What makes something the "best"?
Today is the 30 year anniversary of what is widely regarded as the greatest Grateful Dead performance.
I used to start the Scarlet Begonias as I was driving out of Chicago heading back to college at Michigan State. By the time the Fire ended I was half-way into Indiana.
With over 3,000 performances in their history, this one surely stands out. Maybe it's the crispness of the instruments, the voices, the crowd, the time, the place or the convergence of all the above - it's undeniable that the band was just 'on'.
And clearly a lot of people agree
Happy Grateful Dead Day!
