Best Grateful Dead song ...
 

dont ease me in....or franklins tower..also a name of a horse...

I don't know.....
 

The entire list of their songs. But I've always liked "Casey Jones" and "Truckin"

Did you know Jerry Garcia wrote 3 childrens books and with them came a cassette.They were The're ain't no bugs on me,The Teddy Bears Picnic and Jenny Jenkins.The song They're aint no bugs on me is great.We bought all three books for our son.

Has to be Casey Jones

Touch of Gray

Ripple, Hell Ina Bucket

Dark Star was that the name of a derby winner? Think so Touch of grey prob my fav. Bob weir and ratdog are playing by me on the 17th might go its free, and if its free its for me!! Does anyone know if the dead are still getting their own channel on sirius?

they are getting their own channel but i haven't heard the date yet.

thanx! haven't seen anything about it for about a month now

I would think that some would say the best song was...





























Black-Throated Wind.

;)

I'll cast a vote for 'Sugar Magnolia'... Rest of my top 5: 'I Need a Miracle', 'Shakedown Street', 'Uncle John's Band', 'Friend of the Devil'...

Got massive doses of that album in Art class back in high school :D

Scarlet Begonias

Bertha

Franklin's Tower

Attics of My Life

Saint Stephen

Black Throated Wind

Jack Straw

You ARE a connoiseur. Didja know that I was best buds with Dennis McNally at college?

Really...that's funny. Seriously, I believe my brother-in-law was Dennis's brother's college roommate.

What did one Grateful dead fan say to the other when they ran out of pot?










"Man! This band sucks!"




I don't feel that way, find the joke hilarious though.

Highly amusing. Larryland was full of goofballs.

My first answer is ...... ALL

____ "Playin in the band ""______

My top 5:
1. Terrapin Station
2. Truckin'
3. Hell in a Bucket
4. Not Fade Away
5. Saint Stephen

Terrapin is a great song.

I was at the show when they played it for the first time.....Cap Center in September of 1982.

thats pretty neat, i was 19 y/o then and never really listened to much Dead until i was 23. the radio station i listened to at work back then, played ALOT of Dead and Pink Floyd. i actually got hooked more on Floyd.

Andy.....
 

Cap Center? You talkin bout the Capitol Center in MD? Largo, or Landover MD?

Yeah....in Maryland where the Capitols and Bullets used to play.

Exactly.....
 

I'm from Virginia, I saw many events in that building. It was a shame to see it go.

I saw the Dead there many times....including the show in 1990 when they brought back Black Throated Wind after a 16 year hiatus.

Wow...
 

What a show that must have been. I went to alot of shows at the Cap Center in the 80's, AC/DC, KISS, OZZY, shows like that. As far as classic bands, was at RFK Stadium for the Who reunion tour, that was a great show!

I love the mellowness of it. Classic Dead.

I had the radio on when I was driving today and a song by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, "Teach Your Children" starts playing. Then the disc jockey said that the steel guitar on it was played by Jerry Garcia. I don't know if that's a fact but it seemed interesting. And that steel guitar makes that song.

My fave...Truckin'.

They should have originated Ride Captain Ride....but they didn't.



I woud have voted for that one.

What row?

I was right down front that night.

I always liked The Other One>Morning Dew

P.S. My quote is from a dead tune too

Same here....somewhere in the first 5 rows.

ever run into bill walton??

I saw him at Giants stadium once way up in the stands. He was very friendly to everyone, and of course had that big smile! :D I think NBA players are freaks.

terrapin....help on the way

herkhorse its here comes sunshine =)
