I have a feeling the Fillmore Run is one of Will’s favorite trades.
I do have to agree with Will on this point. Dark Star is an effing great jam. So many possibilities, plus you could argue that is the song that was the impetus for the jam band.
Plus, anything with Pigpen is effing great. Especially Turn On Your Lovelight.

There was actually a pretty sweet thread around here that compared GD tunes to Phish tunes in terms of the crowd favorites and heavy hitters. I actually thought it was an interesting thread.
My quest is to dig it up. It is buried somewhere deep within the bowels of the OKP.
GD played Mission! They also played Reuben and Cherise!

Back on Topic. I can’t believe i failed to mention Must have been the Roses. What a great tune!
Not really a dude tune or whatever, but I’ve been listening to the first Garcia album lately, and with a couple exceptions, I feel this is the best album to come out of the dead camp. Did the Dead or Garcia ever play any of the instrumental stuff off the second side? Particularly Eep Hour? I love Garcia’s piano on To Lay Me Down. I wonder if Garcia ever played that song live on the piano, solo, brooding, in a room full of candles and ghosts…
