My vote is... Visions of Johanna (I am pretty sure it was less than ten... if not, my vote is Ballad of a Thin Man)
I will reveal the results tomorrow, with a new poll.

I'd like to appeal the judge's ruling on maximum number of performances on behalf of Cold Jordan, which is listed in 13 shows, one of which is actually a studio recording. So how about allowing 12 for such a great tune?
Or does Mission in the Rain qualify, even though it was on a Garcia album?

Then cancel any other votes I may have made or implied, and I will be the lone voice crying out (lost in the regions of lead) for What's Become of the Baby.

Two Souls in Communion - Okay maybe not obscure but sadly only played 13 times. I have only heard a few so I'll let those more in tune with 1972 guide you to the best.

Kind of changes the view of it for me; kind of like learning Supsicious Minds was Elvis singing to Col Tom.

Speaking of this tune - I realize this song probably wasn't meant this way but I can never hear this song as anything else than buying drugs in the Mission District.

This note from a reader:
From: John [mailto:FriscoJohn@comcast.net]

Subject: Mission In the Rain
David,
Many thanks for your work on the Dead...."Annotated" is a resource I've used time and time again to clarify lyrics.
I've been thinking a lot lately about Mission in the Rain. I believe the word "bell" should probably be spelled "belle"....or at least, is a very deliberate pun.
The song, of course, is about a guy walking through the San Francisco Mission district at midnight in the rain. The main thing you will find at midnight around 17th and Mission (where Hunter used to live) is hookers, and this has been true at least back to the early Sixties. (For street hookers, tourists in SF go to the Tenderloin, near the big hotels. The locals have always come to the Mission). The main hooker area for many years in the Mission has been 16th to 18th on Mission, and 16th to 18th on the parallel alley, Capp. **
There are no Mission Bells at midnight in the Mission....but there are many Mission "Belles." Other things which point to this in the song:
"I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break...." (He's broke, or doesn't have enough money?)
"Someone called my name, you know, I turned around to see...." (A girl he'd been with before?)
Other lyrics also seem to fit.... (There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco Rain...) etc.
Warm Regards,
John B. Andrews
** this is only slightly less true today....the influx of yuppies has resulted in a bit of a crackdown....but the girls are still there.

Also, I really enjoyed them doing "Goodnight Irene".
Sometimes I live in the county, sometimes I live in the town, sometimes I get a great notion, to jump in the river and drown (for Hank Stamper).

Mine is clearly What's Become of the Baby, if songs that were never performed in concert are permitted.
Otherwise Blues for Allah narrowly pips Till the Morning Comes and Rosemary in my book.
BTW, I toyed with Golden Road, Cream Puff War, and Mindbender (Confusion's Prince)--all of which have ten or fewer performances in the databases--but it seems certain that they were all played a fair number of times in shows whose setlists have been lost.
