Who Do You Love?
Composer: Ellas McDaniel (Bo Diddley)

The Grateful Dead performed partial versions of Who Do You Love? twice during the 1972 European tour. It's possible that they also performed the song in 1966. The song was performed by Bob Weir with Nick Gravenites and others at a John Cipollina memorial concert at the Fillmore on June 26, 1989.

Originally recorded by Bo Diddley on May 24, 1956 at the Chess Studios in Chicago. Released as both a 45rpm and 78rpm single with I'm Bad on the B-side in 1956. Writing credits on records are Ellas McDaniel, real name of Bo Diddley. On some recordings the name appears incorrectly as Ellis McDaniels or some other variation.
