Thanks John and Diana! I definitely noticed John's post and appreciated his remarks. I was actually thinking the same thing about compilations, best of type albums. I have a pretty good idea where to begin. Slowly but surely.

Thanks to everyone!

Wow, thanks for all the information Roman! I like the 17th row picture! That was sweet of you to include. Very excited! It will take me some time to read through everything more carefully. Thanks again for your suggestions.

Oh Eskimo! You have me in complete tears. Thank you.

I used to think, after Jerry Garcia is gone, someone else could take his place and The Dead would continue. Jerry can never be replaced. It's not the same no matter how you spin it. I have to think about this for a while. I really appreciate your words Gina, thanks for sharing what Mr. Cohen is thin...

Of course I'm reading all the responses, over and over! Thank you to everyone! It's exciting to know what you all appreciate the most and to try to figure out where I should began. The neatest part is that I actually already have one cd...The Beacon show! I only wish I had the whole thing. At least ...

Well actually I knew everything except for two songs at the Beacon show. I've only been listening to songs I've found on a website called playlist.com

thanks for any suggestions

What do you think my first LC album should be?!
How about top five?

Thanks for any help!

Thank you so much John! I really appreciate the help! Nice to meet you. Which shows are you going to? I did the Beacon and now I'm only doing Red Rocks. Most likely, missing out on the Dead. But I'm doing a Will Oldham aka Bonnie Prince Billy tour, have you heard of him? I don't actually have time t...

Wow!

I believe you. I suppose it was just too hard for me to believe that you really and truely would rather hear them sing it than him. And I guess a big part of that reason is because of the joy he receives. Ok, It's getting into my thick head! I suppose the truth is I am the selfish one! I understand.

Why would you even campare the way he sings it, to the way they sing it? Do you really think that is an issue? It almost sounds like you think he is having some kind of selfish moment, the enjoyment of their performance. Do you really think that? To me, he doesn't seem egotistical. Like he is high a...

Thanks Diana! I would like to expand it to include my feelings on meeting all of you. I wanted to mention the town you are from, but I couldn't remember the name. Something like clear water??? The last few paragraphs I thought were ok. I'll keep working on it. I didn't have much time and I wanted to...

Thanks everyone!

You don't actually think he doesn't sing it because he doesn't think he sings it well. You can't be saying that. Rabbit is in-love, we got that straight. I love how Hydroit wrote...the chance never was....the choice has only ever been... I just thought it was cute. And then somone wrote, it couldn't...

Thanks for your kind words!

I meant that I give up here. I certainly don't give up in my heart!
