My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

Friend of the Devil
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Should be way higher. Might be my new favorite live "Friend." Extremely well played.
The Wheel
Oct. 27, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This is the closest I've heard a Dead "Wheel" come close to matching the vibe and energy of the studio version.
Cold Rain and Snow
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

Love this one.
And We Bid You Goodnight
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

My favorite version ever played.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
May 31, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

This is the best post-Brent version of this song; Jerry's solo is fantastic and the intertwining of the MIDI trumpet sound with Vince's organ really fits this song well. Beats even 3/20/92 with Bruce.
