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

Ugh, you had to answer a tough question, didn't you? :-P
Spring '77 is definitely up there, especially early May at Barton Hall. Also really enjoy 1983, Brent really started to come into his own & inject his own flavor to the mix. Pretty much any tour in '74, the Wall-of-Sound really adds a dimension that's quite unique.
Those are my top-3, in no particular order.
Disclaimer: I'm often wrong. :-P
I'd have to agree on 83, the more I listen to the Brent years, the more they become my favorite. I love Pig and Keith, but what Brent brought to the band really lit a fire in Jerry. Those two could really play off of each other so well.
@Oldslewfoot @kerneltux the Jerry Brent interplay was one of my favorite things about the band.
