We've had a request from Jacky T, who's new in these parts and seeks your thoughts on which songs define each era of the Grateful Dead. "I'm doing some sound consulting for a theatre show about Deadheads and was looking for some info that fans would know.. Basically, I was looking to find their 'iconic sounds' as they've shifted from each decade.. Any seminal tracks, maybe 3 from each 'period' of their different styles?" This is a little different from the time-honored question of what was the band's best era. However, I foresee a diversity of opinion on this subject.

From AParr: Hey Folks! So... I've got an idea for a GD-related book, and want to get feedback from everyone in terms of whether you'd be at all interested in contributing to, or ultimately buying such a book. I love reference books of all kinds, am a huge travel nut, and obviously a Deadhead.
