These were the versions on the debate table until the end. With a project such as this we felt it remiss to not mention these as they are all serious business Dead jam segments. We also avoid lighting the fire under hot-heads such as myself by including versions that some may have felt strongly about.

Hey, GS. I'm JF, and I run the Liner Notes Music Blog along with ECM - you might know him from the 31 Days of Dead projects or his @31DaysofDead account in Instagram. Back in the day, we were members of the Grateful Dead Clubhouse gang who complied this list (and so many others).

Here's our story:

And here's our lists, including the segments (p sure the links still work):

Glad you're digging this stuff. It was truly a labor of love for the GD community.
