wow it's been awhile.. the last bit of soloing in this... it's been awhile since a solo like that just really took me somewhere... then brought it all back. What a long strange trip it's been.
Had a chip on my shoulder re: this cat until about 5:40 when the rear booster arpeggios hit and he breaks loose from his atmosphere of competence into something a little weirder and rawer. I dig it. Dipping that chip in some salsa and eating it.
OMG!!! Not sure what cosmic country is but I'm not only officially blown away I'm a musician who is going to be diving in head first. Absolutely fantastic solo building to peak!!!! That's how it's done
With Billy Strings blowing up, hopefully you're next! Can't get enough of that cosmic country. Your Dead covers remind me of the years Jerry played that alligator strat. Great tone
Saw an Instagram ad with you and was sold on this performance! Bought a ticket two hours away from me in Asheville NC at the grey eagle! So excited to see you man!
His voice is fine, singing and tone are great. I think he just needs to make sure he always hugs the mic and be a little more deliberate in his execution. His playing is beautiful and inspiring.
Excellent. Perfect tribute/DD stamp vibe on that. Loved it. With Daniel D, Marcus K, Billy S around, I feel wonderful about the future of guitar music.
Great interpretation and breath of fresh air to a Dead standard. Ok, I'll admit it, this "Old and In The Way", dyed in the wool Deadhead since 1970 is blown away. It does the heart good to hear the next generation discovering and bringing new energy to the Dead set. I'm onboard this train!
Just scrolling through youtube and came across this. I am more of a rock and blues guy myself. That being said damn dude that is some real amazing playing and preforming. Most arm chair quarterbacks won't actually realize how great and smooth your guitar playing and vocals were. It is one thing to be a good guitarist. It is another thing to be that good in a live band setting with so many variables you can't control. You sir have made a fan outta me.
When life starts to get back to normal, coming to see you play will be one of the top 10 first thing I on my to do list . Hopefully you will jam out Bertha and other Greatful Dead songs. I have never heard someone pick a guitar as beautifully as you do. The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame will have a spot for you one day, just you wait and see my friend. Jerry Garcia would be so proud!!!!!
Sold to a gray-haired Dead Head! At first, I think, "Tight band. Clean vocals. Miss Jerry's magic." About to click-off when Daniel shifts to upward gears -- Hey, wait -- is that his "cosmic" stuff?" ... Holy S}h{i}t! ... Out comes my goose-bumps! What is that?! Evidence of resurrection? Ghost possession? I click, "Subscribe," and pray, "The flame always was, is NEW-ly alive, and will always be."
Don’t sleep on pre-70s dead. The band with pigpen has a sound and feel unlike any after his passing. Two from the vault IMO are some of the best recordings they made!
Check out Americn Beauty and Working Man's Dead too! Both classic americana with plenty of country influence. Garcia was an accomplished steel pedal player
Spectacular voice and playing. You have such a tasteful ear for music! I like the way that you play enough of the original soloing while adding your own tasteful riffs. You make it your own just like Norah Jones did with Hank Williams's Cold, Cold, Heart.
Great interview even with RUclips not being able to handle the quality, had to F it up for the rest of us so We the Peons would be protected from enjoying it at full strength.
Great version of one of my favorite Dead songs! Terrific solos and what a tight band. Once the plague is over, I've got to take a trip to Nashville to hear you in person. Also, hoping you make it Boulder in the near future.
You really have a distinctive style in everything you do, and this is no exception. I really really dig this one! Glad to support your channel my friend!
Wish i knew the proper music terms to describe the way you perfectly transitioned back to the "riff" of the song after the solo...sounded just like Jerry!!!!!!!
Bravo! Just learned of you, love your passion, can’t wait to hear more of your GD versions, can’t wait to see you do a me and my uncle into big river. Also digging your original material!
A: Hope Mr. Weir gets to hear this. B: Once we can travel, I see you fitting right in for a date at Jorma’s Fur Peach Ranch. Unless you’ve been there already.
Love the way you meld chicken pickin country with Grateful Dead style. What is your pedal of choice for the auto wah Jerry Garcia style? I tend to go between a Boss dynamic filter and a Mutron iii envelope.
You have really got the groove down as far as the Grateful Dead are concerned.Take the vocals away(no offense this is just for a hypothetical situation) make this instrumental and it would sound like the dead jamming with no vocals that's how close it sounds. You've gained a new subscriber.
This is incredible! If you get a free minute you should check out Matt Rae here on the you tube. He’s a huge dead fan and he is an incredible style. Hell of a bender! I get a lot of my twang/ dead inspiration from you both! Some kind of collaboration between you two would be incredible! Keep up the awesome content man!
Love seeing Grateful Dead covers like this. When an artist brings a whole new energy to a song, making it their own. Excellent.
I've probably watched this video more than 1,000 times. I listen to it every morning when I wake up haha
That means the world! #COSMICCOUNTRY
this is what i show people when i tell them that daniel is the BEST
Same here man same here listen at least twice every day (~);}(~);}(~);}🔥
Lively, just lively; and just lovely.
A fantastic Bertha. well played. thanks for sharing.
Are you kidding me?????? Totally blown away by your playing and passion!!!!!!!!!
wow it's been awhile.. the last bit of soloing in this... it's been awhile since a solo like that just really took me somewhere... then brought it all back. What a long strange trip it's been.
Sweet!! Twangy Americana Hippy Swing Dance Music!
Had a chip on my shoulder re: this cat until about 5:40 when the rear booster arpeggios hit and he breaks loose from his atmosphere of competence into something a little weirder and rawer. I dig it. Dipping that chip in some salsa and eating it.
Pass the salsa!
This video sends me into another realm of happiness🪐
OMG!!! Not sure what cosmic country is but I'm not only officially blown away I'm a musician who is going to be diving in head first. Absolutely fantastic solo building to peak!!!! That's how it's done
❤❤❤ So happy the GD vibe transcends and hopefully reaches new audiences - so much awesome music to share and bring people together … ❤❤❤
Next level country 😎
(~);} I'm absolutely in Love with this! Great Job Daniel Donato.. Keep doing what your doing brothaa! (~);}
With Billy Strings blowing up, hopefully you're next! Can't get enough of that cosmic country. Your Dead covers remind me of the years Jerry played that alligator strat. Great tone
Saw them playing together in Nashville at Billy’s String The Halls. Incredible
Slayin' it and slingin' it - the Master of the Telecaster. Tight band, Daniel....very tight band.
Thank you!
Far out! Donato! Cool!
Thank you, Todd! Make sure to sign up for the Cosmic Country Club!!! #COSMICCOUNTRY 🤠

