Friend of the Devil

Winterland Arena
Better Jerry solo than the other '77s, but same aesthetic otherwise.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University
Not too speedy, well jammed and ends with a one of kind improv between Bobby, Brent and the drummers.

The solos in Lady with a Fan are fucking beautiful.

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre
Delicate, sweet playing in the midsection and a good outro. The linked source is not great, but there is a SBD.

Music Hall
Thunderous climax. The last two minutes of the song are tight.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena
All I’m looking for with this pair is Garcia’s guitar work on supplication. This is top 5 in that respect for me.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Grugahalle
I don’t usually care for this song, but I do after I saw the video of this one. I don’t actually know that many of these but I do know that what Jerry did with this one was good.
Deal
March 28, 1981
Grugahalle
5 years later, I revisited this one today. I’m glad to see that it’s picked up some steam. It’s not quite the equal of 5/1/81, but it is of 11/30/80 and it can hang with anything from 89-93, GD or JGB.
Crazy Fingers
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre
The beginning to this version is stellar. The whole version is good, but this one and 6/17/75 have great openings.
Pretty Peggy O
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium
This one is a standard April 1978 vintage, so it actually stacks up well against any version of PeggyO from any era. Way better than 3 votes, especially given that 4/16 is only 3 days prior.
