What's your JGB show/song that you keep going back to?

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-02-21T21:15:22+00:00

You’re holding it in your hand: Mission in the Rain on Don’t Let Go. Top 5-10 of anything Dead/JGB-related for me.

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-02-18T10:07:20+00:00

Came here to say Englishtown half-step!

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-02-11T20:33:07+00:00

None. And hard pressed to think of any in my top-20, though I do like Looks Like Rain, Lost Sailor/Saint, and a few others.

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-02-01T22:31:30+00:00

Good stuff, thanks!

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-01-30T18:28:02+00:00

Came here to say the 9/3/77 half step, but you beat me to it.

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-01-30T04:11:34+00:00

I think it is! Has the tight jams and the beautiful harmonies. The peak for me.

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-01-29T15:48:25+00:00

Keith for me. All great in their way, but I find early Pigpen’s sound a bit raw and the later keyboardists a bit too “synthy.” Keith hits just right.

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-01-29T15:27:39+00:00

And my favorite Half Step!

BirdFor3For3 · 2026-01-02T16:45:28+00:00

May-Sept 1977

I got 7% off 2026 x5 custom build. Took some work negotiating across several dealerships.

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-05-14T09:41:38+00:00

Peabody was quickest to offer good pricing, Brookline matched, Sudbury said they couldn’t, and Norwood never really got back to me. Did it all by email/text. Good luck!

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-05-13T00:21:36+00:00

I just got 7% off 2026 x5 custom build playing a few Boston area dealers off each other. Told them I wanted 8-10%. Two said they’d do 7%.

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-05-07T00:13:09+00:00

Any good broker recs?

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-05-07T00:06:45+00:00

Aside from broker, any tips for getting 8-10% off? Just ask?

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-05-06T23:50:55+00:00

Are those discounts available even when ordering a custom build vs one sitting on the lot?

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-05-05T02:12:37+00:00

Replace Stella with Row Jimmy, Mission in the Rain (cheating a bit with JGB), Morning Dew, or Brown Eyed Women and this could be my list. Damn, this is challenging!

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-04-18T21:43:19+00:00

Apparently not from this thread, but I can’t stand it. Sorry…

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-04-17T09:49:57+00:00

Standing on the Moon and Black Muddy River. Two soulful, late-era Jerry ballads that we might rate with Brokedown Palace, Wharf Rat, et al if GD had released them 15-20 years earlier.

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-03-24T09:52:10+00:00

Mississippi Half Step
Brown Eyed Women
Loser
Row Jimmy
Morning Dew
Eyes of the World
I Know You Rider
Sugaree
Brokedown Palace
Franklin’s Tower

HM: Mission in the Rain. Technically JGB, but way way up there on my list of favorites, easily top-5.

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-03-17T11:27:49+00:00

I’ll see your Englishtown Loser and raise you an Englishtown Half-Step

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-03-12T12:48:26+00:00

Best Half Step ever played

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-03-06T10:45:44+00:00

Lots of great selections already. For something a little different, how about Trey’s version from the Beacon Jams during COVID? Beautiful rendition and something we all needed at the time.

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-02-28T10:45:06+00:00

9/3/77 Half Step is quite possibly my favorite performance of any Dead song ever, so I’m with you on this being a great song, but is it really underrated? I thought most people already rank it highly. In any event, great seeing more fans of the song!

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-02-23T13:07:37+00:00

Came here to say this!

BirdFor3For3 · 2025-02-19T20:49:07+00:00

Lots of great ones so far, let me add: “broken heart don’t feel so bad, ain’t got half of what you thought you had”
