What Grateful Dead New Year's Eve show would you recommend?

[OAITW r.2.0]

Probably will be switching from organized sports to music soon and I am sure it will be a Dead NYE show.

1. Im a fan of the 1978 one myself

Of course, there is also a DVD available of it, which does help

4. And here it is ... with Bill Graham riding a flaming joint (miss you, Bill ...)

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Yeah, this is what I'll probably play.

It was a truly great time for really excellent music.

2. Ah, I assume you're referring to the very last show at the Winterland?

The one with The Blues Brothers as the opening act, and the only Winterland concert bootleg tapped in color?

12/31/1981 Oakland Auditorium. They played a version of Dark Star that was extraordinary.
