Jerry is a sugary sweet beverage on a hot day in this one. Super, super smooth

Great fills from Keith in this one. Jerry tackles the descending final guitar notes beautifully as well

Jerry and Keith trade some slinky solos in this gem

Perfect amount of grit on the Jerry solo.
Friend of the Devil

Radio City Music Hall

Brent on fire with a delicate, chunky solo, passes to Bobby for a subtle, confident drive, then Jerry blasts the song into the stratosphere with a spine tingling run up the neck.

I'm with Grendel on this one. I've tried this many times over the years - even bought the record store day release. There are indeed 2 solid portions over this marathon, both towards the back end where Keith steps in and provides some direction. But overall, it is pretty aimless and lacks the cohesion of all members unified together that make for a great jam. This seems more a novelty for its length. Some great parts, but unfortunately they don't overshadow the individualistic wandering that it takes to get there. I'll keep trying this one though...

Usually a filler tune to me, but this one has frantic energy. Tune sounds like its shot out of a cannon.

My god, Jerry's leads... So clean, deep blues approach - sounds like he's channeling prime era Clapton. This deserves more dap
