This is- Atlantic City Weekly's Weekend Hot Tub Party!
This week we're bringing you our YouTube play-list of some really sweet Grateful Dead covers compiled by our intrepid staff.
With Furthur coming to Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, Nov. 12, we only thought it appropriate to bust out some sick jams for all you Dead Heads out there.
Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, being the only original members of the band that are left will be sure to fill Boardwalk Hall with some loving renditions of Grateful Dead classics with their all-star band Furthur, exploring some of the bands most beloved songs and taking the Atlantic City audience on a "journey."
But for now, let these cover songs take you on your own psychedelic trip from some obscure bands with Grateful Dead covers from indie rock, dance-club, reggae and even reinterpretations of some of the band's classics by big names like Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, and Jane's Addiction (who recently played the House of Blues).
Turn up your volume, sit back, relax and jam to the beat of greatness.
This party's got a little something for everyone, so turn on and tune in with this week's Atlantic City Weekly Weekend Hot Tub Party!

In relation to Occupy movement's two month anniversary...
With 11-11-11 and this week's Bombshell of a cover story in mind...
Atlantic City’s proximity to two of the biggest East Coast hotbeds for Deadheads, New York City and Philadelphia, is primarily why smallish casino concert venues can draw sizable crowds with relatively little publicity when bands like Bob Weir’s Ratdog or Phil Lesh’s Phil and Friends visit the resort. But when the two Grateful Dead legends teamed up to form Furthur in 2009, surrounding themselves with other virtuoso musicians and quickly honing a tight-knit sound, tickets got gobbled up at a breakneck pace. Finding a Furthur ticket on the day of last February’s show at the Taj Mahal’s roughly 5,000-seat Mark G. Etess Arena was as tough...
