Got into 'em way too late to see any shows, but i did see Planet Drum (Mickey Heart) a few years ago and it blew my fucking mind.

favorite shows:
68-2/14
69-4/26,27
69-8/16 (Jerry's acid rambalings are what really does it for me, as well as the kickass Lovelight. Thats right, a 3rd coast!)
70-7/16 (Pigpen/Joplin duet on Lovelight - kills it!)
71-4/17 (Classic Pigpen rap on Good Lovin')
pretty much any show from Europe '72
74-10/16-20 (including Mickey Heart's triamphent return on the last set of the last show before the 3 year hiatus)
78-1/22
78-12/31

favorite song would be from 3/2/69 - Alligator > We bid you Goodnight Jam > Jam, into Caution. Bitchin'.

edit: anybody feel like the Dead's sound sorta died with Pigpen? I mean, they were still sick after, but he was such an integral part of the original feel - key solo's, raps. RIP Ron McKernan, the original MC.
