Expansive and spacious with brilliant flashes. Has a few bad AUD patches in need of a fix but well worth the ride.

Friend of the Devil

Winterland Arena

Short and sweet. Not lickety-split quick pickin' à la 1970-71 and certainly not a slow-as-cold-molasses 80's style either, but nice and right. A gem.

Unique version. Great vocals with Jerry singing backup. Classic '72 sound.

Back from when this wasn't just a toss-off after Drums/Space. High voltage Pig.

Not mellow. Not spaced-out sweetness, but a burning hot re-entry after a rocketship TOO.

The pace, throb, and intensity alone puts this in a special category. Add the rocking fills that Jer puts behind the driving (truck in') rhythm, the tires whapping pavement sense, and that killerdiller solo mentioned above and hell yeah, this is world class stuff. Ignore at your own peril.

Hey Okozmic! Welcome to the site, but really? '74? No Help-Slip-Frank? No Estimated Prophet? No Cassidy or The Wheel? I'm as curmudgeonly an old '70s head as they make 'em, but even I've been known to enjoy a Shakedown Street or a - gasp! - Terrapin Station now and again.... Cheers!

Wow. In addition to the subtle and heartfelt interpretation of the lyrics, which I've always felt were some of Dylan's best, Jerry rips a killer solo toward the end (07:54). Great great show.

Garage band extraordinaire. Good old rock and roll.

Listen and just try not singing along.
