Definitely one of the best versions ever.
That whole list of shows is great. I must have great taste in music because I already have everyone of them! :)

I would also add May 5,19, and 21, 1977 to your list in the recommended. Actually, just get the entire month of May 1977. In my opinion, the greatest month in Dead musical history; still unmatched to this day by any other band, and it will NEVER be matched.

I recommended 12/2/73 or Hundred Year Hall to Brad instead. :)

"I have 4 120GB drives that are between 2 and 3 years old now. In the next year I'll probably pick up a couple new ones and move the collection over for my peace of mind."
So much for waiting 'till next year: )

The large sucking sound you will hear come Sept. will be me + my hard drives + and a cable connection!!! : )
I'm doing some research online now regarding external HD's and this recent thread by Brad and others has given me something to go on.

8/27/72 is similar, in that the Dark Star is great, the playin is good, and the bird song is nice, but there's no real unique combinations or anything to make it really special.
I like the weird combos like 5/24/69.

Also, what about 6-10-73 with the Allmans at RFK??? It's the most downloaded show on the Archive for a reason.
Still, this list is awesome. Once again, thanks for starting a really good discussion. :)

The first China Cat > Rider since '74? After a ripping Playin'? And as a segue into the most beautiful China Doll ever?
That and the fact that Bobby starts off the show with a great line referencing the "just exactly perfect brothers band" before the band plays my personal favorite (and perfect, in my mind) version of Jack Straw.
This show actually provided the inspiration for an out-of-body experience. I found myself floating, without the aid of psychadelics, in the middle of the room and looking down on my body while Phil and Jerry led me to a blissful near-oblivion beginning with the post-chorus Playin' and continuing through NFA.
Any self-respecting Deadhead has to recognize the quality of this show. Other greats that went unmentioned are 10-29-77 (Estimated>Eyes>Space>St.Stephen and Let it Grow from the first set are highlights) and 12/29/79 - the intro to NFA and the Uncle John's>Estimated>He's Gone being the highlights.
I judge Dead shows based on the sound, period. My one and only qualification is that a show should be able to persuade a mere civilian that they ought to spend some more time listening to the band. Does anyone else agree?

8-6-71
"Hard to Handle"---This song alone makes the show one of the best. Also, it is one of the crispest audience recordings I have ever heard, from any era.

Like any Deadhead, I'd disagree on a couple things (f'rinstance, I don't think the Dead played THAT hot on 12-31-78, no matter how great the set list was.)
But you make your case well, and that's a real nice 10-pack of shows.

It's a different remaster but it's the show none-the-less.

Also try 7-18-1976 ~ that whole week long run from the Orpheum is cool.
