So glad we were able to capture this beautiful moment right before the sunset near Tahoe. Just as Toni was finishing the song and I was putting the camera away, some locals were walking up to watch the sunset at this spot-also fans of the Dead. We jammed and talked with them for a while until it got dark, and then we all went on our way. A great memory! Hope y’all enjoy Toni’s take on Ripple. :) -Elle
If you ever have a chance, please stop by and perform at former Rancho Olompali (now a State Park) near Novato, CA. This is where the Dead hung out, sang, and lived in the late 60s.
We played this song at my dad's funeral. I haven't been able to listen without a tear in my eye since. Dad would have absolutely loved y'all. He was a huge fan of folk rock and pretty female voices. He passed in March of 05. He will always be with me listening to your music.
Toni…so gentle, peaceful, quieting…sweet lullaby lady. Easy playing, true to every note…clear and clean as mountain air. Blessed. Gifted. Thank you, ma’am! More please. Much more
Toni, all I can say is ..... more please. You are one my favorite guitarists in the entire world. And, your voice just makes it a perfect combination. More please.
Toni is just an incredible guitarist. It's as if she's barely pressing the guitar string to make the guitar sound. Her touch is just incredible. Not forced.
Thank you very much for your comment. I read and reread your words with pleasure because I understand. But I am sad that only 17 people liked my comment. Toni is an extraordinary musician. She plays with a pick and no one seems to notice her performance. She plays in the open air. This video is beautiful, with that sun. And what's that? It hasn't changed the world. - To all the beautiful melancholic souls.
It almost makes me want to cry... the beautiful scenery background, the music and the energy I feel through my computer of Jerry listening down and smiling while you play and sing this song. This is what makes me want to learn how to play my guitar.
For my 15th birthday, in 1972, my older brother gave me a copy of Workingmans Dead and took a friend and I to see my first concert, the Grateful Dead in KCK 11/72. Over 50 years later Hunter’s words and Garcia’s music still inspire me and I’m still a DeadHead. I’m pleased younger generations continue to be inspired too! Thank you for this beautiful version! “Let there be songs to fill the air!”⚡️💀🌹
Thank you Toni, for doing Ripple today. Beautiful timing, My Father in law just passed couple hours ago in his living room. Larry was an old blues man, just turned 79 this month.❤❤❤
I am sorry for your family's loss, John. This song connects me to my dad, who finished his song nine years ago. The hurt never goes away, but the edges wear down over time. Please accept the love and condolences of a random man on the internet.
It's amazing the life these songs have. Looking at Toni I'm guessing she wasn't even born when Ripple was released. Great songs have a life of their own. Keep the spirit alive. 🌹☮️☮️
Thank you Toni, always appreciate your talent. The fact that you’re playing one of my favorite tunes at one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen, Priceless. Thanks Elle for capturing it. ✌🏼❤️🎶
When I was 18, I met Jerry Garcia twice. Both times it was around 2am in the morning. The Grateful Dead would be performing at the Carrier Dome, and after the show, they’d end-up at my truck stop. I would come inside from working on a tractor trailer, just as Jerry would come strolling out of the diner, with the check in his hand.
Toni, this was the tune playing from the ICU nursing station as I walked back into this world from a stroke back in 2014. Rob & his great-great grandpa would approve of your rendition 💞
Thanks for doing this song. It's my favorite version. You are an amazing guitar player. I'm an old guy, and you give me hope for the future of American music.
As always , simply beautiful talent! You girls seem to know what we want to hear, and how we want to hear it done. The sounds of the music you play soothes my heart ❤️❤️❤️are
My baby brother passed away October 24, 2023. Forever 55 ❤️ He was a true Dead Head. My heart will be forever now be broken 💔. SAL was my first friend and best friend through it ALL up until he passed. He was nicknamed LightninSal⚡ Appropriately!!! I love your version and Sal would too!!!
Wise choice to cover this particular song! This is an absolute classic. RIP to the poet who scribed the unforgettable lyrics and the Dead musicians who made this song a masterpiece.
Beautifully done Toni. You always pick my absolute favorite songs. We are probably 30 years apart in age, and we love the same songs. Maybe America should take note: Start focusing on our similarities instead of our differences.
Hi Toni, this is just superb - mistake, nonsense. You can do no wrong! Beautiful song, beautiful rendition. Have a wonderful holiday season, you and Elle are always a bright light in my sky. Stay safe be happy
When I play it and someone tries to point out any misses I just say that is my version! My song fav's to play in order,,,Ripple, The Weight, Into the Mystic, Clay Pigeons, In Spite of Ourselves, Galway Girl (Earle)....on and on. Then my own.
I just played this song yesterday at a celebration for the life of a friend who recently died. He loved the Grateful Dead. Toni this version of yours is exquisitely played. I have goosebumps all over. Love you!
Ah, Toni, you made me cry again. I can't play this song without tears, as it immediately brings my dad back for me. And this was just beautifully done. Thank you, and Happy Christmas!
Im a huge dead fan, and a huge toni fan, ive always dreamed of playing with her some day. Man can dream right? Me and my dad would sit and listen to the dead all the time. I miss him ah god dam it now I'm crying.
Toni plays the perfect song. I only hope in 50 more years, some equally talented young virtuoso covers it equally as well. Love to Toni, love to Jerry/Hunter and the Dead
Stunning but simple Version....love it ❤ Merry Christmas to all of you (Reina, Josh Lee Turner, Allison Young, Carson McKee, Mary Spender)! Thank you all, your music brightened up my life ❤
This song in particular always creates goose bumps. I worked for Jerry. There was a shadow effect. I followed him around, that may be so, but how did the others become part of my life ? Life is so strange.
Thanks for posting this Toni. One of my favorite songs from middle school and high school. Makes me think of my friend Mike White who died from suicide this year. Used to listen to this with him. RIP Mike you were a great friend.
All the live Dead recordings have hesitations that are passed over like so many Ripples. This is beautiful, Toni. Don’t doubt it! You’re playing live with “the gold of sunshine.”
I never really appreciated this song until I heard your version It gives it a different meaning, I now love this song because of you, It actually makes me cry Beautiful
I lived in San Francisco and in Sonoma County in the late 60’s early 70’s and I played this tune for years along with so many acoustic songs that I wrote myself, and this is still one of my favorites and it moves me deeply to hear such a beautiful rendition 🕊️💜🕊️🎶
Bravo! That was wonderful, literally music to my ears. Loved the sound of that 6 string and you played it very well and so effortlessly. The backdrop was gorgeous, your voice was crystal clear and did justice to the song. What a great way to start my morning. Thanks!
Great job on one of my all time favourite tunes. Also a favourite of my brother's. He just passed away from hellish battle with the monster we call cancer. Thank you so much for doing this.
You have been very faithful. I have heard your voice come through the music and held it near for years now. Thank you so very much for this offering. I can't explain the feelings of exhilaration and validation I get when you play Jerry's music. You are a precious soul.
Great camera work! Flare of the sun is dramatic... but you can still see details in the shadows. Magnificent mountain. Beautiful lake... and Toni making music. This video transported me far from here.
How nice to start the day listening to Toni and his guitar, this Grateful Dead song is also one of my favorites and Toni made me want to take my guitar and go play it. Thanks for reminding me!
Wow, Toni, You just took this old hippy back to his long ago strange trips of stumblin around the country, with the Dead..... Thank You Toni, You are so, so talented!!!!!
You got me flashing back to summer holidays when I was a college student hiking through the Siskiyou’s and Sierra Nevadas listening to Neil Young and the Dead.
Amazing! Adore Tahoe, this song, and you both! I play this song almost weekly, have seen some of my favorite bands do it, and this is still so heartfelt and fresh. Bravo!
Hi Toni❤ I love it when you play Blaze and now the Dead, it's so damn pretty I can listen all day. There's so much Beauty in this offering I had to repeat it several times 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
WOW! SO glad to come back to your amazing music, & what a beautiful rendition of one of my all-time faves. Brought me to tears. Jerry is really smiling now, as is Robert Hunter, both of whom I had the great pleasure of meeting. Thanks for all the beautiful music! You two are the bomb!