Daniel great as always. Very talented young man, yet seems humble and we'll grounded. Good on you!
Thank you kindly! Stay Cosmic! #COSMICCOUNTRY
You really jam Daniel and the band is great too👍🏻🌹❤️
Thank you, Cathy! Cosmic Country Clubbbb! #COSMICCOUNTRY 🤠

Daniel we all know your level of mastery, but your band is so damn tight. And your rhythm guitarist is so tasteful. These guys complement you so well.
Appreciate it very much friend ☮️
What a cool groove, what a tight band. You've got the magic. And your voice is Fine, with a capital F.
Thank you, Prem! Make sure to subscribe if you like to keep it Cosmic! #COSMICCOUNTRY ☯️🤠☯️
@@danieldonato Yea, I'll be following you. I predict: "Someday your name is gonna' be in lights..."
Excellent. Perfect tribute/DD stamp vibe on that. Loved it.
With Daniel D, Marcus K, Billy S around, I feel wonderful about the future of guitar music.
Don't forget Brandon Niederauer (TAZ)
Wow! Fine playing, very unique sound. Great job!
Love this dude.. Saw him in Nashville this year and he killed it.. love this version of Bertha....
I really enjoyed this. Thank you Daniel.

This is great! Huge Dead fan from Germany here

The Telecater Tone fits that solo perfectly! Very Nice!
On point! You guys are very tight. Well done fellas!
Thank you, Dustin! Cosmic Country Clubbbb! #COSMICCOUNTRY 🤠
Awesome playing, loved the new album dude. You've also inspired me to delve deeper into the dead's discography
That means the world! Start at Europe 72 for the live stuff. #COSMICCOUNTRY ☯️🤠☯️
Check out the Positively Garcia page on RUclips. High quality gold in there.
3:10 in and they’re cooking with gas! ruclips.net/video/oTFFRxKtW18/видео.html

Love this review. Thank you kindly. Keep it Cosmic!

