Toe-tappin' and up-tempo with great vocals - Phil sounds amazing on the out chorus. Fun stuff!

The last 35 min of this show are just beautiful. From NFA till the end it's just smooth sailing goddamned good times Grateful Dead. Enjoy.

No Pig rap or sonic dose of the clap like others from the era, a a glorious slow-boiling jam over 18 minutes well worth the listen.

Friend of the Devil
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Love it when the dead play fast over slow tempos. This song slowed down in the 80s so far that it became a big buzz kill (for me: subjective opinion only). This one's different. The drummers keep it "in front of the beat" and the result is a nice mid-point between the shitkickers of the early 70s and the nodding off, one foot in the gravers towards the end.

Unlike any other version ever. Just a rootin' tootin' horseback gambol.

the solos are bursting at the seams of the slower tempo, making for interesting musical tension. Nice version.

First live performance, and they catch every mysterious and beautiful element in this song. Check out 28 Feb 1975 rehearsal jams at Bob's studio for an earlier, primordial Crazy Fingers.
