Favorite Grateful Dead Videos, Suggestions
Forums:
I like to put on some GD video while around the house and I'm looking for some suggestions to expand my library.
I kinda prefer the Brent years as my first show was 4/6/82 but any good ones will do.
What are your favs?
Thanks!

I always like the So Far 1987
I always like the So Far 1987 official video release.
Perfect length and sound. I am biased due new to the line up, this was The Grateful Dead I knew and saw.

But yeah, Sunshine Daydream is a wonderful video to be sure...
another just cause.... Ventura 7-13-85 energy is off the hook in this first set. I believe it was Live Aid day and the first couple of tunes were shown at that big stadium during a break, but I am not positive on this... enjoy

Is it safe to assume that the GD saved the video feeds from every show that used the screens?

So many out there and I have only scratched the surface, I have watched more Garcia Band vids than GD but I choose Venetta.

The all down hill from here
The all down hill from here is a classic from Alpine. The band is on fire. Brent really rises to the occasion.

Crimson white & indigo is one
Crimson white & indigo is one of my favorite official releases. Far as others there's way too many to choose from. The capitol theatre b&w videos are great as is roosevelt stadium 8/4/76, but there's a ton of stuff just from voodoonola esp if you like brent era. Maybe my favorite thing about YouTube

The Hard to Handle from the
The Hard to Handle from the Backstage Pass commercial release is my personal all time favorite Dead on Video. Smoking music with intense jam (3-24-1971?) cleverly mixed with old concert footage of the Pigpen era band and the dead guys and friends goofing off.
There is a version floating around on Youtube, but the music and video are a couple seconds off which takes away from how well they mixed it on the commercial release:

Full video of the show, including the Chimpanzee show at setbreak. And Phil is turned WAY up and is an absolute beast. The Help opening the second set will rattle your windows if you turn it up.

The music video for 'Hell In
I know you're looking for entire shows, but the music video for 'Hell In A Bucket' is pretty funny. Definitely worth a look.

This thread is turning in to
This thread is turning in to a marvel. Great choices above. While checking out the above mentioned Merriweather 84 vid I noticed 12/28/83 part of the New Years run at the San Francisco Civic Center which I attended. This is an official pro shot and am grooving on this big time. Jerrys voice is youthful and crystal clear. Excellent quality all around. Worth a viewing for sure.
