Ripple - Grateful Dead cover by Toni Lindgren

“Ripple” by The Grateful Dead, covered by Toni Lindgren

Learned this tune for a friend's wedding recently and thought it'd be a good one to record while I was passing through Tahoe on the way back home. Messed up a little bit on the last verse, but it's real, y'know? Shoutout to Fallen Leaf Lake for being an absolute beauty and making the sunset look extra nice, and Elle for shooting this one for me.

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

As a road warrior of over 300 Dead shows (71-95) I just love when young musicians carry the torch.

Beautiful job Toni. Somewhere Jerry is smiling at this rendition.

One "thumbs-up" just isn't enough for the smiles you bring with your music.

[garytesta]

it never ceases to amaze me how EASY she makes playing the guitar look 😮

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.

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!”⚡️💀🌹

Bringing more beauty into the world one song at a time

I wish I could tell Toni how beautifully she performed this song, and thank her for it.

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 

Wonder version Toni. Only a 70 year old Guitar Playing "Dead Head" freak can really appreciate the beauty of what you just played.

[gdslick]

Beautiful setting, signature guitar skills - love it when you sing - thanks for posting.

[larrygrassinger]

This woman can take a truly great song and make it even better. That is a rare talent indeed.

[greymank]

I think we should petition YouTube 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.

[briangriffin]

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. 🌹☮️☮️

My favorite dead tune by one of my favorite guitar players! Awesome.
