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.
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
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.
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 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.
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!!!!!
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!
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.
I love how Toni is using her voice, she has been an excellent guitarist and has put put some fantastic music. And this song, what great easily understood lyrics. The Dead at their best!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. ✌🏼❤️🎶
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. 🌹☮️☮️
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!”⚡️💀🌹
Toni, you seem like such a chill person. nothing seems to stress you out - well maybe oncoming freight trains like the one in the Jambalaya video - but MOST of the time you seem so relaxed. I love your guitar playing, love the vibe you put out on videos but most of all I love the music you play because YOU love the music you play. Your joy is contagious!
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.
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.
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.
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
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 💞
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!!!
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 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 🕊️💜🕊️🎶

😍🥰🥰🥰
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.
Really love this......takes me away into a dream
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. 😎🌻🌈
amazed you can still type
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

I love the way the sun shines just perfectly past her hair
Beautiful
Wonder version Toni. Only a 70 year old Guitar Playing "Dead Head" freak can really appreciate the beauty of what you just played.
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. ❤

Every once in a while, the universe gives us a beautiful troubadour. I’ve run out of words to describe her performances. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hallo ich bin Rüdi aus Deutschland. Was für eine Landschaft. Was für ein Lied. Was für eine Gitarristin. So so beautiful!!!
This brought an old Deadhead to tears...thanks so much.
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.
I wish I could tell Toni how beautifully she performed this song, and thank her for it.
I think you just did.
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.
I love how Toni is using her voice, she has been an excellent guitarist and has put put some fantastic music. And this song, what great easily understood lyrics. The Dead at their best!

@@spud13x13 Right on and thank you.❤️
This is the sound of hope.
I love Toni’s voice.
Your mellow voice blended so perfectly with the blue mountains, the blue lake, the trees and the winds in your hair. Just superb.
This woman can take a truly great song and make it even better. That is a rare talent indeed.
Bringing more beauty into the world one song at a time
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.
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
Guitar mix and playing was really nice. Excellent video work and scenery!!! Great job!
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. ✌🏼❤️🎶
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.
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. 🌹☮️☮️
Beautiful rendition of this song. Always enjoy your playing Toni. Thanks for all you do.
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)
Elle behind the camera, with much affection. Great work both of you :)
A beautiful version of a beautiful song. Bravo, young lady.
I don't know what's more beautiful... Toni, the mountains, the melody, the voice... Love it!
The lyrics, its the lyrics.
Hunter & Garcia RIP.
NFA
Toni, your voice is like honey, very smooth and easy to listen to.
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.
I hear your voice come through the music, and I hold it close as it were my own.
Liked and shared to the world.
it never ceases to amaze me how EASY she makes playing the guitar look 😮
Beautiful setting, signature guitar skills - love it when you sing - thanks for posting.
One of the best songs ever written and beautifully done.
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.

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?
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
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!
Toni, you seem like such a chill person. nothing seems to stress you out - well maybe oncoming freight trains like the one in the Jambalaya video - but MOST of the time you seem so relaxed. I love your guitar playing, love the vibe you put out on videos but most of all I love the music you play because YOU love the music you play. Your joy is contagious!
I listen to this song everyday. It's a perfect song.
My favorite dead tune by one of my favorite guitar players! Awesome.
Wow, that voice is something! Wonderful to listen to! 🥰
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.
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.
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.
One of my father's favorite songs, and nostalgic to me. You covered it well.
Holy-smoke, what a beautiful performance. ❤
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
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 💞
welcome back. I hope it was worth the trip. If not what do you think it would take to make it that way.
I'm speechless. I cannot conceive of a more perfect way to cover this beautiful song. Bravo!
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!
Beautiful rendition Toni! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
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.
A good example of competent recording and performance skills. Oh and the location is nice too.
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!
Amazing rendition Toni. I am gonna sit down an relearn it with your picking technique. Happy Tuesday! 😄🥰
Damned fine rendition. Hunter's words came cutting through the fog. Thank you.
Love watching Toni play. And nice to see her voice featured in this one.
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!
Beautiful on all counts.Thank you Toni!
Toni.... Every time I listen to this,,, and, It's been a while,,, And, It's Always been a Ball.... Tks bme
This is one of my favorite Toni Takeovers. I must have watched this a thousand times by now!!
Such a beautiful song, covered by a beautiful ❤️❤️ lady!
What a gem!
Sometimes music can move me on a journey , escape the moment , and leave me somehow spirituality fulfilled!
Toni Aced it ! TY
Glorious! I'm 90 minutes from Tahoe near Sacramento. What a backdrop for "Ripple."
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.
🤯🤯🤯That GUITAR!!!! OMG it is AMAZING!! Dread Naughts usually have sound but this one is off scale
Toni is my second-fav guitarist (only after Sir Brian May).
I heard your voice all the way over in New Zealand. Isn't technology amazing. Well done Toni.
Same
that makes 3 of us kiwis@@MrDrewseph
NZ viewer number three. Think we need a few more to convince them to tour here though...
One day maybe ....@@MathsYknow
4th kiwi has just tuned in.
Been listening for years.
Great musician! 🎼🎤🎸🪕
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
One of the absolute cleanest pickers around. And Toni's golden voice was just perfect for this.
Great rendition. So pure and natural. Also, nice shot at Lake Tahoe overlooking Emerald Bay 😎 I used to call that home.
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!!!
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
Beautiful !!!
Just beautiful. Some subtle and awesome little folksy flourishes w/the guitar in there as well. Really enjoyable.
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

My favorite Dead song played and sung beautifully in a beautiful surrounding! Thank you!
It's probably the best, most heartfelt, and authentic cover of this song I've ever heard... and I've heard many.. well done young lady..
A GEM, played by another GEM! Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏
Sweet voice Toni doing a classic song. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Beautiful song , beautiful scenery, beautiful lady!!😊
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the beautiful song.
It was great waking up to this on the second day of Christmas in Germany, thank you!
Fantastic Toni thank you for sharing 🤗😘🤗
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 🕊️💜🕊️🎶

One of my favourite songs. Pure magic
