Cracker doing TGDs Loser.

[TN_SUP]

Wow, Cracker has been my favorite band for years, plus some Campervan Beethoven, had no idea Loser was Grateful Dead.

Yep, they do a fine job of it too. Def one of the best GD cover by a non jam band.

I've heard them live and talked to them awhile after the show, can't remember if they played loser. I do remember my mom commenting on how pretty the song was during eurotrash girl. (My parents were visiting and I wasn't going to miss the show). I pretend that I'm David Lowery all the time, singing out loud.

[MauiNui]

Oh, man. I loved Cracker. Haven't thought about them in a long time! Mahalo.

[PonoBill]

A serious cover of a serious song, warning, don't watch if you are allergic to chicken skin.

My favorite cover from this entire thread.

[lucabrasi]

Heard these over the last week or so.


Caught them both mid song.....Wow!! I thought when I found out who on the second one.
I think they both work......

Love for Levon (Helm)...I liked it so much that I bought the blue ray disc...

This is a labor of love, rooted in the songs and spirit of Levon Helm. Highly recommended for fans of "real" American music.



Dozens of luminaries from rock, soul and country gathered at the Meadowlands Arena on October 3, 2012, for an incredible tribute to Levon Helm, The Band s late drummer/singer/mandolin player (who passed away in early 2012). The concert, directed by bassist Don Was, was an opportunity to say a final farewell and, in the process, raise money for the ongoing Midnight Ramble series of concerts still held at The Barn, Helm s famous home-studio in Woodstock, New York. One at a time or, sometimes, in pairs, rock-royalty took turns in the spotlight over the course of the evening, singing songs associated with Levon Helm and The Band including "Up On Crippled Creek," "The Shape I m In," "Life is a Carnival," "Ophelia," "The Weight," "Rag Mamma Rag," "I Ain t Got No Home," and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."

SUPsports that's a fine album.

I saw MMJ, Roger Waters, Amy Helm and Luscious cover Levon's "A Wide River to Cross" at Lat years Newport Folk Fest. Highlight of the night.
