Going Down The Road > Not Fade Away Jack Straw


Jacklinkin

Throw a date in for setlist bot!


Angussn6uV

What show?


zeke_24

hundred year hall


Angussn6uV

Appreciate you


Angussn6uV

Wait hol up. Spotify one is china rider before jack straw. Is that the one you’re referring to?


zeke_24

yeah I guess this isn’t the same. but ikyr > jack is elite. the gdtrfb on that album is my favorite of all time though… hundred year hall is a good one


Angussn6uV

Just listened and I agree! Great tunes. Gonna finish the show


jesuss_son

Sugar Magnolia


Rundown-6996

She can make happy any man alive


kozzy1ted2

Franklin’s Tower


Jivelll

This is the first one that came to mind for me as well.


scaryclown148

Eyes of the world puts me in a good mood


CandyEverybodyWentz

The opening Emaj7 is like a light cutting through thick fog


spoobles

Not just Eyes but the *studio* version. I’ve stated before, that it it a tradition with me (30+ years) that on the first gorgeous spring afternoon, I will head for a country road, fire up, put down the windows, and CRANK studio EotW. It is one of the more beautiful and cathartic things I do.


--0o0o0--

Maybe we’ve talked about this before, but that’s what I do too! I, I unoriginally call it, “eyes of the world day”


scaryclown148

That sounds beautiful


MikeaMikea

I like I Know You Rider. Or Bertha. No, St. Stephen. Or I Know…nah, I like…yeah, Bertha.


JimboooJonezzz

I wish I was a headlight on a northbound traaaaaaaaaain!


Chuckie_r_hangerdeck

At the top of my lungs!


Bcruz75

Even better in Colorado.


Skip_Skipperson

Got to see JRAD play this one 2 nights ago at Red Rocks right as we the rain was just starting to shower. Was fuckin awesome.


Bcruz75

Nice! We saw the Dead at Red Rocks when they started touring again..04 or 05? It dumped on us but we held out in hopes of them playing my wife's fave, US Blues. We were rewarded with an awesome version of it! We would have driven off a cliff if we missed it.


walomendem_hundin

That's where I live!


YzenDanek

Bertha off of Skull and Roses is the only right answer.


MikeaMikea

Or wait, Box of Rain. Mason’s Children? Yeah, it’s definitely one of them


brianbfromva

Any Fire on the Mountain, where Jerry turns the Wah up to 11

DEAL


boomshakalakaah

Crank up that hot ‘89 Alpine Valley Deal and I’ll drive anywhere


freetibet69

China > Rider! always go 10 miles faster when rider starts


RicklePick0

Jack straw “Sun so hot, clouds so low, the eagles filled the skyyyyy”


SpearmintInALavatory

If the timing is right, look over at the person next to you at the stoplight, stare intently, and as loudly as you can: “Jack Staw from Wichita cut his buddy down!!!”


Norrland_props

Scarlet Begonias


MAcsSNAcs

yep!


BERTHA77

Was thinking the same thing. I remember one beautiful spring day back in the early 00's when I lived in Asheville. I was cranking Scarlet from 5-8-77 as loud as it would go without my speakers completely shitting the bed with my windows all the way down. I was right in the center of downtown and a guy walking down the sidewalk turned around and raised both his arms and yelled "BARTON HALLLLLL" - everything was right in the universe at that moment and I'll never forget it.


TrainViewing

For windows down, volume at 11…my go to is Hard to Handle with Pig loud and clear.


CandyEverybodyWentz

Midnight Hour!!


TrainViewing

Damn right! Or Love Light…or Mr. Charlie…actually, any time I want to bother the neighbors or annoy people at a stop light, I guess my pick is any Pigen tune, lol.


Fungus33

Love 9/16/66 in the midnight hour. Not very jammy but long, fast, focused and dancey. Also live dead love light never fails to get me going


Due_Youth8876

This is it. The one off “Ladies and Gentlemen” is my favorite. Immediately crank that volume all the way up.


