While "Go to Heaven" certainly is not the best studio album, I really think that the studio version of "Alabama Getaway" is the slickest, tightest sounding thing the boys ever pulled off. It's one of the few songs I never cared for live because the studio version was so ingrained in my mind.

Good point. I never agree that every song sounds better live than studio.
Off the top of my head studio stuff like Cosmic Charlie, Box Of Rain, The Wheel, High Time.

I always said Ax-Oh-Mo-Ax-Oh-A, this is funny, how many ways is there to say that.

oh man, another tough one.....
Well, my first introduction to the GD was in 1983..... side 2 (vinyl that is) of Terrapin Station. Its epic to me and was the start of this whole trip.....but as far as the ENTIRE album goes I would have to say Workingmans Dead, followed by American Beauty...Its hard to split the 2 up. Beautiful music, great harmonizing, timeless songs...the Dead at their best.

I've always pronounced 'aoxomoxoa' like it's written: Ah-Oh-Sho-Mo-Sho-Ah. In portuguese, the 'x' sounds like 'sh'.

I don't know if this is the "correct" pronounciation, but I found this:
According to the audio version of the Rock Scully memoir, Living with the Dead (read by the author and former Dead co-manager himself), the title is pronounced "OX-OH-MOX-OH-AH".

That sounds better. I'll adopt this pronunciation from now on.

Oh I think we should all pronounce it differently!
