    Ripple is perhaps the greatest modern popular mystical song ever written. Without a doubt the best version is the original Grateful Dead studio version, but this version is a close second. Beautifully, beautifully sung.

    • @hannahpoland4267
      @hannahpoland4267 Před 4 lety +5

      Andy Peace I agree. Mostly enjoy their live versions of almost any song. But Ripple studio version just has that raw splendor that comes from the beginning of something beautiful. I truly think they knew how special it was from the start. Jerry didn’t play it often because of how much it meant to him.

    Great job on this rendition of Jerry’s masterpiece! My uncle ,which went on to have a successful music career!
    Moved to California in the 60s and met Jerry Garcia , the two became life long friends !
    They lived under a bridge,because at the time neither one of them had any money or contacts,that would start their journey !
    My uncles career brought him back to the east !
    Jerry’s kept him mostly west coast early on !
    Loved hearing my uncle,tell me about their encounters!

    I find myself repeating myself over and over every time I listen to a AJ Lee version of any song. Give Robert Hunter credit for the words and Jerry Garcia for the music, but honestly the vocals and delivery of this great song now belongs to AJ Lee and we must never forget the Tuttles. Together they bring musical magic and meaning to a song leaving all who listen with a greater appreciation for the songs they sing and their combined talents. Larry Milby
