Friend of the Devil
Oct. 17, 1983
Olympic Center

Not usually a fan of slow FOTDs but this one is excellent. Reminiscent of a nice May ‘77 version but much more Myland!
China Doll

Madison Square Garden

Lovely, meandering outtro jam that slowly unwinds into drums, perfect mid-‘80s vibes.
China Doll

Civic Center

10/11/83 has the cool lead-in jam and the audience tape is excellent, but it’s a little fast for my taste. The 10/15/83 China Doll had a better guitar solo and Jerry’s voice isn’t quite as rough. Tough call, and ultimately a matter of taste, but I prefer this one by a hair.
Keep Your Day Job

I don’t love this song but if there was ever a version worth hearing, it’s this one!
Let It Grow

Civic Center

Torrential jamming with tight, well-coordinated movements. October ’83 was a real peak for the band and this Let It Grow is no exception.
