and i really like the song How Sweet it is by Jerry Garcia.

 

wayyyyy too many good ones to pick favorites.....

 

same for me, but i like the 60s/ earlier 70s songs the best.

 

China /rider

Scarlet/Fire
Let It grow
SO Many roads
friend of the devil
the other one when they come outta space with it.

 

you said it man, but from time to time it changes from...

friend of the devil
dire wolf
eyes of the world
shakedown street
just way to many for me to even think of, damn this is gonna make me think for a while, more than the phish song threah,

good choice for a thread...

 

I Left SHAKEDOWN off my list, I suck.....

 

Well I'll be, Pretty much just like mine.

I know they're all the pretty well-known, common favorites...but there's a reason for that. I also love...Attics of my Life, and of course, the most imprinting song of my childhood - Teddy Bear Picnic. That Grisman Garcia "Not for Kids Only" is the reason I am the way I am I think...they brainwashed me as a small child, just like Paul McCartney and his Rupert cartoons.

 

damn I am old here....I will go away.

 

Oh know, stay! By the way, what is your sig from??? I KNOW that from somwhere, I can hear it...

doin that rag. thats my favorite. followed closely by viola lee blues, box of rain, alice d millionaire, morning dew, scarlet-->fire, and franklin's tower.

and of course, any live version of truckin or good lovin(with pigpen)

heres a little morsel of fact... shady grove is actually originally a quicksilver messenger service song... but that version is excellent as well. good choice!
