been a deadhead since i was a youngin'. never got to see them, but still listen to them very avidly. anything between '66 and '77 is your best bet. '78 is still decent, but '66 to '77 they were a force to be reckon with. '66 to '71 is heavy pyschadelic blues shit, '69 being a fucker of a year, esp march. check out live at fillmore '69 that came out a couple years back. some heavy, heavy shit spread over 3 discs (find the bonus 4th disc for some more ear treats). people diss the dead until they hear everything past touch of grey. people are ignorant because of the hippie association but the dead were the best of the best for a long time. even lee ranaldo is a huge fan and wrote a nice piece on jerry when he passed away and it was published in rolling stone
