Grateful Dead
I always go back to the tapes that originally turned me on. The ones where I knew I had heard something that really hit me on a personal level. The ones that changed the way I listen to music in general. The ones where i got it for myself, for sure, no question about it.
A lot of these have been mentioned multiple times already so I will leave those out until I write my autobiography.
In no particular order:
12-05-1971 Love the SOUND. Cool echo/reverb plus amazing jams. SOTOTW!
04-18-1971 Tight, passionate, concentrated, FOCUS. Great banter!
05-04-1972 Elegant, class. Flowing,natural, pure, effortless, IN the pocket.
10-26-1989 My 2nd show. Stunned into silence! Cathartic, arrow thru the heart.
07-08-1990 First show that I was physically transported by. Got on the floor, inside the sound.
06-14-1991 Help peeled my face off, Slipknot rearranged my chromosomes, plus the rest!
08-21-1972 Great Dark Star, great feel, great soundboard.
06-18-1974 Favorite 1974 show. Dreamy, lazy, fiery, what summer is all about.
This is the super-short version of my list.
If you look up Dick's Picks #4 on Wikipedia, it references this tape trader poll and says that the 2/13/70 show was #2 with 5/8/77 being #1.
The wolfgang's vault list?

Does anyone have a copy of this list? I was always interested in finding what the shows to have were, and I keep seeing posts on the Web about this poll. Of course, it lists 5/8/77 as #1 but I wanted the whole list to get started on the collection.
10/84 bct wow , 85 ,86 ,87 , greeks , HJK stanford shows were always fun all of them "she belongs to me" shorelines "good golley miss molley" WOW FIN GREAT STUFF

hey dude, i recommend the Oxford Plains Speedway show from '89 (both shows actually)
and you can just go on archive.org, and type in your specific year that you want to find a show, and just go!
Peace out!! Happy Hunting

The tape that originally made me go, "WOW! I have to see this band live!" was the second set of 1/15/79. The segue from "Miracle->Shakedown" still ranks as one of my all time favorite, and the meandering mess that is the near 40 minute "Playing" makes me smile and dance to this day. I have a tape player in my home office to this day so that I can play THAT tape.
It sounds better on tape, that show.
