High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

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.
