What's the best Dead song? The one that's on right now!

Growling, aggressive, hard driving Samson that deserves to be on this list.

The good news: I was at this show!... The less good news: I got in with about 2 minutes left in the song.

I hated knowing that this tune was the last I was gonna hear for the night. As a Set 1 closer, it was great. It fit right in the Might As Well/ Deal slot, and you knew that you had a whole set of music to go. A great, peppy version from the best show of all the Ventura shows

I'm not that big of a post-hiatus Keith fan, but the interplay between him and Jerry is lovely... the harmonies are also wonderful... and (being an '80s Deadhead) Jerry remembers all the lyrics.

This is amazing. Never heard one close to this... EVER.

This is the best one I ever saw. A great anchor to an amazing show.... among the best of 84 - 85.
