Pretty sure we’ve done this once or a few times but fuck it.

Always go back to Eyes of the World.

Can’t go wrong with Shakedown Street, or St Stephen, or really anything though.

"Hell in a Bucket" and "Ripple." We had a Mass in high school and the song as we went up for communion was "Ripple."

Father Dave smoked a lot of marijuana cigarettes.

Cassidy, Ripple, and Hell in a Bucket are all great choices too.

Depending on the mood Black Muddy River is usually very high on my list too.

I was never the biggest fan of the band's music(but I like it), but I've always loved those guys and their fan base.

Touch of Grey is a masterpiece of songwriting. I get that it became commercialized and DeadHeads probably resent the popularity of the song, but in terms of one song...it's their best. Period.

My personal favs:
Don't Ease Me In
Scarlet Begonias
Help -> Slip -> Frank

I'm sitting here slightly smacked and amazed at how the music seems to flow with the games (without the game sounds)