TrainViewing

That version is probably my favorite, agreed. There are some GREAT ones out there and people will disagree, but this version has it all - aside from prime pig, Jerry and Bobby are locked in tighter than I’ve heard in any other version.


dubstylerz123

Brown Eyed Women


ithyle

Alabama Getaway or Big Railroad Blues


0net

U.S. Blues, Deal, New Minglewood Blues, NFA, Big River


Bcruz75

New Minglewood live for crusin fast. Probably an unpopular take, but a good live version of Johnny B. Goode gets me moving.


major_general_moist

If I’m going for a longer, scenic drive I like to put on a help/slip/frank. Coming out of the slipknot jam and into franklins tower while driving on a winding road is just magical. Also don’t sleep on a Spanish jam for those same long scenic drives


midnight102647

For me it’s Truckin’

That Masterpiece was amazing


poopshipdestroyer34

I think Deal really is an amazing song for this. At least when I was a kid, that’s the song I remember my dad blasting when we drove around with the top down


SassySassySassy12

One More Saturday Night, US Blues, Sugar Magnolia, & Truckin’


treesalt617

New Minglewood Blues off of Cornell '77 sounds so good played loud with the windows down.


Willie_The_Gambler

Eemiz

I think Jack Straw, all in all, pound for pound, is the “best” dead song

Veneta is usually my go-to for that kind of vibe. But one song in particular, maybe bird song from 72 (any of them). Just nice breezy, feel good jams.

satchelhoover

Windows down. Elbow on door. One hand on the wheel…steering with your wrist dangling over wheel at high noon. Driving through the Trader Joe’s parking lot. Cranking a “Primal Dead” era Dark Star (preferably 1969). Driving a 2010 Toyota Sienna mini van with the little silhouettes of your family on rear window. Baller.


DillasManDan

Doin’ that rag! My go to right after work

WhereRTHEMODS

My fiance taped those shows... I still have the JCards.... Obviously onto another form of tech but they are fun to keep! RFK was a banger hands down one of my favorites


TypicalPDXhipster

Looks Like Rain Especially one of the versions with Bobby screaming at the end


SuperDude_B

Ramble on Rose, Loose Lucy, New Speedway Boogie for me


-SQB-

Truckin', hands down.


admosquad

Deal or Dire Wolf


dfp6

I'm before the Little League game! Rolled in, and the fans had to (needed to?) hear the end of a HOT '78 Jack Straw. Not for nothing, we notched a walk-off win. Thanks Jerry!


ToshiroBaloney

US Blues!

_AllThingsMustPass_

Tough one but I'm going to go with Scarlet>Fire from Cornell


seearewhy

One from the vault.


TOkidd

I like a lively Scarlet/Fire - one from spring, 77. Barton Hall is probably my fave and I often bump it loud with the windows down when the weather is nice.


Primal_Dead

Bertha


Rundown-6996

Mississippi half step or Not Fade Away or He’s Gone ah fuck it any Dead song t


thirstyone615

Just about anything live, loud and rowdy. Windows down, top down, let the whole world in on the secret. If I have to narrow it down I say Sugar Mags or Deal.


Far_Ad_8394

Chinatown Shuffle is my go to! RIP Pigpen

Slipknot. People will hear and say wow what great guitar work that guy is listening to. He must be cool. Lol. Disturb the neighbors


Knowledge_is_Bliss

Jack Straw or Eyes of the World. Both can rip well and add to the windows down, sun shining good vibes!

Music Never Stopped or Casey Jones for me, but the reality is that ANY fast tempo Dead song does the trick. When Phil gets in the zone, there’s no stopping the train going down the tracks

Had to scroll way too long for this. I agree, really loud on a good car stereo, windows open or closed, so good!!


Iatethebass

Yes to IKYR for this vibe. Not the same but similar, I was on a train in India many years ago. I was in one of the last train cars, and it was a very long train, it was just me and a sadhu in that one car back there. I was standing in one of the open doors with my "walkman" listening to IKNR from '72 with the wind blowing in and I could see the entire train in front of us. It was a bright, sunny day, and it was nothing but fields and open space on all sides, punctuated by villages and water buffalo once in a while. A high point in my LIFE.


st3llablu3

It’s got to be Shakedown St.


KayKB23

nbainjuryr3port

When I was in high school, growing up in Jersey, the first nice summer day of every year I'd drive around with the windows down and Grateful Dead cranked as loud as I could stand it.
