Answer 2

Scarlet Begonias

Fire on the Mountain

Goin down the road feelin bad

Iko

Not fade away

These are all my favorites but the best would have to be Scarlet Begonias because they played it differently every time

Answer 3

This question is completely based on opinion. Many Dead Heads will tell you different answers. My answer, and the answer of many other Dead Heads is "American Beauty." Their albums were good, but the live recordings are much better than studio recordings

Answer 4

I'm looking at some of the 1980 concerts where an acoustic set preceded two electric sets. Some of these shows, such as 10/4, have as many as 34 songs (counting drums and space as one each).

The all-electric record may be June 10, 1973, when the Grateful Dead played a total of 30 different songs (including a drum break, but no space jam, and not counting a reprise of Not Fade Away) over the course of three sets and an encore at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC.

Depending on how you define "songs," that was perhaps exceeded by the July 31, 1974, show at Dillon Stadium in Hartford, CT. Some titles that appear in GD set lists are instrumental jams, or components of larger compositions which are not always played in full. If you count the separate passages of Weather Report Suite as distinct tunes (as in the track listing on the Wake of the Flood album), and you also count recognizable "named jams" (the Mind Left Body and Spanish themes) as tunes in their own right, this brings 7/31/74's count to 33. Of course, sometimes those guys would play just one song for a really long time...

Answer 5

8/27/72 Veneta, Or

2/13, 14/70 Fillmore East

5/2/70 Harpur College

5/8/77 Cornell University

ask any serious Dead Head and these will most likely be in their top 10 favorite shows of all time.

"american beauty" is voted the best by many dead heads, but we all agree the live recordings are much better
