Completely torn to shreds. Brutal jamming, and a massive crescendo.

Top shelf version, one of the best.

Not a note missed, and not a second wasted. A superbly polished Stephen, and i'm surprised it isn't here already. Sick version from a Dope show

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.

Smokin' version. Check out the disco beat they put on this Explosive Mexcali > M&MU

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.
