I'm new here so cut me some slack if I'm reposting or posting something of no interest, but I'm shocked, almost appalled there isn't a Grateful Dead thread yet. I've done a couple searches and yielded no results.
So let's hear it Dead Heads! What's your favorite albums (live or studio)? Any good stories from any live shows? Good memories, or lack there of?
I'm more of an early Grateful Dead fan as opposed to their later stuff. Favorite studio albums of mine include American Beauty, and Workingman's Dead, but for live albums I'd have to go with Live Dead, Dead Set, Europe '72, Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses) (some studio and some live), History of the Grateful Dead Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice), One From the Vault, and I'll throw Reckoning in there too.
I never got into the Dick's Picks, and quite frankly wouldn't know where to begin.
I unfortunately never got to see them live, but I've heard a couple cover/tribute bands, and they were really true to the Dead.
