Wharf Rat
June 16, 1985
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."
4
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.

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.
