Favorite Grateful Dead song?

Throwing Stones, I love the message and the song. Mexicali Blues, it's a nice song to chill to about Mexico. Black Muddy River, such a sad powerful song. Dire Wolf, a pretty cool song as well. Sugar Magnolia is a fun song to listen or sing to as well. It really gets you moving. Touch of Grey is a great song that really cheers me up, it's an overall great song to listen to at any time. There's tons more too. I love the Grateful Dead. They really inspire me or cheer me up.
 
ima huge dead head, many songs, Hes Gone, Fire On The Mountain, Scarlet Begonias, Slipknot, Franklins Tower, Help Is On The Way and Saint of Circumstance are my favorite
 
phil and friends (the dead's bassist's side project)played a series of shows in '98 or '99 with trey and page from phish. they played a mix of phish and dead songs. the tapes are sweet. phish has covered the grateful dead a number of times. however, the grateful dead proper never played with phish.

favorite dead songs:

eyes of the world

weather report suite

jack straw

bird song

brown eyed women

he's gone

the music never stopped

the list goes on and on...
 
I just wanted to point out that zylsrta pwned himself.

That's all.

To make it official...zylsrta, consider yourself pwned by your own hand.
 
anyone heard the pizza boy tapes?? or something like that. jerry used to jam out with his pizza guy and the recordings are epic
 
the pizza tapes. a great album. its jerry with david grisman on mandolin and tony rice on second guitar. SO good.
 
I have to say the album Blues for Allah, which is pretty much a continuous meddle, is my favourite Grateful Dead ever.

Franklin's Tower is probably my favourite part. It makes you want to sit by a river and enjoy life.
 
wow, totally wrong on that story, but it's cool.

The Pizza Tapes (as stated above, with Grisman and Rice) was a two-night recording that was left (cassette) on the counter and when they ordered pizza, the pizza delivery boy stole the tape, thus giving it it's name... or so the legend has it.
 
the dead are not gay, i dont care who u are. my favorite songs are casey jones, us blues, sugar magnolia, and friend of the devil
 
not too sure what to think of you..

can't get any better than shakedown street.....or fire oon the mtn...or ripple....AHHHH i guess every song is their best :)
 
Sometimes I really wish I was 30 yeard older.

I'm listening to the Dead on their Europe '72 tour.

Amazing doesn't do it justice, download it.
 
i LOVE early 70's dead- a much jazzier sound than later in their career. also, i like the sparseness of just one drummer.
 
eyes of the world, feel like a stranger, brown eyed women, help on the way/slipknot, terrapin station, jack straw, althea, china cat/rider.  way too many to name
 
bertha, china cat sunflower, i know you rider, jack straw, me and my uncle, friend of the devil, ahh too many to name they're all good!
