Grateful Dead
Live Dead.
RODGER ALLINSON The Help Slip Fire from 9-20-91 is truely remarkable granted its the only time they did it but the short second of dead silence after slipnot and the thunderous reaction into fire is truely amazing thank god for masters.

This is THE BEST version of this jam.....great tribute to the closing of SanFrancisco's finest dancehall.
China/ Rider 7/17/89 Alpine Valley (I am sure some of the early 70's versions might be better , but so far I have yet to find one
Scarlet/Fire 11/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell Univ. (amazing)
Dancin' 2/26/77 Swing Auditorium ( Just Cooks)
Shakedown Street 12/5/81 Indianapolis ( Jerry's Lead work just sounds like he is trying to just 'pop' the notes out, scaling fast, circling )
Lost Sailor/ Saint 12/5/81 Indianpolis ( the build-up and release between Sailor and Saint is orgasmic)
Morning Dew 10/12/84 Augusta, Maine( Just Smoking)
Sugaree 10/17/83 Lake Placid ( I loved alot of the late 70's ones, but this is just wicked)
I could go on and on, alot of fun thinking of these, but it is all subjective, ain't it.
I love this thread, makes me want to go out and listen to these picks.
God Bless this Band, and all of us.
Man, it's hard to say what song/show was the best. But I'm quite sure that I like the version of Scarlet > Mountain from Hamilton 3-22-1990 as presented on the So Many Road Box Set very much.
Best show ever.................
Dillon Stadium
Hartford, Conn.
7/31/74
There's been many great versions of Terrapin, but I like the one from the 09/13/81 show at the Greek Theater in Berkeley the best. It's the only version I've heard where the band goes through the middle instrumental part, not once (as always), or twice (which is rare), but three times they take you for a ride with the melody, giving Brent the lead for the start of the last go around.
