Grateful Dead - Man Smart, Woman Smarter (Orchard Park, NY, 7/4/89)

[@BDB78]

Jerry’s face and little dance he does when Brent comes in on the second verse. So priceless!❤️💀

[@davidr1676]

I looked at the screen just in time to catch that. My first thought was Jerry had to pee. Of course, I'm at the hospital hooked up to an IV so that's on my mind.

[@karenl668]

I watch this video so much just for that part :) I love Jerry/Brent interactions

[@tonygardner5717]

The rare occasion when each man was keyed in, on time and focused. But yes, Brent especially steps in and goes next-dimension. And YES YES, Jerry catches the spark, breaks off that Snoopy dance, and proceeds to SHRED!

The mind meld going with the flow - fun !

[@ARareAndDifferentTune_13]

That’s my main man right there!!!

[@Sbannmarie]

Totally 💯

Brent was the big boys. Gah damn i miss those guys, brent was a special type of guy. First year with the band and on go to heaven he had two songs of his on that album. Stepping up to bat in the same league where Barlow and Hunter were pouring out their hearts and their poetry was a ballsy and powerful move from Brent and he made it work in a huge way. That first album and year of his in the band, it cemented his place for me roght then and there. It only got bwtter and better through the years, he was literally opening up and blossoming in his final years. Fuck its such a tragedy he had to leave when he did. The band never came back from his departure

[@HMFOG]

Every day

[@arniegruskin2755]

Brent was such a fantastic addition to the Grateful Dead, just perfect

[@billfiveash]

So damn good

[@eddiecovell7572]

Big fan 🙂

[@Doggiesstealthings]

Brent’s my fave. I adore what he touched on the Dead.

[@amygravelle5820]

Brent was the best keyboardist the Dead ever had. I love when I hear him and Jerry jam.

[@BruceBowman42]

Brent was the best songwriter and musician they had on keyboards.

[@michaeltempleton7620]

a tragic loss.

[@davidr1676]

Keith was pretty amazing from when he joined and into 74/75. By 76-77 I still liked his playing but 78 isn't often on my playlists. Brent was well rounded on anything with keys it seemed AND he could sing. Vince had a better vocal range and he filled the bench and was a very nice guy but when stepping into Brent's shoes....sort of like anyone trying to replace the real or imagined Jerry playing, singing, delivery, the grin he'd get with onstage, what he'd see in the closer audience seats, or what we'd see of his personal life at good times. Love these videos and music.

[@markrussell0420]

PIGPEN!!!!! Brent was awesome, but the early dead was, in my opinion, the best the band ever was. Just my opinion. 67-72 years were phenomenal

[@97dgv]

nothing beats seeing jerry so lively and dancing around during this one

[@roxannemccarter8974]

That’s exactly what I was thinking! 💕

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

Yes! It even eclipses Bobby’s short shorts, which is difficult to do. :)

Brent died the following year. RIP to a great musician, singer, songwriter.

[@taradeaton9444]

This was one of those tasty little nuggets that let us know that the Dead were feeling us as much as we were them. Omg I looooooove it. So good.

[@danielevensen84]

Lol - you can see Brent call his own number for the second verse starting at 1:20. He then launches straight into singing the verse without hesitating for a moment or missing a single beat. I just love seeing video of these guys playing together. The on-stage communication is simply brilliant.

When Brent hit that verse!! Goosebumps. I was lucky and found the Dead early as a 14 year old in 86. First shows were 87 and saw lots of Brent. Last shows were Birmingham 95. RIP B&J. Thanks for the music. (Jerry's reaction to the end of Brent's verse - priceless!!)

[@nyclear]

Those were great years!!!

[@bidenscrewedamerica1844]

Loved taping these outdoor shows. Brent was certainly able to bring instant life, to a generic set list on off nights. Still not sure if it was the band that was off those nights or if I just wasn't off enough.

[@gratefuldead]

"This calypso cover first appeared in the Dead's setlists in 1981, and settled into a second-set pre-Drums slot, played occasionally and always getting the crowd dancing. Sometimes, when they were in the mood, Brent would take a verse, always welcome." - David Lemieux

[@63maddog]

Technically my first show was in '72 in Veneta at the country fair. I was 9 so I don't remember anything except for trying to catch up with my German mother who was fascinated with the scene and loved it! I was there for the '82 show. I used to have an excellent tape from that show I took all the way to Panama in the mid 80's . I remember "Women" from several shows. Thank you for the memories!

[@davidr1676]

I used to often be unsure if it was this song or Aiko-Aiko , atleast until the singing, but I didn't care as long as there was some "jamming" between every few lines.

[@jasonhorne4533]

Truckin up to Buffalo at Orchard Pk. was truly an amazing show

The Fat Man was so proud of his protegee. Brent was ascending into such a large role and would have surely carried this band through and beyond. He could steal the show and did. Orchard Park was one of my favorite places to see the Boys for sheer volume of people alone. God I miss it so much. Peace & Love to all those heartsick like myself.

[@sakka9432]

A myth behind the story, - Lucy Ricardo from I love Lucy used to hear her husband Ricky Ricardo sing this song to her prior to the first interracial couple being publicized on national TV! And I recently wrote a new song called family tree where Adam says to Eve, eat that Apple baby if you please! So the women have been smarter than us man for a long time according to a reworking of an old story. Thanks Bobby and Dead for that insight, one of my favorite unrecorded on an album Grateful Dead songs! Thanks Sir David and Dead Family!

1981 you say. In 1976, a man by the name of Robert Palmer recorded this same song and had a hit with it. A few musicians from a band named Little Feat provided the musical accompaniment for the song. Yet another job they didn't get credit for. Don't Bogart that Joint was another.
