I want to like the Grateful Dead and Phish

I'm a very open minded philosophical person who listens to all music from classical (adaggio for strings, anyone?) to the most brutal death metal and grind (cryptopsy or anal cunt, anyone?) and everything in between.
I just have NEVER been exposed to the dead or phish other than the songs "truckin'" and phish's "bounce around the room" or whatever it is.
I know I would love them...so where do I start?

Just wondering maybe also what a good site is. Their official site sort of stinks.

i felt the same way when i first got into the dead and phish.
its tricky because the essence of these bands is in live performances, and there are sooo many recordings of live shows. so its pretty much trial and error. you go around to sites like www.archive.org and download shows..
the process goes something like this:
download... nope, shitty show download... crappy show download... boringgg download... no good download... YES! finally a good one
i would recommend livephish.com for good phish downloads but you have to pay for those. its like 13 bucks per show, so if ur interested in that PM me and i'll recommend some of my favorites
DEAD songs u need to check out: deal bertha eyes of the world franklins tower estimated prophet the music never stopped peggy o shakedown street brown eyed women PHISH songs u need to check out: birds of a feather back on the train bathtub gin wolfmans brother walls of the cave david bowie moma dance you enjoy myself tube down with disease chalk dust torture pebbles and marbles mikes song
that should give you a decent start.. good luck hah

go to nugs.net
they have tons of great music...
my favorite phish:
david bowie you enjoy myself fee down with disease stash bug first tube the divided sky the moma dance birds of a feather NICU harry hood run like an antelope
my favorite dead:
help on the way minglewood blues (especially from the 5/8/77 show at Barton Hall, that's my favorite dead show so far.. actually, most of these songs are from that show, or at least in that show..) chinacat sunflower ship of fools jack straw terrapin station mama tried brown eyed women row jimmy fire on the mountain scarlet begonias friend of the devil tennessee jed
there's a hell of a lot more good stuff by those bands but those songs are just the cream of the crop imo.
hope you dig it.. it's really good shit once you get into it.

If you don't mind paying for a CD buy "Without a Net." It's a double live CD that will turn your world upside down.

Shakedown street. man get to the classics, Not Fade Away, Samson & Delilah. When i think the dead thats it.
Phish..... oooooh, i donno. probably farmhouse. more pop-ish sound, phish can be pretty prog, but Farmhouse is probably my favorite phish song, most likely the first i ever heard or sumthin'.
