Going Down the Road.......

IMHO, the signature song of the Grateful Dead....if there was any song that got everyone up and rocking, it was this one. The very best version I've found, is this one-

But....the very best...and the album that I, and 5MM other people said. "wtf?" was launched in 1971 - Live Dead - ...take a listen and appreciate the sonic fidelity that this live band presented to us 41 years ago....and why they've always been the yardstick against which every R&R band must meet. When you say Rock and Roll, this band is what I hear.
