Lovely version from an underrated show. Nice harmonies from Brent especially and Jerry's solos sparkle.

How is this not here? Smooth, emotive version with a soaring solo from Jerry. Bruce buttresses it beautifully. Top version.

Friend of the Devil

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Should be way higher. Might be my new favorite live "Friend." Extremely well played.
The Wheel

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.

Love this one.
And We Bid You Goodnight

My favorite version ever played.

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.
