[magnus]

I'm working into it. Casey Jones/Cocaine (what's the actual name of this damn song?), Althea, Doin' That Rag, I'm starting to find songs I like. But help me out, so I cna get through this faster, what's your favorite Dead songs?

mVm go ahead and record everything on American Beauty and Workingmans Dead. They have so many that it's not about which ones are the best, it's about an experience mon. Enjoy

Suger Magnolia
Uncle John's Band (I think that's the name of it)

I'm not into the Dead that much, although I do appreciate them musically.

Newbies....

Just weed your way through. You’ll be listening to Touch of Grey and Casey Jones now, and Scarlet Begonias, Eyes of the World, and Unbroken Chain later when you get cool.

Seriously, the two Reb recommended are great starters.

Forget all the albums and mumbo jumbo that you can buy in the store. Here is the real deal. If it's not here I will send it to you. All live shows.

Best bet is to get the shn files, and convert them before you burn them, rather than just go for mpg files.

actually I do listen to Eyes of the World already. I picked it up after I heard a Dave Matthews cover of it.
Got a bunch of songs. I should be fine now.
