Weir was asked, "If there were one song you't want to be remembered for, what would it be?"  His response - "Cassidy"

 

Thanks for sharing this, Uncle Sam.  Very insightful, obviously.

 

Before I read this I would have put Cassidy in my top 10 GD songs (if forced to pick such a thing).  Has a unique blend of dreamy storytelling and a bit of a western vibe on the back of psychedelic rock and a big opening near the end for extended improvisation to be jammed out.  Checks all the boxes.

 

I'll add a link to one of my favorite versions from a show I attended.  Raw and open feel to this one.  Sent me to the moon and back.  You'll also appreciate the encore. :)

Not sure how Heady Version doesn't even have this on the list:

Buffalo '77 and Horton '78 have always been up there as has 6/29/76

I realize you're being rhetorical, but I would say there is a bit of a lemming phenomenon that goes on over there.  There's also some limitations that appear to follow official releases.  Kids can't vote on something that they never heard.

 

So get your happy ass over there and register and add your faves!  Part of the problem or part of the solution! :) 

 

Oh, and please use your same handle so I don't get confused.
