Love the Dead LIVE, but the best Box of Rain version is the Studio one. Phil Lesh's voice was perfect when it was first recorded.

Really sweet early acoustic version

29
The band is playing all over this version. Great collective jam, Jerry and Keith sound great despite sound quality problems.

Cool Box here. Has neat Jerry intro.

27
A+ for the crowd alone. Are there better ones? Of course. But I was there & the ecstacy after 14 years of no Box makes this version legendary.

phil gets the final say

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

Might be my favourite studio song. They never did the song any justice live, but this version is really good.

18
This song is always great...prototypical Dead...God bless Phil

15
Phil wrote the song, and this is the version that he chose for the Fallout From the Phil Zone album, so...

2nd set opener phil love

A really nice tight version from 1972. A bit different with Keith and Donna vs the 80s/90s versions.

Box of Rain usually pales in comparison to the studio version but this is great rendition from a excellent show
