This is for all the deadheads out there. What are your favorite Grateful Dead Songs?

My top 5 have gotta be the following:
1.) St. Stephan (live)
2.) Ripple
3.) Darkstar
4.) Touch of Gray
5.) Box of Rain (live)

Also what are your favorite songs by bands that are similar to the Grateful Dead (ie. Phish, String Cheese Incident, OAR...etc...)? This thread can basically relate to anything related the Dead.

dude the hell touch of gray is the worst song ever

1. help on the way/slipknot/franklins- off 1 from the vault...taped in 1977
2. Scarlet bagonias/fire on the mountain- 1983
3. ripple- reckoning
4. been all around this world-reckoning
5. crazy fingers- 6-14-77

touch of gray is awesome, I dunno what you mean, although now that I think about it I would say that it is not in my top 5. Highway 61 with Bob Dylan is amazing though.
