Grateful Dead Releasing Unreleased Concert Series "Friend of the Devils" in September

The Grateful Dead is releasing a new box set, "Friend of the Devils: April 1978", on September 20. This 19-disc set includes eight complete previously unreleased concerts from the post-hiatus era, when "Drums" and "Space" were becoming established as second-set traditions.

The Birth of a New Era

The Grateful Dead had released "Terrapin Station" the previous summer, and would soon return to the studio to begin work on "Shakedown Street", which followed in November 1978. Despite the releases not being huge hits, the band remained focused and energized on their tour, as noted by Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux: "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."

The Concerts

The month-long tour featured a range of songs, from early favorites like "Dupree’s Diamond Blues" and "New Minglewood Blues" to more recent songs like "Jack Straw" and "Eyes of the World". The set also includes deep cuts like "It Must Have Been the Roses" and traditional songs like "Iko Iko". The shows also featured newer material, including "Estimated Prophet" and "Dancing in the Street" from "Terrapin Station", and "Fire on the Mountain" from the upcoming "Shakedown Street".

"Friendly of the Devils: April 1978" will be available exclusively from www.dead.net and is limited to 10,000 individually numbered copies. Pre-ordering is already underway. The set can be pre-ordered here: https://gd.lnk.to/FOTD478
