    Machine Gun is one of the greatest songs ever. For me anyway.

    Agreed!  I don't listen to it often but when I do, I'm completely pulled into it.

    I am not a dead head either but I am fond of the original keyboardest in the name of Pigpen.  He brought a different dynamic and the band was raw in the beginning.  77 was another level with their playing.  Listen to the 77 Cornell show and the band was on fire then too.

    This is my take and I am just an appreciative music fan.  The Heads will explain it better I am sure.

    I hadn't thought of it that way, I think both years are great. But is there a live "album" from 1977? Keeping with the OP theme as I understood it I wasn't including complete live shows, in which case the flood gates really open from which one could select, and it becomes more of a "live shows" list than a "live album" list. I wasn't aware of the Dead having released such an album from the 1977 tour. But now that you mention it, I totally forgot to include Without a Net, the live compilation from the 1990 tour. That is another great live album that I have listened to many times over.
