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
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

Wow. This might be the gig that turns me onto AUD's for good. The sound is just so freaking good on this tape, somehow. I don't understand how this can happen from microphones alone, without access to the core source audio. But i'm not complaining. Anyway, Jerry's got some baggage to unload on this steep, heady slow Friend.

Fun clip and fist-pumpingly explosive jer on this, a face-melter
