Wow thats a hard one Prime i guess you would have to be a real 'Deadhead' to answer your question and i'm not one although i have there first few albums from GRATEFUL DEAD to AMERICAN BEAUTY in my cd collection. A friend of mine swears on EUROPE LIVE IN 1971 (if thats the correct title?) but this band has several hundreds of records & cds released so where to start is a hard one??

I'll check out Youtube then and listen to some of their work before I purchase or download anything. Get a feel for their music.
