Friend of the Devil

West Virginia University Coliseum

A Garcia solo worth savoring. Very special.

Let It Grow
May 13, 1983
Greek Theater

Ferocious but not reckless. Tremendous feeling and poise. The show as a whole seems woefully underrated.

Bird Song

Greek Theater

Jerry soars from the first note while Brent's compI ng subtly shades darker. A mesmerizing gyre. Check out the fine Keshavan/Miller AUD.

Estimated Prophet

Hampton Coliseum

Roller coaster outro rises, drops, and swerves again and again, led by Jerry at lightning speed.

I love the way Brent contributes to this delicate but sprightly Ship. Magical.

Cumberland Blues
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Sounds like Jerry quotes some recognizable (famous) bluegrass licks in this one. Sorry, can't ID the song.
Me and My Uncle
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Folks... this is quite a Me & My Uncle.
Caution
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Holy fuck! This is nuts! Absolutely raging '68 firestorm of a Caution.
Turn On Your Love Light
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Not better than the best of '69-'71, but this one sure shreds in places.
Turn On Your Love Light
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Vastly more interesting than the majority of latter-day Lovelights.
