We're hitting the bullseye with the eight previously unreleased stellar shows that make up Friend Of The Devils: April 1978. Filled to the brim with peak performances from the Grateful Dead's post-hiatus period, this collection captures the historic tour where "Drums" begat "Space," morphed into "Drums">"Space" and cemented the Rhythm Devils' second-set power move from the music business to the "transportation business."
Spring 1978 finds the Dead consistently weaving spontaneous magic, showing signs of great promise and potential - from the no-nonsense rock'n'roll in Tampa, where scholars cite the first "Drumz" leading into "Space," to the lengthy communal get down in Pembroke Pines to Jacksonville where the twain emerge fully formed, offering the primordial opportunity for "soul retrieval." It's evident in the dynamic range delivered on back-to-back nights at the intimate Fox Theatre and through the laid-back unity of the band's performance in Durham at Duke, a comfort that carries over to Virginia and West Virginia where the playing is unbridled, bursting with momentum, threatening to carry itself away. And nowhere can you hear that more clearly than through Betty Cantor-Jackson's original recordings, reliably crisp, bright, and vivid.
Drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart were frequently joined during this time by members of the band’s crew for their extended rhythmic explorations, originally dubbed “Rhythm Devils” by Hart, including Steve Parish, who played cowbell on 4/12/78 at Duke University‘s Cameron Indoor Stadium. Jerry Garcia even joined the Rhythm Devils that night, swapping his trusty guitar for a set of steel pans.
"These eight shows tell the story of a band that was engaged, inspired, and focused on bringing their A-game every single night, If there was ever a tour on which the Dead deliver every single moment, it’s this one." - David Lemieux
"The music in this collection, chronicling eight shows from April of 1978, captures the band in an intense period of accelerated evolution. While often overlooked in favor of earlier (Englishtown!) or later (Red Rocks!) shows at larger venues, the Dead’s month-long excursion through intimate concert halls in the South proved to be nothing less than a laboratory of the band’s future. Among the innovations introduced on this tour was the template for “Drums” and “Space” - the intervals of free playing in the second set that became so central to the Dead experience that it’s hard to remember shows unfolding any other way." - Steve Silberman
