Greek Theater

Honored to be the one to submit this one even if I'm shocked it's not here. This is an outstanding version. Brent is spectacular here on all fronts.

Sugar Magnolia
March 23, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Out of "Stella" comes a thrashy, supercharged, cocaine infused "Sugar Magnolia" that's just delightful.

The Other One
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

The Magnificent Seven lineup of 1991 strike again with this trippy little concoction. Flows beautifully into verse 2 of "Dark Star."

Space
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Ferocious beam banging. Disembodied Vader voices. Frightening, unhinged "Space." Leads perfectly back into "Dark Star."

Friend of the Devil
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

Outstanding version with beautiful keyboard work from Brent. Can't believe this one hadn't been posted yet.

The more I listen the more this becomes maybe my favorite post-Brent version. cgarces, I remember you mentioning you're not big on this song, but I'd be curious to hear your take on this version.

This could use a couple of daps. Best version of a year that was not the best for the band or this duo. Not an unmitigated classic, but still very good.
The Other One
March 27, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

This "Other One" is such a delicious appetizer for the main course that is the "Dew." Listen up, this is explosive.
Candyman

Winterland Arena

No debate on this one. Beautiful.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

One of the best. Sweet as honey. Jerry sounds a little sharp vocally but I don't look to the Dead for perfection or shit like that. The passion is all there.