Miss Toni plays & sings & makes my ❤ sing too.
Thank you Miss Toni .
Love it!
I'm supposed to be sleeping, now I'm happy crying. Thx❤
If you ever have a chance, please stop by and perform at former Rancho Olompali (now a State Park) near Novato, CA. This is where the Dead hung out, sang, and lived in the late 60s.
As a road warrior of over 300 Dead shows (71-95) I just love when young musicians carry the torch.
Thank you for your service!
Wow I can’t imagine the amazing memories you must have 🥹🐢💀🎸
thank U for keepin a seat warm on the bus .i love hearing from ole Dheads as much as meeting new young ones . Peace On .
Write the book while you still remember. 😎🌻🌈
Beautiful job Toni. Somewhere Jerry is smiling at this rendition.
What about Robert. I love his story about how this song came about.
I love this. ❤

May your father RIP. Another Deadhead to the spirit world.
Wonder version Toni. Only a 70 year old Guitar Playing "Dead Head" freak can really appreciate the beauty of what you just played.
Toni…so gentle, peaceful, quieting…sweet lullaby lady. Easy playing, true to every note…clear and clean as mountain air. Blessed. Gifted. Thank you, ma’am! More please. Much more
I wish I could tell Toni how beautifully she performed this song, and thank her for it.
I think you just did.
Every once in a while, the universe gives us a beautiful troubadour. I’ve run out of words to describe her performances. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Toni, all I can say is ..... more please.
You are one my favorite guitarists in the entire world. And, your voice just makes it a perfect combination. More please.

