Jerry Garcia's 50 Greatest Songs

Tomorrow, August 9, marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead's iconic leader and guitarist. To mark the anniversary, Rolling Stone has assembled a playlist of 50 of his greatest songs. Each song is linked to a live performance video and they span Garcia's years with the Grateful Dead. 

Needless to say it's a great list with some wonderful performances. My only complaint is that it doesn't include more from Garcia's solo career. 

Here's one of my favourites, Eyes of the World, from Roosevelt Stadium in 1976.
