Underrated Grateful Dead songs

I figure if Pearl Jam can get a thread then one of the legendary touring bands of all time deserves one too.
Built To Last - the album was panned pretty badly by critics but I always loved this song. One of my absolute favorites by them.

I never really see Here Comes Sunshine mentioned and the Dick's Picks Vol. 1 version is one of my favorite Dead songs

Two great jerry ballads that came later in his career.
I saw phil last month with john scofield and john medeski and they opened with built to last and it was pretty awesome.

Casey Jones....
Only kidding. It is the only one I really know because I guess it is the most famous.

I guess I will start with this...what is considered their signature songs?
For me, I always loved Sugaree and their version of El Paso...but would not be considered their greatest hits...

I would say Sugaree is a top 10 dead song. Was my favorite for a long time.
Posted on 8/24/13 at 10:16 am to TreyAnastasio
Sugaree is most definitely a staple of the Dead

Ya, I think all of the songs I posted were staples outside maybe Comes A Time. Just songs that aren't talked about as much as the biggies. I'll add Blow Away and Black Muddy River.
Wish they would have played Simple Twist OF Fate

I have been listening to way more JGB than Dead over the past year or so
Posted on 8/24/13 at 11:08 am to HeadyBrosevelt

Nobody really enjoys listening to the grateful dead. It's just the crap that had to happen before we could have phish

I was at a Gov't Mule show in '07 and Bob Weir came out. There was a group of clean cut older guys (probably late 40s) who started going nuts when he got on stage. First song they played was Sugaree and right when the first notes were played these guys lost it. They went completely insane, jumping up and down, hugging each other, high fiving,etc. It was by far the most I've seen anyone react to a song. Pretty cool, you could tell they were an old group of friends who were beyond stoked to relive their glory days with the Grateful Dead.
Keep in mind this was before Furthur came to frution.
That Mule show was sick. John Paul Jones also came on stage and they played outstanding versions of Moby Dick, Since I've Been Loving You, and No Quarter.
