The version of Bertha on Los Lobos: Just Another Band from East L.A. gives some flavour of how great a live band Los Lobos are when they stretch out.

My first Dead Concert from 1971, and a Los Lobos show in 1991 are both in my top five concerts in the last 45 years: American music, no pretension, total dedication, few boundaries, focused on the music not the ego.

Plus: David Hildago's guitar. God damn, it's good to be alive on this day.

I prefer the live version better, but this one still makes me jump in my chair. Me encanta Los Lobos

One of my favorite Dead songs (and there really aren't all that many of them) done by Los Lobos has got to be an 8 before I even hear all of it!

Yo fellow Dead Heads, this is a terrific album and the legacy of songs written by JG and others is truly up there with the angels where ole Jerry is now, serenading them with "Friend of the Devil" and most likely, they are loving it too, toking up a bit of the Green and rocking.

Damn, Old Friend Jerry, we miss you for sure.

I'd like to clarify my 10 rating ... It's not for this recording, it's for the many times I've heard Los Lobos do this song live. Sorry deadheads, but it's better than the Dead. The recording is kind of hollow. Being there, live, up and dancing, is awesome. If you ever have a chance to hear a live version, be sure to treat yourself.

Stef, Bill can't sneak anything past you, can he?

The album is all covers of Grateful Dead songs by various artists. Why did Bill play 'em back-to-back? Who can possibly know what evil lurks in his fevered, twisted mind...

Just needling you. It's a great album.

RP can play Dead and Dead covers non-stop as far as I'm concerned! {#Sunny}

Would love to hear some Scarlet Begonias.  C'mon! Its summer!

Third time's a charm on the Dead covers.  I would be quite happy if Lovett's Friend of the Devil and Joanie's BP were removed from rotation.

Likin' the string of GD covers.  This one's got something special.  I heard these guys cover Cinnamon Girl live once.  Pretty cool.  Hell, Los Lobos could cover a Vanilla Ice song and it would still sound pretty cool.

This Dead triple shot is just teasing for a fourth cover... Ripple, by Jane's Addiction! One of the best covers of all time!

I have the same strange relationship with the Dead as I do with Bob Marley - I don't particularly like the music, but I have so many friends who do (and they are the kind of friends you tend to treasure more and more as the years go on) that I've made my peace with the music.

And, frankly, let's admit it: Dead fans and Marley fans always have some herb lying around . . .
