I haven't heard anything from The Dead. I didn't seek out their music because I was much of a Grateful Dead fan to begin with, and didn't bother with The Other Ones either. I thought it was cool that they changed their to "The Dead" and not distances themselves from "The Grateful Dead" name because Jerry Garcia passed. (Though I would understand if the remaining members didn't want to use the name.) I wouldn't know if The Dead sounded like The Byrds or even The Grateful Dead for that matter.

I don't hear the similarity, from the video Clarence White is clearly playing a B-bender Telecaster and brilliantly I might add. I couldn't really listen to the Grateful Dead for too long. It sounds like the Grateful Dead is using a pedal steel - in my opinion. The style is a bit run-of-mill pedal steel that was prevalent in Country Pop at the time
