Does anyone know if the Dead ever did a version of "Who do you love?"?
I heard a version of it once while waiting for a movie to start that I
would swear was them. As you might expect, it was great, and I'd appreciate
if anyone could set me straight on this, or point me towards a bootleg or
other record that might have it.

As usual, HP has nothing to do with what I say here.jws@dartvax.UUCP (John W. Scott) (07/29/85)
The Dead have played Who Do You Love twice back in 1972. 04-14-72 Tivoli Theater, Copenhagen and 05-11-72 Civic Hall, Rotterdam. I have a tape of the second show. They do a reasonable version, though it is on the short side. Check out some of the QMS live versions to hear how it should really be played. --John

I'm not sure if the Dead ever did a version, but you might have heard the Quicksilver Messenger Service version. It's on their Happy Trails Album on Capitol records. (QMS was yet another San Francisco band I believe).

I have a tape of a "Who Do You Love" from Luxemborg in '72 (I don't have the tape here but I seem to remember 5/16/72 as the date.) It's an excellent jam by Pigpen out of Good Lovin'. By the way, Pigpen's Good Lovin's from that time are my favorite. They're quite intense, showing Pigpen at his emotional best. The one from Paris 5/3/72 set 1 is a good example. -- -- Jim Salem Thinking Machines Corporation, Cambridge, MA ihnp4!think!salem, salem@think.com.arpa 617-876-1111

In article<2355@think.ARPA> Jim Salem writes that he has a version of
Who Do You Love? from Luxembourg. I think the version that he mentions
is actually from Rotterdam. His description of the Good Lovin fits
the excellent version in that show (it outshines the WDYL?).
I doubt that the Dead played Who Do You Love at the Radio Luxembourg
show (05-16-72) The set lists I have are as follows: 1) Bertha, Uncle,
Mr. C, Sugaree, BTWind, China> Rider, BIODTL,Hurts Me 2, Tennessee, Playin,
Promised 2) Truckin> Drumz> Other 1> Sing Me, Sugar Mags, Fadeaway E: S'Nite
The sets that did have it are as follows: 04-14-72 Tivoli 2) Truckin, LLRain,
Dark Star> Sugar Mags, Good Lovin> Caution> Who Do You Love> Caution> Good
Lovin, Ramble On, Fadewaya> GDTR> Fadeaway> S'Nite E: Sing Me
05-11-72 Rotterdam 2) Dew, Uncle, 2 Souls In Communion, El Paso, Tennessee,
Next Time, Dark Star> Drumz> Dark Star> Sugar Mags> Caution> Who Do You Love>
Caution> Truckin, Uncle John
The instances of WDYL? seem to revolve around Caution jams (a good thing to
revolve around). Pig Pen belts out a couple of verses and then the song
resolves itself back into Caution. If anyone does have any versions of
WDYL? that doesn't go along with these set lists, I would be very interested
to hear them. It is a great song, but I haven't heard a Dead version yet
that realy does it justice...

I'm not sure if the Dead ever did a version, but you might have heard the
Quicksilver Messenger Service version. It's on their Happy Trails Album
on Capitol records. (QMS was yet another San Francisco band I believe).
BTW, Thorogood did an excellent version WITH BO DIDDLEY at Live Aid.
