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.

Sugaree
Sept. 6, 1980
State Fairgrounds

It's a cliche to say it... but I'm astonished this one isn't ranked higher. This is an explosive Sugaree.
They Love Each Other
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Maybe the best damn version I've ever heard.
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1982
Manor Downs

Love the atonal Brent-led jam out of this Eyes into Drums.
The Eleven
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

The E minor jam at the end is perhaps the most ferocious of such jams that I've heard.
Playin' In The Band
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Oh wow. One of the very best jams I've heard from summer '73. Covers a lot of ground — hard to believe it's only 18 minutes.
