Bouncy and upbeat. Keith is on, and the lyrics are sung convincingly by Garcia.

Friend of the Devil

Broome County Arena

Do they nail the vocals or what! So soulful, Jerry's voice is absolutely perfect in this. Each note has a powerful resonance, they play each break well, and there is no lagging. Excellent version.

This version is a fuckin' smoker. Definitely a highlight of a great show.

Jerry just falls into a perfect groove and keeps it going for a long time. The crowd goes nuts, and he just keeps fanning. Vocals are on point throughout, and the drummers keep up. Lesh and Weir are in stride, but Jerry keeps this up at a full sprint. Showering a beautiful array of licks, and solos. One of the best ever.
