Funny, it took me dating a girlfriend who smoked weed to get into The Dead (the one who came with me to the interview). Before then I had their Greatest Hits and liked Casey Jones, Truckin' and a few others. But then I heard Europe '72 and that did it for me!
But still, to this day, I separate The Grateful Dead into their studio catalog and their live albums (both Official and the myriad of bootlegs). I would break it down this way: in the studio the singers sounded better while live there was no comparison, Jerry rocked (and improvised) harder.
Apparently The Dead were even better on 'shrooms and LSD. LOL
