For me, American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, and Europe '72.

Good shout there but I would replace Europe 72 with Hundred year hall. Recorded on the same tour but with HYH you get what the crowd heard that night rather than something that was messed with back at the studio.

 

There are so many different versions of the Dead and for me the years 70 till 74 is the best, the rest you can keep especially live stuff with Mickey Hart, he just seemed to overplay and left no space for the tunes to breathe.

 

They had such a rocky country feel to them before heroin entered the scene in late 74, early 75 and Garcia got hooked :(

 

The problem with getting hooked on the band is you can end up with a rather large collection. Most of these were bought 15 + years ago and I stupidly took them out their cases and into plastic sleeves. Not one of my better ideas!
