Your Dream Gd/dso Setlist

Recommended Posts

I'm sure this has been done before. Nevertheless, I'm stuck at work right now with not much to do, so I decided to write out my dream Grateful Dead setlist. Its a bit long, and it includes an acoustic first set in the vain of the "Evening with the Dead" concerts. I'm generally not as big a fan of DSO elective setlists as I am of historic shows, but if DSO WERE to play the following show, I would be forced to change my mind. Naturally, its more fun to write out your OWN dream setlist than to read someone else's, so I encourage all you Starheads to list YOUR dream selist. Don't worry about realism or feasability. This should be an all-out, balls-to-the-wall, sweat-drippnig down your forehead kind of show. I'll be interested to see what you all come up with, as the Dead's catalogue is so diverse. Here's mine for starters:

Set 1 (acoustic):

Dire Wolf

Crazy Fingers

Mountains of the Moon

Bird Song

Uncle John's Band

When I Paint My Masterpiece

Set 2:

Playin' in the Band -->

Shakedown Street

They Love Each Other

Cumberland Blues

Me And My Uncle

Mama Tried

Mexicali Blues

Row Jimmy

Bertha

Sugaree -->

Playin' reprise

Set 3:

Sugar Magnolia

Scarlet Begonias -->

Fire on The Mountain

Estimated -->

Eyes of the World

The Other One -->

Drumz -->

Dark Star -->

Let It Grow

Viola Lee Blues

Terrapin Station

Morning Dew

Encore:

St. Stephen -->

William Tell Bridge -->

The Eleven

Brokedown Palace

After a show such as this, what could be left to be said?

So, folks, what would YOUR dream setlist look like? Have at it.

With 4/1 coming up I am reminded of the excellent DSO show a few years back where the entire first set and much of the second was composed of encores. That was cool.

Anyway here's a head-scratcher for today:

1: Sunrise, Help> Slip> Pockey, El Paso> Big River, Stir it Up, Foolish> Alligator> Eleven> Don't Ease

2: Dark Star> Samson> Terrapin> Other One> Drums> Space> Handsome Cabin Boy Jam> Dark Star> Wheel> Other One> Franklins

E: Quinn> Casey
