For studio albums - defintely get 'American Beauty' as one of your first buys. For studio stuff after that, 'Workingman's Dead' is pretty great too, followed by 'Wake of the Flood' and 'From the Mars Hotel'.

After 'American Beauty' though, you should get 'Europe 72', 'Live/Dead' or 'Skull & Roses', all of which are brilliant live albums as good as any studio release.

Or, if you got the money, buy the two box sets, 'The Golden Road' and 'Beyond Description', each has all their studio albums remastered and expanded with studio and live stuff - great value.

I am not into the Dead myself RJ but they are one of taper friendly bands out there and as a result there are bucket loads of bootlegs that you can get (for free by trading with other traders). But do it quick as they have just signed a deal with Rhino records to release a heap of their recordings.
Drop me a PM if you want any more info

I found a website www.archive.org, there are alot of live concerts from it. I think you might have to download Winamp to download the songs.

Hope it helps.
