A community for Deadheads on Lemmy.

Feel free to post music, discussion, memes, articles and anything else related to the Grateful Dead or the band members' side projects.

Only a couple quick rules, I think most should be obvious anyway:

Stay on topic - keep posts Dead related
Keep disagreements civil
No NSFW (pornographic) content
No racist, sexist, bigoted or violent content
No politics (unless something is directly related to the band or its members) or other deliberately divisive topics
Above all else, be kind, ain't no time to hate

the 2/28/80 Kean College version is pretty much my favorite song of all time, but I was wondering if anyone has one they think tops it?

Like a lot of Jerry's songs they changed over the years, so I do not know if I have a favorite or if there is a best.

I do like the swing that 77 and 78 versions have and Donna singing back up. 3-17-78 or 3-18-78 come to mind. 11-23-77 at the Palace also. In fact very much so if I remember correctly.

If you those 1980 ones, March 1 1980 is good too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlElrCJrq28 also I am partial to the Stone on 3-7-80 for the that week.

Admittedly, it's not a song I've ever really been that hyped on. I'll have to check out some these recommendations tho.

But I wanted to share this in case people weren't aware:
