Garcia and Hunter were a great combo for music and lyrics. Studio stuff is a mix of blues, jazz, Americana, folk, bluegrass, country, psychedelic rock, etc. and the live stuff just takes all that and adds a ton of jam and transition to it as well as covers of many songs that became near standards for them.
The live performances when they were On were just amazing - look at the interaction between Jerry and Brent -
Or just general Lets Party jam -
Watch a mid-40s black man who was raised in Compton discover the Dead and Get On The Bus with this epic Scarlet Begonias with a transition to Fire on the Mountain (transition starts a few minutes before you really can hear it, very cool)
