Grateful Shred - "Don't Ease Me In" and More Live | 04/03/19 | The Relix Session |

Grateful Shred plays some classic Grateful Dead covers at Relix studios on 04/03/19.
1. Shining Star
2. Don't Ease Me In
Los Angeles-based Grateful Shred manage to channel that elusive Dead vibe: wide-open guitar tones, effortless three-part vocal harmonies, choogling beats, and yes, plenty of tripped out, Shredded solos. The look, the sound, the atmosphere. It’s uncanny. “It’s more of a ‘take’ on the Dead than a tribute band,” says bassist Dan Horne. “We end up sounding almost more like the Dead because we approach it in this free-spirited way.”

Best vocal harmonies of any dead related/cover group ever. These guys shine and Mapache is fantastic. Roots Americana at its finest/ can also make you want to drop acid and let it all hang out.

[@mobiditch6848]

Just like early 70’s...acoustic dead, new riders...mescaline Northern California asaaaaahH...summer, the smell of dry grass, cherry incense and honeysuckle.

[@elliotboswell3446]

For sure and “Hey Garrett!”

shining star really took me by surprise.

best version of shining star i have ever heard. one of those songs that just feels like a part of humanity, timeless.

[@TheReal7Bit]

Dude's vocals resembles Jerry's so much. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

[@alexsinquefield6961]

personally think this is one of the best songs iv'e ever heard, great job

[@jonathanschneider8441]

Best boy band ever!

[@Neros_Neckbeard]

I just keep coming back to this. Probably one of the best renditions/songs I've ever heard. I love you guys. Please come to the east coast

[@donnalynneful]

I listen to this almost everyday, never tiring!!

[@Kingfish179]

Just found out about these guys - best Dead band around!

[@mumbles215]

Upside down resonator? Brilliant. Sublime vocals

[@MistuhCoolio]

Wow, these guys are fantastic. What a beautiful cover of "Shining Star." I'd say it's on par with some of Jerry's versions of it. I wish Dead and Co would cover it. I feel that would be beautiful and right in JM's range.

[@siscoismyhomey]

D&C has been going deeper into the catalog than I expected in the three shows they've played of summer tour so far.

[@the_Texas_Bandit]

who ?

[@mumbles215]

Right. sorry but JM is a joke. I could never watch that. Being back Furthur

[@lincolnglover8823]

Lotta balls even trying. I’m here for it. Beautiful

[@scottlambert3878]

God Bless Grateful Shred 🙏🌞

[@MrMarckeedee]

These guys are too good to be a novelty cover-band act.

[@graysingleton6456]

Good thing the music plays the band...

[@RandomVelocity]

Then they need to write their own great songs. Otherwise they are just a really good cover band.

[@dmeek20]

Musicians either play music that they love and believe in, or they play music that will get them rich. Some get to do both. Whether it's their original or a cover, they are incredibly passionate about what they are putting out, and I can celebrate that.

[@samscribner8633]

@@RandomVelocity They do make their own music. Check out Mapache, its very very good

[@pnoe1]

So glad I found this. Missed these guys at skull and roses by a day then went back down to catch them last month. This was also my wedding song.

[@Hamsterjovialkillsyou]

Please put it on a record guys!!

[@219Dave]

Scott Begonias This is actually a cover of Shining Star by the Manhattans. The EWF song Shining Star is a totally different tune.

[@dougpotosky4102]

These guys got the vibe and the chemistry! Playing music for the music! Be great when they play some orginal music. They are so much more then a Dead band! Ps. Hey guys? My good friend has over 200 orginal songs. Thinking you guys would dig his music!

[@alpeters408]

Beautiful.

[@j.cordellsteinmetz9219]

Great covers guys. Respect. How about some originals for old times sake.

[@jubenville00]

Does anyone know the chord structure they’re playing in this version. Can’t seem to find it online. Thank you in advance 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@matthebert007]

Is that a "left handed" resonator?😄

[@patmandew22]

Haha ya I noticed that too, but actually it looks to be a 'normal- righty' resonator guitar, but he's just playing it upsidedown (:
