Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Friend of the Devil
July 4, 1984
Five Seasons Center

review at source provided illustrates a hippie couple fucking for all to see during this slamming brent slow friend. Bracingly intimate but life affirming image, some sort of desperado vagabond thing matches the Dead's outlaw ethos. Also the fireworks fight on lot and RIP rainbow paul. Deep resonant and wacky version.

unique and out of control, very jammed out!!! Cannonball for newer , more heroic horizons. Vibe bullet train. The dead loves the midwest and always drops gems

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa_CBybgHEI Great pick, clarion... Reminds me of 5/14/78, 6/18/74 and 6/27/84 in terms of energy times scope over an austere plane. Cranial plink and midi horn, arena prog vision over ambient method. wes montgomery mariachi buffet. The result is something at once inwardly hermetic and globetrottingly daring in a kerouac way. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g0L2Xxbzwxc/Xg5O9rDu_vI/AAAAAAACZxY/3UFZIyHkdscBJfxk_mWlzf8KALyXfNT2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Rutland_Daily_Herald_Thu__Jul_14__1994_.jpg Jerry gives them what they want.
