So, this song was recommended to me and is truly beautiful (esp the solo from 3min 45) - but i know Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead released a shed load of stuff.
Any recommendations where to start?

Edited for you !
Start with "Workingman's Dead" or "Anthem of the Sun", "Blues for Allah" is good or any of the 1000s of live albums out there when they can stretch out into very long versions.
Jerry Garcia's solo stuff is pretty decent too especially "Cats under the stars" or "Run for the roses".

Every year or so they release a bunch of live recordings, they call it "30 Days of Dead" and each day another track is made available. Blumming fabulous stuff, highly recommended.

I was really into West Coast bands but never warmed to the very highly rated Dead. From the OP’s post it reminds me why I wasn’t a fan. That is a very vocally insipid version and Dylan and dare I say this is also a much better version ( granted the Dead’s instrumental parts are good!)

Bet you wouldn't expect this one, it has a certain ramshackle charm and one of my faves:

This! Skeletons from the Closet is a GD approved compilation and a good intro.
Jerry Garcia's blue grass stuff is also pretty good. A great version of wild horses.
Saw them at Wembley, fantastic.
After you've gone through all the GD stuff, try Frank Zappa. The lock down will be over by the time you finish

Mrs JVW is a huge ‘Deadhead’. We watched a very interesting Grateful Dead documentary on Prime a couple of years ago. If it is still on there it is worth a watch.
