  • "From the penultimate show of the Dylan & The Dead tour on 7/24/87 in Oakland, the Grateful Dead perform an upbeat, perfectly and smoothly executed Friend Of The Devil in the show's first of three sets. This slower-tempo Friend Of The Devil, as compared to the upbeat rendition from American Beauty, was introduced in 1976, and was how the Dead played the song until 1995." - David Lemieux

    Jerry was such an amazing guitarist, what a force of nature. Those tasty rhythms and fills he played with that fingerpicking style are sooooo good. I miss seeing him and watching the magic as it happened; it was a great ride for me from 74 to 95 but it somehow doesn't seem long enough! RIP JJG ❤

    One of the few songs he did regularly with both The Grateful Dead and JGB (the others being Sugaree, Deal, and They Love Each Other). IMO, the slow version beats the fast version Hearing the slower arrangement [as performed by Kenny Loggins (Betty Cantor-Jackson was recording Loggins & Messina, and Loggins would open their shows with a few songs on his own, including-at least on the occasion of her recording them, a recording Jerry likely heard-a slow Friend Of The Devil)] caused Jerry to adopt this slower arrangement and start performing the song again.

    why doesn't anyone write about the fact that his lyrics are dangerous? in Poland a young girl died because of his music, this band is dangerous
