I've been on a similar track but have been listening to Dead & Company with my main man John Mayer.

I like the early stuff more than the later 80’s stuff.

Right now I’m on a Europe ‘72 kick!

Us dead heads are so corny! Let me be the one to say...

What a long, strange trip it's going to be

:)

@Azimuth: me too.

Blues for Allah and Terrapin Station are my favorites, but I'm not a deadhead by any means.

@Senorx12562 Blues for Allah has my favorite Dead record cover art.

I once considered it for some ink.

Not sure of the timeline now,but I think Terrapin Station would be about the end for me. Wake of the Flood is beautiful. Mars Hotel, all great songs. Actually, hardly remember Terrapin just now.

I could probably live with just aoxamoxoa/anthem of the sun and American Beauty/Workingman's Dead

I feel privileged that my DeadHead friends dragged my ignorant South African ass off to see the Dead and Jerry Band when I moved to L.A.. Got to see them a few time before Jerry passed. Certainly not their best era, but nonetheless a life event for me.

Cornell '77 is great also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_5/8/77

I once saw a bumper sticker that said "Phish sucks, Jerry's dead, get a job." I laughed anyway.

The best all-around show I’ve come across is 5/2/70 Harpur College. It’s Dick’s Picks Vol. 8. Awesome acoustic first set followed by killer electric set. It’s on all the streaming services.

@gaspasser I’m sure I’ll get to that soon, I’m exploring the 1969 shows right now.
