Friend of the Devil

Capitol Theater

1st ever, slightly different lyrics, but an incredible delivery and freshness. Tricksters intro the country sound for NY heads expecting Alligator.

Inside this not great show is a beautiful short acoustic set, including this perfect beauty. Totally overlooked.

Sweet acoustic version. Bobby is spot on.

Absolutely pristine version with clear harmonies and beautiful emotive singing. Not a beloved show, but give this one a chance.

A blazing supernova of psychedelic force. Packs quite a wallop for only six and half short minutes.

Peak Bobby+Donna era. This one bubbles on smoothly, slowly kicking up the intensity until it boils over in a triumph of sweet harmony.

Sweet one, if not a little bit scrambled to start.

Catches onto a powerful pulse around 7:30 in as they head to the outro. Seems like they sped up a bit from the beginning to the end, but that might just be me.

Closes out a perfect first set. The drummers are a psychic octopus of tight grooveness, Donna sounds as good as she ever did, and Jerry floats idea after idea and kisses everyone right smack on the third eye. Just brilliant monster mash from Keith too. What fun.

Phil swoops, Donna and Keith soar, the drummers are in perfect mindmeld and Jerry does what Jerry does. This is as fun as it gets with the great Scarlet solo pieces before she met her FTM life partner.
