best dead song

in your own opinion, whats the best grateful dead song.. if u want to give a reason. if u dont like dead then dont post "dead sucks" or stuff like that.

my favorite is sugar magnolia cause its such a cheerful song. I also like their version of johnny b goode

 

I like Friend Of The Devil, Truckin' and Casey Jones most I think....

 

It's really hard to say, but I am going to have to say Golden Road, simply for the lyrics, the layers of different sounds, and it was the first dead song i heard.

 

golden road is a good song but the begining hurts my ears when its turned up load

 

oh shit,

scarlet mountain (scarlet begonias/fire on the mountain) from like 77-83 is good
Big River is amazing
i really like tennessee Jed a lotttt

 

And We Bid You Goodnight

 

Box of Rain

 

Truckin' or Casey Jones

 

oh man that is really hard! if a had to choose it would be at the moment...Sugar Magnolia at this very moment lol

 

I'd have to say "Ripple" it's what I would want played at my funeral.

 

that's a great choice, Ripple is. We just listened to Jerry from Almost Acoustic in the cr last night.

scarlet.. the words( like many of their songs, but this one happens to be my fav.) convey what the world should be like. and how it is when you are around good music and peacelovin folks.
