Wedged in a energetic psychdelic explosion,this Merle Haggard classic provides a contrast in mood and direction. Jerry's twanging it up!

Mystery Dew! I don't think this was played during this show. Listen on the Glassberg/Miller on the archive.

If you like this song. even a little bit, you have to listen to this version! For my money this is as good as this song gets!

A crisp, cooking Allligator that was somehow missed. It transitions into Drums, then a t 11, tease, jam then the 11.

Capitol Theater

This song is from what seems to be kind of an over looked show. The sound quality isn't the best, but the playing and singing is.
Friend of the Devil

Capitol Theater

Robert Hunter said this song is as close to being a classic as any song that he and Jerry wrote. I think it made it, as did quite a few others. This is an underappreciated acoustic version from the fantastic Capitol theater.

^^ I just re-listened to this one. I don't know what I was talking about. Jerry takes an inventive solo on this version. I guess you have to listen with fresh ears sometimes. Some votes for this song are wasted because a faulty submission problem on this site. It should be voted up, for sure!
