69 was my favorite year - don't fuck with studio dead, i find it like containing a great white shark; just doesn't work, however you do have to listen to American Beauty at least once through
Auditorium Theatre Chicago August 1971 is pretty kick ass, just to throw out a lil concert advise

"Liberty" is one of my favorite songs of all time and one of their least appreciated. "Reuben and Cherrise" a JGB staple and "Row Jimmy Row" always bring me good vibes during an intense session.
-------------------- On storing pedro tea... Brewmaster: Well, the mescaline will still be in there, but I'd be afraid of it conjealing and trying to escape after it grew in size from eating all the other shit in my fridge, and possibly my dogs if it got out. Pithlit: sentient drugs, now that is an idea ... OneMoreRobot: Idea? It's a fuckin' reality. You know Salvia? Nigga stole my TV.

Live/Dead is an excellent suggestion, especially Dark Star but if your into the more abstract dead Anthem of the Sun is great. It always put me in a good place for tripping. Good luck

I almost forgot! If you want a good live set of some great Dead songs try, Dead Set. Its vibe is a little more laid back than Anthem of the Sun. Ooh yeah nvm Europe 72 is a great suggestion

Anything from 1977 is amazing. 1969 was a good year too. The Furthur show from All Good 2010 was awfully badass. Not real Dead, but it's good.

Here is my alltime favorite dead concert/ dvd:
Grateful Dead - Full Concert - 12/31/78 - Winterland (OFFICIAL)
This is the closing of Winterland concert. The music starts around 30 minutes in after the new years festivities, I would skip to 29 though to catch the intro.

I really have been getting into the late 80s.
Edit: Sancho beat me to it.
Edit:another 80s rec.
Watched this whole show last time I tripped out. The west LA fade away is one my favorites right now. It really rips. There are a few slower ballad type songs that can be hard for introduction dead, but I would bounce around you tube concerts to find your preferred style.
This guy's channel is a gold mine.

80s dead is the shit. yeah, it's a lil less jamming, but brent mydland on keyboards and his b3 hammond organ take the dead to a whole new level.
i fucking love brent.

Brent was a good keyboardist but he really needed to STFU. I can't stand his voice and he likes to just sing nonsense filler for way too long. Pigpen pulled that shit off. Brent, not so much.

no way. brent was way better than pigpen. his voice was phenomenal was had the best voice in the band. he rarely didn't hit a note, whereas jerry and bobby would miss notes all the time while singing.

My suggestions: -Sunshine Daydream (great cheerful sumemrtime vibes) -Live Dead (obvious choice) -Fillmore West 1969 (so many good darkstars, the best jams imo) -One from the vault (I really love blues for allah and just the whole vibe here)
those tend to be my favorites for lsd purposes

Technically, Brent was a better musician than Pig in every way. But his voice just doesn't do it for me. That throaty '80s sound has always bothered me. I'd rather hear Jerry warble off-key.

i getchu. i used to be a metal head, so i really dig his voice. you have to admit though, he hits like every single fucking note.

Definitely. Like I said, he was technically awesome. But, to me, the Dead isn't about hitting every note.

i get you. as a musician i like hearing them the right notes and what not, at least vocally. that's why i never really liked donna in the band.

I wouldn't say she was that good in Jerry Band but she definitely chilled out more and was probably just more sober and on key than with the Dead. Maybe cause Jerry Band tended to be the afterparty where they were coming down.
I am a general hater though, so keep that in mind. My opinions don't tend to be the popular ones.

I used to do tech work for the Grateful dead. One time around 1991 I spent half the show on a sofa, on the left side of the stage with headphones and a box with a dial that let me listen to each band member's monitor mix. That same night I was underneath the stage during Space with a bunch of roadies smoking 2 joints, one going in each direction. Jerry was standing right above us!