There's something so deeply moving about Toni's voice. As always her guitar playing is just so lovely. What a perfect cover of a wonderful song.
She is a classic folk artist.
It almost makes me want to cry... the beautiful scenery background, the music and the energy I feel through my computer of Jerry listening down and smiling while you play and sing this song. This is what makes me want to learn how to play my guitar.
This woman can take a truly great song and make it even better. That is a rare talent indeed.
I love the way the sun shines just perfectly past her hair
Beautiful
Hallo ich bin Rüdi aus Deutschland. Was für eine Landschaft. Was für ein Lied. Was für eine Gitarristin. So so beautiful!!!
Bringing more beauty into the world one song at a time
Had me in tears, this was was my brothers favorite song, he passed about a year ago and I miss him dearly.
🤗
Sorry for your loss. I lost my brother forty years ago, Tears still flow.

This is the sound of hope.
it never ceases to amaze me how EASY she makes playing the guitar look 😮

I hear your voice come through the music, and I hold it close as it were my own.
Liked and shared to the world.
A beautiful version of a beautiful song. Bravo, young lady.
Beautiful rendition of this song. Always enjoy your playing Toni. Thanks for all you do.
Your mellow voice blended so perfectly with the blue mountains, the blue lake, the trees and the winds in your hair. Just superb.
I love Toni’s voice.

Thanks for doing this song. It's my favorite version. You are an amazing guitar player. I'm an old guy, and you give me hope for the future of American music.
Beautiful setting, signature guitar skills - love it when you sing - thanks for posting.

One "thumbs-up" just isn't enough for the smiles you bring with your music.
I came here to say the same! At least we can comment AND thumbs up. Aren't these two just the best?
I think we should petition RUclips to allow us to give another thumbs-up every time we watch these great vids. I think I would be at 10 or so by now.
One of the BEST Covers of this song I've ever heard. And I was around to buy the album right after its Release Date, back in the Day. (1970)
Living in The City during 60’s and on thru the 70’s, the Grateful Dead’s Ripple…Toni touches my heart singing it, Love the Dead, love Toni
Wise choice to cover this particular song! This is an absolute classic. RIP to the poet who scribed the unforgettable lyrics and the Dead musicians who made this song a masterpiece.
My favorite dead tune by one of my favorite guitar players! Awesome.
Beautifully done Toni. You always pick my absolute favorite songs. We are probably 30 years apart in age, and we love the same songs. Maybe America should take note: Start focusing on our similarities instead of our differences.

all alone here on xmas night, but I’ve got Toni serenading the sweet grateful dead for company
Guitar mix and playing was really nice. Excellent video work and scenery!!! Great job!
Im a huge dead fan, and a huge toni fan, ive always dreamed of playing with her some day. Man can dream right? Me and my dad would sit and listen to the dead all the time. I miss him ah god dam it now I'm crying.

Love watching Toni play. And nice to see her voice featured in this one.
One of the absolute cleanest pickers around. And Toni's golden voice was just perfect for this.
One of the best songs ever written and beautifully done.
Thanks, y'all 🙏🏻
Great version of "Ripple", and a stunning backdrop to Toni's playing and singing.
Be good to you 🤍
This is one of my favorite Toni Takeovers. I must have watched this a thousand times by now!!
Beautiful rendition Toni! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
Stunning but simple Version....love it ❤
Merry Christmas to all of you (Reina, Josh Lee Turner, Allison Young, Carson McKee, Mary Spender)!
Thank you all, your music brightened up my life ❤
Sweet voice Toni doing a classic song. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
This song in particular always creates goose bumps. I worked for Jerry. There was a shadow effect. I followed him around, that may be so, but how did the others become part of my life ? Life is so strange.
A good example of competent recording and performance skills. Oh and the location is nice too.
Thanks for posting this Toni. One of my favorite songs from middle school and high school. Makes me think of my friend Mike White who died from suicide this year. Used to listen to this with him. RIP Mike you were a great friend.
All the live Dead recordings have hesitations that are passed over like so many Ripples. This is beautiful, Toni. Don’t doubt it! You’re playing live with “the gold of sunshine.”
Man I love this, how raw and untarnished by production Toni's voice is, along with her exemplary guitar
Raw voice is Toni's attractiveness
My soul is sick and tired of professional voice.
@@한국인k씨yeah me too
I'm speechless. I cannot conceive of a more perfect way to cover this beautiful song. Bravo!
What a gem!
Sometimes music can move me on a journey , escape the moment , and leave me somehow spirituality fulfilled!
Toni Aced it ! TY
I never really appreciated this song until I heard your version
It gives it a different meaning, I now love this song because of you,
It actually makes me cry
Beautiful
Holy-smoke, what a beautiful performance. ❤
What a great rendition of a great song by a wonderful musician and young lady. A magical moment, for sure, and very lucky site seerers!
Amazing rendition Toni. I am gonna sit down an relearn it with your picking technique. Happy Tuesday! 😄🥰
I lived in San Francisco and in Sonoma County in the late 60’s early 70’s and I played this tune for years along with so many acoustic songs that I wrote myself, and this is still one of my favorites and it moves me deeply to hear such a beautiful rendition 🕊️💜🕊️🎶
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the beautiful song.
Thank You... Sung this song to My Baby boy... he was six weeks early and in the NICU.... beautiful.... This path is for your steps alone

Beautifully performed,Toni ,you help so many people feel better with your music!❤
