Check out the, "Deadheads Taping Compendium" Series. Each volume gives a list of what the contributors consider to be the best versions of each song from that era. These can be difficult to find and expensive to buy, however. If you can get your hands on them, they'll prove to be a great resource. Rock on.

Is there a place to find a solid list of the best versions of a bunch of Dead songs? There seems to be a lot of well-informed opinions in the comments sections for shows on archive.org and they often lead me to versions that no one mentioned in the Deadbase reader's polls, which is surprising to me. Obviously, its hard to look at all the comments for each show on archive.org. Is there a place besides Deadbase where this has been attempted? Matthew Wester
