GratefulHeads

Community-ranked Grateful Dead & JGB versions and shows

Find the best live versions of Grateful Dead & Jerry Garcia Band songs.

Rankings combine Archive.org ratings, review counts, download history, DeadBase & Reddit polls, and open fan votes. Filter any song or show list by year or era, or search any song, date (e.g. 5/8/77), or venue above.

A note from the builders: GratefulHeads was made strictly to carry on the spirit of HeadyVersion - not to copy or steal from the original site. We never scraped it; we just missed having that simple resource around and wanted to keep something like it alive for all Deadheads.
