Best Grateful Dead recording?

For those recommending acoustic stuff, Garcia and Grisman, Old and In the Way, etc., I have to say that "The Pizza Tapes" with Garcia, Grisman, and Tony Rice is not only great music, but one of the most alive and realistic sounding recordings I own. Check it out!

Jond - Right On! Besides having great music, and some pretty funny dialog, Pizza Tapes is a great recording!

Jond the Fillmore rocks!

Kevins,
I had no doubt you'd love it, now try not to wear it out!

I would suggest that yoy go to btetree.org and download. Start in the late 60 and move forward. Some very interesting changes occur.

A few I like,

6/10/73- I think I have these dates right. 4 set marathon that ends with Dicky Betts and Jerry playing together.

11/14/73- Truckin-The Other One- Big River-The Other One-Wharf Rat- Me and My Uncle. I think this is part of the second set. It really smokes.

77 Tour- So many good shows. For free you can download Barton Hall. Yes it is overhyped but is an excellent show. I just love Estimated Prophet on this entire tour.

9/2/78- One one disc you can get Good Lovin, Scarlet Begonias-Fire on the Mountain. Sound quality is a B. This is my favorite Scarlet-Fire.

Finally, I would suggest you download some of the Grisman-Garcia show. Both the Warfield and the Squaw Valley shows are great.

Happy listening
