[/quote] I suggest you keep going with it, the dead are a way of life for me man, not everyone understands them but god I wish they did!
"Cosmic Charlie" is my absolute favourite. It has such a slow cadence and really blue grassy notes, such a good jam. While a handful of the songs on this album (Aoxomoxoa) are a bit creepy, such as "Rosemary", most of it is nothing but good ol' Grateful Dead jams. Individually speaking of songs my favs along side of "Cosmic Charlie" are "Loose Lucy", "Eyes of the World", "the Golden Road, "St. Stephen", and "Throwing Stones". I fucking LOVE the Dead (~):}

Barton Hall May 8th 1977 is a great place to start for live shows. Sky Dog posted the Scarlet Fire above. It is my favorite from the show. Also: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiN05I2D88c]Grateful Dead - Dancin' in the Street (May 8, 1977) - YouTube[/ame]
