]

I agree. Actually more interestingly layered and dramatically presented than the original studio version which is still a standout in my books.

[@cellobus2961]

@@awenindoe Yeah, there's a tape I have, Red Rocks '78 Terrapin into One More Saturday Night, that is just mesmerizing.

[@3rdmachineage]

This is like the greatest extension of the Grateful Dead’s music …it lives

[@f.p.brocker5135]

Fantastic, nothing more to say!

[@WallofSound65]

This is really good. Note the Alhambra jam @ 8:46, performed by the Dead only on the 3/18/77 version of Terrapin (which I highly recommend you go listen to)

[@hudi42]

Beautiful rendition! Thank you for sharing

[@MrToddmacdonald2]

So good

[@zonkerd7]

There is no slouching on Their play ability, when it comes to this epic suite! Nothing less than spectacular that can only be achieved by life long incredibly well seasoned musicians and players alike! Inspiration can not help but move You brightly. How on earth 🌎 can anyone put a thumbs down on this one, as said in a previous comment, thumbs down people need a hug 🤗!

[@mattkav684]

i was going to comment it was too much of a "note for note" cover, which it seemed to be for a few minutes, but they made it their own yet stayed true to TS. outstanding. a hint of the Other One at 11:30, too!

[@guso1330]

Daniel can jammmmmm

[@strangelot]

Interviewed Daniel Rossen on his songwriting process - will post on our channel tomorrow at 2pm CST

[@oliversouthgate9248]

yes!

[@wobrien007]

Terrific "Other One" interlude from 11:22 to 12:19

[@jamesdavis8164]

B OB gamelan style

[@richardtppc]

manoooooooo, o que é isso???? APAIXONADO É APELIDO!!!

[@allanmojica6455]

ugghh id kill to see them play this live

[@crazygood4]

That was incredible. I have never heard the original but I want to now

[@anonymous_friend]

Great vocal harmonies

[@SammydesinasNL]

They did it!

[@cl8822]

Please, please post the video of this!!

[@joncaruso8425]

This is wonderful. Mostly faithful to the original, sung with a lot of heart and the instrumentation is on point! Beautiful

[@wobrien007]

Wow - that's so good I had to play it again.......damn.......

[@hashburystumble6021]

Stunning !

[@carrievk3827]

GOOSEBUMPS!

[@Jeff-S]

Awesome. And the guy with the Gibson (that looks like a Fender Jaguar) looks like Bob Weir!

[@amped1one428]

DANIEL ROSSEN AND THE NATIONAL? *ccrrieess*

[@thomonkey22]

ugh Daniel Rossen's voice. Grizzly Bear needs a new album!!

[@allanmojica6455]

[@laurijohnston5178]

It's here and it was so worth the wait

[@tayb.3417]

DUDE!!!! So awesome!!! 😭

[@johnkane1972]

Incredible. However, one should not listen to this on small computer speakers or tinny earbuds. It's symphonic, electro-sonic, a fine tonic.

[@EfiaLibellus]

Pure poetry

[@jordanadams7912]

My kid has a seriously kick ass stereo setup and some open back headphones they'll be glad to let me listen to this on. It's gonna be insane

[@MegaBoog1]

That sounds great!

[@luqueymartinez5260]

I'M DEAD WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED EARLIER ABOUT THIS

[@ericfoster5267]

I wasn't informed until 4 years AFTER you! How do you think I feel?!

[@aaronh5530]

And I just got here a month after you! Fantastic version!

[@Ropepope]

What a great cover. Definitely my favourite out of the songs released so far from the Day of the Dead. Even if it is quite true to the original, I think I actually prefer this version (this coming from a relatively big Grateful Dead fan!).

[@BruceBowman42]

This is so good.

[@richardthomashill]

I really enjoyed the reinterpretation of the second half.

[@billmcintosh220]

Inspiration...going low and not high...genius

[@cardboardu6019]

Love it, great cover, I have heard others do this song, but this was the best version. Anyone pick out where they used Josh Kaufman?

[@scottpalatnik3509]

Is there a live version of this floating around out there? If soi I would love to see it!

[@ryrocksithard]

What is wrong with the 13 people that gave this a thumbs down? Man... Sorry, your life sucks! haha! This is so incredible. I have been enjoying it since it came out. This Terrapin Suite is just incredible. It gives me goosebumps and a lump in my throat every single time. So good!!!

[@defconklaxon]

Some people just want to watch the world burn. This cover is fucking perfect. Fuck any thumbs down.

[@snackpoodle2974]

Lovin' it

[@markusschiller7653]

most beautifull!

[@JackCerro]

The "At a Siding" orchestrated section @ 10.00 is gorgeous.

[@JackCerro]

+Jack Cerro Plus they toss in a brief Other One quote, and maybe a King Soloman's Marbles quote.

[@MrGrillosClass]

This is really the best cover of this song. Better than Dead and Co.

[@scott_gerent]

what a masterpiece

[@dorygarcia212]
