great idea for a thread goldenroad! and those are some great picks! i totally agree w/ 12-15-95, and i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s up next. from top to bottom that show smokes! 12-5-95 would also be great for personal reasons…i had quite the experiense that night. plus it’s a great show! 12-9-95 and 12-11-95 for obvious reasons. really all of december is worthy imo. oh yeah and 12-29-95 would also be sick!
for a show w/ no video footage available, 6-26-95 would be my #1 choice.
Does anyone else know if any other band has an element (ala “Cypress”) of such mythical status as Phish does? I mean, you say “Cypress” to ANY Phish fan and they can tell you 101 things about it. Does the GD? I guess this is geared mainly towards bands that tour quite a bit or have an extensive catalog of releases. I dunno. Just a thought that jumped into my head.
The first one I immediately thought of was GD+Egypt, too.
But if I remember correctly, I remember reading JG saying the Dead didn’t even play well when they were there (I think the night of the full moon or eclipse or whatever). What about some bands that REALLY tour heavily, like Springsteen, U2, DMB, etc?
For the dead, it isn’t any where near cypress proportions, but in 05 i got a limited edition box set of all the shows from the Live/Dead run. It is fucking incredible.
