  • "One of the few Grateful Dead songs that underwent a dramatic restructuring, with this new arrangement becoming the song's structure from 1976 onward. From its country/bluegrass roots on American Beauty, this Closing Of Winterland masterpiece highlights how good it could be as a ballad, hitting a few major peaks before it's beautiful ending." -David Lemieux

    1978 = Highschool+Weed+Dead. Great version of song and video on so many levels. Simply beautiful.

    This version of friend- blew my mind open in high school. My friends and I called this song ‘slow friend’ and would play it at the peaks of our lsd trips.
    Every note of Keith’s piano solo is burned into my brain like splashing rainbow colored water.

    My first Dead show was at The Uptown Theatre in Chicago. I was a senior in high school 78-79.
    When the band started into FOTD I didn't recognize it and my friend turned to me and shouted, "This is Friend of the Devil!" I couldn't believe it and I was floored by the ballad. It was a great moment.

    Oh yeah listening to this song brings back so many good memories and times! I love Jerry Garcia's soft sweet voice! Listening to this song, "I get those great sensations of chill's running up and down my spine!" Cancer ain't going to kill me! " I'm fighting every day for life and I pray that those who know, know what I'm saying! Peace to everyone and yes you have to believe in Karma! LATER equals Love And Trust Equals Respect!

      Your word's of encouragement are my energy. As a , "Music Lover and Lover of Life." I thrive on learning something new everyday. Sitting by my Black Pure Bread Labrador Retriever. Puppy. It was George Harrison of the Beatles. That told John Bonham that Led Zeppelin didn't do enough Ballad's. Once Page heard this from John. He said I'll show him, by saying George doesn't listen much Zeppelin. Jimmy Page wrote, "The Rain Song." on House's Of The Holly! To me that Song Takes Me Places. That I dream of going, places I've been, places I'll never go! MUSIC HAS PLAYED BIG HUGE ROLE IN MY LIFE! THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT TO ME! YOU MADE MY DAY! TMY MONTH! I USEE TO GO TO EVERY CONCERTE I COULD GG TO. LATER, JOHN 👏 🙏❤️☯️

      To my personal liking this version is the best among all possible, the one which I heard the first time. It is from "pure Jerry" series. It sounds amazing, almost studio-like.

    Tell me again how much sleep I'm getting tonight. But yes its a family trait on both sides of my family to be insomniacs apparently. My dad was always lurking when I went to use the only toilet in the house, in his chair next to the TV, half asleep- then my Mom has also taken it up too in her old age. So they gave me and my brother a double dose of alcoholism as wells as insomnia. Great.

  • @gregdahlen4375

    when Jerry had hair
    I lit out from Reno
    I was trailed by twenty hounds
    Didn't get to sleep that night
    Till the morning came around
    Set out runnin' but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I just might get some sleep tonight
    Ran into the Devil, babe
    He loaned me twenty bills
    I spent the night in Utah
    In a cave up in the hills
    Set out runnin' but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I just might get some sleep tonight
    I ran down to the levee
    But the Devil caught me there
    He took my twenty dollar bill
    And he vanished in the air
    Set out runnin' but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I just might get some sleep tonight
    Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
    The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight
    The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
    And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail
    Got a wife in Chino, babe
    And one in Cherokee
    First one says she's got my child
    But it don't look like me
    Set out runnin' but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I just might get some sleep tonight
    Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
    The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight
    The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
    And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail
    Got a wife in Chino, babe
    And one in Cherokee
    First one says she's got my child
    But it don't look like me
    I set out runnin' but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I just might get some sleep tonight

    Jerry taking things too far, regardless of how slow his heartbeat was. This a straight up Country tune, better suited for PIGPEN than he. This is what turned people off from "The Dead" THE SLO SHIT
