yeah, that's the one! I still have a clear memory of running across the lawn during "Runaway Jim". hey, you do some weird stuff when you're 17 and high as a kite.

I remember Possum being great, as well.

Hey, finally a thread where I have some expertise [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I saw about 240 shows, from '81 to '95. Too many favs to pick just one song or show, but my short list would include:

2-28-69
11-11-73
12-31-81 (my first show)
10-15-83 (probably my fav. - wasn't there but wish I was. The China>Rider>Playin'>China Doll that opens set II is transcendent.)
1984 Greek Theater run
1989 Cal Expo run

Too much fun...

of course many of the fall 77 shows. besides Cornell, Boston Garden and Buffalo are fantastic.

I much prefer the Buffalo show over the Cornell show. The Cornell show is just more popular because it got much more circulation on tape early on.

ugh. i love the dead, but i would never consider myself a phil lesh fan. anyone else feel this way?

I really don't like hearing Phil sing. The early Phil & Friends shows I went to were very harsh, because he insisted on singing almost every song. Fortunately he has relaxed a bit and let various Friends do more singing.

RatDog shows can be good, but not as dynamic. I don't usually go see those anymore.

Unfortunately I was born in the 70's and only got to see a half dozen live Dead shows - it would've been sweet to see a bunch of those shows from the 70's live.

I also saw 60-70 Phish shows, and I'd have to agree that pre-1998 were better shows. Though I enjoyed them all.

There's a lot of good music out there now.
