"Alright folks, here's the one it's all about." [View all]

I own most of the commercially released Dead albums...all of the Dave's Picks, Road Trips, Dick's Picks, etc...special box sets like the complete Fillmore 1969 (source of "Live Dead" ) and the full Europe 72 concerts.

The "Last Days of the Fillmore" version of "Johnny B Goode" has always been my single favorite Dead performance. They did Johnny B Goode MANY times onstage, but never like this. Jerry's dangerous and precise. Bob's vocal is perfect. The whole band is completely synchronized and lit up like a Christmas tree. When I heard of Bob's passing, this was the first song I thought of.

Rest in Peace.
