Damn hard question as my favorites are so dependent on mood and my time of life (teen years, young adult years, geezer years. )
Franklin's tower
Not fade away (buddy holly cover)
Stella blue
Wang dang doodle (Howlin' Wolf cover)
Samson and delilah (reverend gary Davis cover)
Looks like rain

I knew I liked you. I still listen to Anthem of the Sun pretty often. I like a lot of the Skull and Roses album, and I Know You Rider on Europe 72. But the one I I am always happy when it comes up on rotation is this version of CR&S:
I’m not much for the stuff after Europe 72. My wife didn’t like the Dead much, but she loved Ripple. It played at her memorial.

Ripple is a great song. It was also my favorite cover on deadicated. Jane's Addiction killed it with the 6/8 drumbeat of the 4/4 melody. Classic dead mashup. (I could be wrong on the time signatures; rusty chops.)
Dude, i keep looking for you at the basin.

I was there, too. Last show for me. Head full of acid and 20-30 feet in front of center stage. Good stuff.
Had to put 2 extra friends in the back of my 4Runner after the show because they could find their ride back to town.
Agree with others about too many choices.
I always enjoyed blistering st Stephen>The eleven partially because of the time change. I also enjoy the china>the eleven recordings that I’ve heard.
In college, I gave a pretty good presentation on the live dead dark star (feb 2?, 1969 - not looking it up) in a course called “free form jazz,” taught by Anthony Davis, which went over well. When I heard a good recording of that entire show, I really enjoyed the mountains of the moon>dark star combo.
I remember getting a very good quality tape recording of the 1970 may, Harpur college show, which I loved. Really enjoyed pigpen in the acoustic set, black Peter, and beat it on down the line.
In 1993, I was at a Eugene show that included a great standing on the moon.
Don’t you all think that you can go on and on?

Fer sure. Funny, in my college music class i presented about the changes to attics from the 60s to the 89 breakout. Not sure it was very good! In poetry class, I worked w hunter and did my work on the newly released box of rain collection of course and was writing back and forth w his agent/publisher about the book. Most of the paper and presentation was about the terrapin suite. Wish I could have interviewed the man himself.
That sotm might be the best version. Def could go on and on. Love the acoustic b Peter.

Interesting thread to read.
Couldn’t possibly put a finger on a favorite or even a favorite from different periods. My my changes and finds new sounds all the time.

Another Ripple fan. And, although it was originally on Jerry's solo album, "The Wheel."
I saw the Dead at Barton in '77. Little did I know what an emblematic show that was to become.

St Stephen live. I always liked the way the jam continually bled back into the hook for a quick reminder of which song you were listening to.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.
