Dude you are incredible... thanks for sharing your talent and Jerry's music with us. I know I appreciate it.

I thought this was the first time I had ever listened to your music, but I read through the comments and apparently 3 years ago I left a message, saying how much I dug it. And I still dig it. :)

fantastic cover

Great vocals!

I have told you this before and I'm tellin you again, your videos are great. Keep on keepin on, wish there was more like you for sure..

I finally got this down smoothly playing with you in this video. It's great to play along with another guitar and your singing is critical. Cuz I can't sing at all! Great stuff. I know it's been around on here a long time. Thanks and great job on your cover of this Dead classic.

Very nice, thanks!!

In Spain, the great Jerry always had fans too. I enjoy all his songs. I did not think that Althea could sound good with only one guitar, but it sounds very good! Beautiful arrangement. Congratulations and thanks.

You are I can't even say it; I cannot even visualize.. Beyond talented. Thank you.

I listened to your cover of Peggy-O and loved it...........but Althea deserves a "tip of the cap". Well done. It doesn't have to sound exactly like Jerry to deserve props. Nicely done.

This is such a great song, man! Great work on an amazing song...love it dude!

i was named after this song. no joke :)

Thank you so much for posting this! I almost gave up on this tune until I saw your version.

great cover. i love your voice.

SO glad I clicked on your link. I've been trying to learn this on and off for a couple of months and you have really inspired me to nail it. Thank you (from Nottingham, England)

nice! thanks for sharing this with us, brotha!

Like this.You got it right...Open notes are all there..Nicely done...

Thanks for Posting Bro. Althea is one of my Fav's and after watching this I'm gonna give it a try. I dig your step up!!!

Thanks man. I've been soloing to your version. love the tempo! :)

Best cover I've seen of this song. Jerry would be proud. Keep pickin on brother!

I love this!! keep on putting it out there!!

great job man. am enjoying your vids and learning some from them. thanks for sharing them!

Oh my God!!! That was SO AWESONE

lovely to hear it played, so feeling and simply on acoustic your singing is beautifully phrased

I listened all the way through. If I hadn't listened dozens of times to various Dead versions I'd be even more impressed. Nicely covered. A beautiful song that you've shown can stand up without an awesome band. Everybody needs an Althea. I wonder If I could find her, I wonder, could I get her to wear the scarlet begonias, and could I let her pass by. Just wonderin'

***** Actually I'm married to the only one I want or need (even if I can't seem to get her to appreciate the Dead). I love the way the Dead could find a good groove and just stay with it and work it over real good, rather than find it for an instant and quickly leave it like most groups (even the other great ones). One exception might be McCartney's "Let Me Roll It". Rock On Brother.

Thanks for sharing. You are an incredible talent!

Superlike!! Love the acoustics!

Great gob man. Althea is in my top ten and I also enjoy playing it very much. (~);}

good to see you back here man!!

Thumbs down folk are jealous, that's all. Screw 'em and play on!

Well done sir!!!!!!!!!

I found your channel through a Dead Covers Project link. Prepare to become really popular! Thanks for your wonderful takes on the best music in the world.

Excellent job man!

Very cool!

Thanks I'm trying to learn this on my big bad Martin Guitar after watching you!

Very nicely done! A nice tribute to both Garcia & Hunter "When Love with unconfined wings Hovers within my Gates; And my divine Althea brings To whisper at the Grates: When I lye tangled in her haire, And fetter'd to her eye; The Birds, that wanton in the Aire, Know no such Liberty." - Richard Lovelace (1618-1658) from poem "To Althea From Prison"

You sound great, dude! Keep on rockin and posting.

Nice job ! And your guitar sounds amazing !

dude awesome job!

You sound awesome, great voice and take on this classic

i'm a huge dead head so i really listen to covers but this dude is incredible!
