favorite dead tunes

I can’t disagree with anything said so far as there are not too many Dead songs i dislike.I find in most GD discussions the Big Guns get tossed around most frequently and there are lots of other great tunes that go unmentioned. Iv’e always had a special place in my heart for Here Comes Sunshine. I saw the bustout of it at Compton Terrace in 92 i think it was. Nobody ever seems to bring it up and i believe it deserves alot more credit than it gets. Loose Lucy and the fast versions of TLEO also seem to never get talked about too much. I love these tunes alot. As far as the last 10 Jerry years Foolish Heart and Althea stand out greatly to me! Hopefully my thoughts will peak more interest in the tunes iv’e mentioned for up and coming Dead Lover’s!

how bout some good old fashioned pig pen and lovelight???

^ Here Comes Sunshine is definitely one of my favorites. wish they would have played it more.

Other favorites of mine not yet mentioned:

Cold Rain and Snow
Comes a Time

ESTIMATED PROPHET.
maybe just because its in 7/4 time and im a total dork.
i also dig ‘the eleven’

and all of ‘blues for allah’

Ah yes…you da man, spooks!

I have a Europe 72 tour show…I believe it’s in Copenhagen, where Pig just goes OFF for like 30 minutes on several tunes, just improvising vocals and making it up as he goes. It’s fucking stunning. And his last tour as well…
Bless the Pig…

china cat, eyes of the world, casey jones, slipknot, eleven, st. stephen…

Lately I feel I go ignored…

How about some Pigpen tunes yall! ;D :wink:

Box of Rain
Unbroken Chain
Ship of Fools
Brokedown Palace (I want this played at my funeral, lol)

Honestly I haven’t listened to any Dead since Dark Star NYE. Between 2 nights of them and my dude blaring it nonstop, I got a little burnt out.

just a great funky dead album, particuarly into the West L.A and the Muddy River, just a great newschool dead album

I forgot probably my favorite dead song to sing…It’s All Over Now!!..I love watching Brent sing that on my Alpine '89 dvd

I’ve always liked Touch of Grey too

Someone mentioned Comes a Time… what a great SONG. She’s an Artist… is that the name, cover tune I believe… “She takes the dark out of the night time, paints the daytime black”… another great TUNE… also Jerry singin’ It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry… GREAT SONG. GAODAMMIT! The LAST Time… “I told you once, I told you TWICE… never listen to my advice” FRWAKIN AWEXWONME! I love phish but I drown in your laughter and Dead to the core.
