Chris Robinson was recently a guest on the Howard Stern show, where he shared his opinion of John Mayer playing Grateful Dead music in Dead and Company.   There has been lots of media attention, from JamBase to Variety

DHL decided to let the music be what matters.  We present a video face-off, Chris and John, each performing their interpretation of the Grateful Dead classic “Sugaree” – Please watch both performances, and then share your comments below.
