I would like to know what your favorite Grateful Dead shows are. What are your "go to" shows? I want to add some more shows to my collection and am just looking for some guidance on what I might want to add. Specifically looking for Grateful Dead please.

A couple I was at that I love, and not just because I was there: 7/16/90 (of course you may have this already, since all of 1990 has been released, and rightly so) and 06/17/1991. The latter's Eyes opener(!) was played on some live music series on ABC. There's no comparing Bruce and Branford Marsalis, but I'd put this up against the '90 version used on Without A Net anytime.
Holidays are always a special event, and Veteran's Day is no exception. 11/11/73 has always been one of my favorites, too.
I don't really do physical media anymore. My tapes were all lost in a fire years ago, and I put my CD collection in a charity auction and managed to raise $75 for cancer research. In the internet age I can recommend Grateful Dead Listening Guidewww.deadlistening.com and Grateful Dead Listening Party twitter.com/gdtlp for great show recommendations.

I am familiar with the Grateful Dead Listening Guide but did not know about the GDLP on Twitter so thanks. I am really looking for more personal recommendations such as the ones that you provided so many thanks for that.

There's a Twitter feed about Dead mondegreens (misheard lyrics) that's pretty hilarious, too.

I know it's not one show but I always go back to Europe '72. A good time for the band, and a gateway album for me a couple years later. A feature I like, that others might not, is that the songs are individual and without space/drums and other tedium. The more recent release fits well with the original.
And there's American Beauty, played before a small and well behaved audience I suppose.

American Beauty is a studio album so a very small audience and probably not very well behaved I know it's not one show but I always go back to Europe '72. A good time for the band, and a gateway album for me a couple years later. A feature I like, that others might not, is that the songs are individual and without space/drums and other tedium.

Two From The Vault was a pivotal double album for me. It taught me to love TOO and Dark Star. I had a friend who worked at Blockbuster when they were selling music and that was one of many albums I stole from them. No regerts.

I didn’t have to steal mine, it was given to me, or I might’ve stolen it😁Two From The Vault was a pivotal double album for me. It taught me to love TOO and Dark Star. I had a friend who worked at Blockbuster when they were selling music and that was one of many albums I stole from them. No regerts.
