Talk about a sleeper...along with the "PITB" before it, this is probably the last time the Grateful Dead really went the distance in terms of jamming.

Searing work from Brent in a typically strong 1989 version. Surprised this was represented from a legendary show.

Creepy crawly version with lots of different themes and moods just like all good Spaces.

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.
