Friend of the Devil

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Also a big fan of the slowed-down versions. I agree...what a first set! Wow!

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Jerry really slows it down on this one...and it's sublime. Love what everyone is doing behind him too. Very beautfiul, underrated version coming out of The Other One and into Playin' reprise.
Scarlet Begonias

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Love this version. Especially Keith, switching over to what sounds like a Fender Rhodes. These '74-'76 pre-Fire Scarlets are really doing it for me.
Let The Good Times Roll

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

how can you not get in the groove after this one?
So Many Roads
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

You can hear every one of those roads in the passionate and moving way Jerry belts out those vocals. Perfect song for this stage in his life/career. Just beautiful.
