Grateful Dead Music Forum

If you could go back in time to when the Grateful Dead were still touring and Jerry was still alive which ONE show would you go see? Any show from '65-'95. I think I'd go see 4-28-1971 from the closing of the Fillmore East run.

10-1-94

I'm not sure, too many to choose from, but probably a '70 -'71 era show just because they still had that reckless abandon thing going on before the "sophistication" of 1972 set in.

2-9-73

Ditto on 2-9-73...although 6/24/74 is worthy too.
Very hard to answer but its fun.

lol im going to ignore the ONE part (although if i did pick one it very well may be 5-5-77 or any may 77 show for tha tmatter)

but if i coudl go back in time, id probably go to the acid tests and then follow the dead from there for 30 years muahahha

Well there are obviously so many that I haven't heard yet, but I'd definitely pick one from '71, maybe the one I'm listening to right now (Three From The Vault - 2/19/71 - becoming quickly one of my favorites), unless I'll find one that can top that one.
Or maybe instead, I'd choose any show from about '70 where the New Riders Of The Purple Sage (with Jerry on steel) opened for the Dead, the complete package!

either 5/4/72 or the field trip

i think that 8/27/72...

dicks picks 11 i think its like sept 72...best dicks pick best versions of brokedown and alot of others evry song is flawless...attics!! it has it all and 72-74 is your prime keith prime bob and sweet jerry melodies, no noodling
