    great thread patrick! I also agree, Box of Rain is GRRRRRREAT! I think my favorite is Deal, but there are so many great songs, it's like Pearl Jam or the Beatles, you can't just pick one!

    This has to be it.

    Mars Hotel was top notch

    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    Thanks for that link.

    I specifically remember hearing that song for the first time(studio version) and being absolutely blown away...never ever thinking they could actually pull that one out of their bag full of tricks and bring it to the road for 1995's tour.

    Sadly, I missed seeing it go down live on stage :(

    Ripple, sure.
    Basicaly all of American Beauty, China Cat, I Know You Rider, Jack Straw, St. Stephens -- all the "classics", okay.

    BUT MY FAVORITE is
    Candy Man

    :D
    The studio version from American Beauty with the pedal steel is one of the best recorded tracks, of all time, ever, in the history of the worlds history.
    seriously.

    Just recently started listening to The Dead. I only have American Beauty and my faves off that CD are Box of Rain, Friend of the Devil and Ripple.

    If you just started listening to them your better off looking at some Dead websites that stream their audio. Most of their great stuff is live and not on any of their albums, or at least studio albums.. enjoy.

    reckoning/for the faithful

    Not a song that was played often

    favorite song

    man thats tough

    might be
    reuben and cherise
    sugaree
    mission in the rain
    midnight moonlight
    harder they come

    Guess the JGB songs stick out a bit more for me

    a good second set scarlet>fire is tough to beat though

    I've always wanted to check out The Grateful Dead.

    Any album recommendations for one who's new to the band?

    acoustic dead-
    Dead set-good live primer

    not really, best stuff was live and those two suggestions are grate for new fans
    Europe 72 captures the band during a historica tour and is the best release IMHO

    But here ya go:
    skeletons from the closet (best of-this was my first Dead record)
    workingmans dead
    american beauty
    mars hotel
    shakedown street
