I always thought ratdog would do pretty good with Love Potion No. Nine by The Clovers.

I'm not sure if this would work too good but I would have loved to hear the GD cover Paul Simon's Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes.
It would of have me up and dancing!

Don't know why, but I always thought Grateful Dead doing The Who's Eminence Front would be pretty interesting.

Compared to What is fantastic song - but I don't see this as a Weir cover.

A '69 Suzy Q with Phil on
A '69 Suzy Q with Phil on vocals would have rocked and could have totally opened up into a jam.
The Dead should have played more CCR. Bad Moon Rising by Weir is a natural.
Down on the Corner would have been a great summer 1990 first set opener, trade off vocals
Also:
A Mydland Wheel's on Fire, spring '90.
A Garcia Tomorrow Is A Long TIme, summer '90, or EU '72.
Weir leading Georgia Satellite's Keep Your Hands to Yourself.
The next was going to be GD, but how about the Allman Brothers somewhow circa 1992 covering Cold Irons Bound? That woulda kicked.
PL&F should have covered Cold Irons Bound with the sextet in 2006.

I'll play.
I'll play.
I always wished JGB would play "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate.
The lyrics are perfect for Jerry and the backup singers and Melvin would have been great on this.

nice thread, I can think of
nice thread, I can think of many, but keeping coming back to The Band tunes. Chest fever, Rag mama rag, etc.
And Floops I think in 69, CCR was far more established as a band. Compatriots at the Fillmore and San Francisco scene. It might have been awkward at that time.
BUT a nice "run through the jungle" or "suzy q" jammed by the GD would have been sweet.

For some reason I always wanted to hear Jerry sing this with the Dead
Bennie & The Jets
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Uh but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh but…
