So, what are your all-time greats?
So, what are your all-time greats?
For starters:
Lazy Lightnin'>Supplication 5/15/80 (Go To Nassau) - amazing!!!
Playing In the Band 10/19/73 (DP19) - Drops into deep space so quickly - no filler- perfect.
It Must have Been the Roses - 4/24/78 (Tapers Section) - great pick Dave
Loser - 3/24/90 (Tapers Section) - I was lucky enough to be there.
Heres my short list:
2/27/69 Fillmore West The definitive version
4/8/72 Wembly Empire Pool Amazing!!
8/27/72 Veneta Or. Scary & sublime
9/19/70 Fillmore East Best "Feelin' Groovy" Jam
11/8/70 Capitol Theatre Port Chester NY Into Main Ten>Dancin' The Deads finest hour
9/24/72 Goes into some sort of demented hoe-down & China/Rider
2/13/70 Fillmore East Another definitive version
11/11/73 Winterland Long, strange & definatley a trip
12/6/73 Cleveland Convention Center In tune with the cosmos
DP 35, disc 1
Hard to Handle cooks...Phil throws down some amazing lines behind PigPen (and a smokin' Cumberland follows)...
and check out Medley on DP 12
as Frank Zappa said, Trust me, you'll love it...

when you have a 30 mile drive into houston on 45 south going 70-80mph...this is the song! it is so blistering it's not even funny! it's amazing to hear this band synch up like they've been playing this same version for years. truely one of my favs of dead music! when it's just jerry and the drummers playing always floors me. true musical communication! i remember finding this on a bootleg cd that consisted of cuts off gans' dead hour in the '90's. i think it was called "the jerry garcia memorial". take care!
9/3/77 For years this song never made much of an impression on me. Until this version opened me up to it. Also NFA from this show is definitely #1
I have to concur with the previous post. The NFA from Englishtown is definitely the best all time version! Also the Estimated->Eyes has to be among the best ever pairing of the two. Espesially the Eyes!