Thank you, Sean! Stay Cosmic! #COSMICCOUNTRY 🤠
Saw you with Palmisano today. You have a new middle-aged Deadhead as a fan and a subscriber 😎
Great interview even with RUclips not being able to handle the quality, had to F it up for the rest of us so We the Peons would be protected from enjoying it at full strength.
make that TWO middle aged deadheads as fans and subscribers :)
And make that one 18 year old subbed 😉
Add a third!
Same reason I’m here! That boy good
bro you are KILLER
YEEHAW! #COSMICCOUNTRY
Great grande wow!
Very kind! Thank you! Cosmic Country Clubbbb! #COSMICCOUNTRY 🤠
Smooth as AF, really tasty chops. Like to get Daniel out to Phil's place in NorCal once the pandemic days are behind us. Be well-received.
I had to mooooove, really had to move to this jam.
OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE! Cosmic Country Clubbbb! #COSMICCOUNTRY 🤠
I'm a sucker for any Garcia/ Hunter tune. That was great dude.
Thank you - ME TOOOO! Don't forget to join the Cosmic Country Club, yeeeeehaw danieldonato.com/cosmic-collective

Watched your interviews with Joe and thought I better check you out . Nice , someone new for me to listen to .
Thanks I needed this .
Nice dude 👍totally digging your unique style. It really made me mooooove.
You fucking rule dude,holy shit.loved it
Wish i knew the proper music terms to describe the way you perfectly transitioned back to the "riff" of the song after the solo...sounded just like Jerry!!!!!!!
So nice. Heard you on a Kitchen Dwellers live show, so popping in to get you into the rotation. Nice guitar work brother!!!
Bravo! Just learned of you, love your passion, can’t wait to hear more of your GD versions, can’t wait to see you do a me and my uncle into big river. Also digging your original material!

Keep on truckin' ! #COSMICCOUNTRY ☯️🤠☯️
A: Hope Mr. Weir gets to hear this. B: Once we can travel, I see you fitting right in for a date at Jorma’s Fur Peach Ranch. Unless you’ve been there already.
I’m getting crazy Lindsey bucking ham vibes man sickkk
love him! #COSMICCOUNTRY
Man from about 6:00 in I was grinnin' like a mofo. I thought Los Lobos did this song justice, but...
#cosmiccountryclub YEEHAW!
Where’s the other dude on keyboard? Next level
This is the first time I realized this, but I think Daniel actually bears a resemblance young Albert Lee.
Really good man I like to have no where did put down my bass and buy an electric, most likely will
I heard Jerry sing those words in that order a few times ;)
LOL I bet you did in person ?! I am jealous
Love the way you meld chicken pickin country with Grateful Dead style. What is your pedal of choice for the auto wah Jerry Garcia style? I tend to go between a Boss dynamic filter and a Mutron iii envelope.
Thanks! A QTron! YEEHAW! #COSMICCOUNTRY
Check out the Keeley Neutrino too, for me (who can't afford an original Mutron) best $149. Ever spent
Test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house
Until the sun goes down
Till it go down
wish Jerry could hear this
Just so good
Am I wrong or could maybe this guy sing the hell out of some Brent Mydland style vocals? Even some Warren Haynes vocals?
You have really got the groove down as far as the Grateful Dead are concerned.Take the vocals away(no offense this is just for a hypothetical situation) make this instrumental and it would sound like the dead jamming with no vocals that's how close it sounds. You've gained a new subscriber.
This is incredible! If you get a free minute you should check out Matt Rae here on the you tube. He’s a huge dead fan and he is an incredible style. Hell of a bender! I get a lot of my twang/ dead inspiration from you both! Some kind of collaboration between you two would be incredible! Keep up the awesome content man!
**he has incredible style lol!
I can't make your amp out, is a late 60's blackface? Your sound is perfect
great playing. but those harmonies tho
love it Daniel! maybe not hog all the solo spots though. sure your rhythm guitarist would like a bend or two
That would be cool! I'll ask Nick if he wants any :) #COSMICCOUNTRY ☯️🤠☯️
The rest of you guys enjoy, I’ve tried to get into this band but every song I’ve heard sounds as generic as any other Dead cover band.
Wtf is that voice
