A previous thread made me think of this but what are y’alls favorite Dead songs Pack. Mine are Mississippi Halfstep and Terrapin Station. It’s hard for me to understand why some don’t like their music. I don’t see how anyone that honestly listens to those two songs and not think that’s what true rock n roll was suppose to be. They were the real deal. I know there has to be some dead heads out there. Their musics lists me in a good mood.

Everything from American Beauty and working man's dead
Hell, it would be hard to narrow a top 25

I did not appreciate what a great band they were back in their prime years. Probably because they weren't played on the radio much. Been listening to a lot of their live concert videos and archived music lately. Just curious, did they ever tour the south?

Oh yea, they played in Jackson in 78. Atl was a regular tour stop, lots of great Florida shows. Heck even B'ham and Memphis got some shows at the end.
Damn I hate I missed that Jackson show. I had just gotten married and was too focused on paying the bills and starting a family.

I hope Dead & Co tours next year. There’s been some talk they will not. I know Mayer’s father isn’t doing well. They’re a great excuse for a 3 day weekend. Go catch them at Wrigley or Fenway, Denver, etc.

St Stephen and Ramble on Rose are 2 of my all timers. Followed behind Throwing Stones. But I can put on any album and listen without any skips.
Have you listened to Vampire Weekend's last album? It was heavily influenced by the Dead's sound.

Terrapin station

Uncle John’s band
Sugaree
Ask me next week and it would probably be a different list.

I was fortunate to be at the two Santa Clara Fare Thee Well shows. Here's the first show which was all older songs. I think you would have loved it...
Set I: Jam -> Truckin’, Uncle John’s Band, Alligator -> Cumberland Blues, Born Cross-Eyed > Cream Puff War, Viola Lee Blues
Set II: Cryptical Envelopment -> Dark Star -> St. Stephen -> The Eleven -> Turn On Your Love Light -> Drums/Space -> What’s Become Of The Baby -> The Other One – > Morning Dew
my favorite rock-n-roll band since 1968, was fortunate to see 'em many times, including the opening weekend of the warehouse in new orleans that saw the dead get busted which bust was the inspiration for "truckin'".....many great memories over the years.many favorites but nothing compares to the dead when they were hitting on all cylinders, never playing a song the same way twice i all those years. my favorite from the early years is "the eleven". several years ago i loaded all the winter land versions on a shuffle ipod to help me focus while playing golf in my regular group, really helped the focus...
here's a review of my favorite album...."...contains the finest rock improvisation ever recorded..."

If you have any interest in the Dead at all, check out the Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast podcast. They just finished up a series on the Europe 72 tour. One episode per stop. It was fantastic.
To the OPs question: I think the Blues for Allah album is underrated. I love the live shows that start with Help > Slipknot! > Franklin's.
Bertha
Althea
He's Gone
Scarlet
Me and My Uncle (I believe they played this at more shows than any other song)
Wharf Rat
Box of Rain (Let Phil Sing!)
Dire Wolf
... on and on ...
