Garcia & Grisman, "Friend of the Devil" on Late Show, Sept. 15, 1993 (st.)

A Grateful Dead classic from 1970 in a more leisurely interpretation by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. Previously uploaded but here in superior video and glorious stereo.
Plus bonus audio during the commercial break: The CBS Orchestra, along with solos by David, then Jerry, perform the Jagger/Richards song made popular by Marianne Faithful in 1964, "As Tears Go By."
Yes, that's Bernie Worrell in the CBS Orchestra. He joined the band when Late Show premiered in late August 1993 but left in late October.

David Grisman is a very interesting musician and mandolinist who befriended Bill Monroe (the Father of Bluegrass), played with Stéphane Grappelli (a founder of the Quintette du Hot Club de France with guitarist Django Reinhardt in 1934), as well as his long friendship with Jerry Garcia. There’s only one Dawg!

The Dawg, is a great guy, saw him live in a small venue called, Caramoor in N.Y. Great show, by a easy and interesting guy.

[@slinkygecko2757]

Plus his extensive work with Doc Watson and Tony Rice, two absolute flatpicking legends

[@silvrface]

Also loves to play with anybody, no matter who or how skilled. In the early 1980’s he’d show up out of the blue on Tuesday “jam” nights at the Banjo Cafe in Santa Monica CA. He’d wait until a break before *asking* if he could sit in (seriously!). Whether there were seasoned pros or “intermediates” on stage, he never showed off or overplayed- always keeping to the level of the players on stage. And made sure EVERYONE took a solo no matter how simple- and made a point of encouraging & complimenting less experienced players. An absolute monster player, but more importantly a gem of a guy and wonderful human being!

Probably the best live show that I have ever seen was when I got to see Jerry Garcia, n David Grisman at the Warfield back in 92 on my Birthday. I was standing right at the rope line in front of the stage a mere 7 feet from Jerry... After that amazing acoustic show I went home and put my electric guitar away for 18 years... bought every acoustic album Jerry had recorded. Got deep into bluegrass through Old and in the Way. Learned to play Mandolin and Banjo. Will love his acoustic music most till I die! 😊

[@jimsmith1277]

Went to my first Grateful Dead show with my Brother on his birthday, at Alpine Valley in 1987.Was instantly hooked on their live shows. Many times I saw them right up to and including Jerry's final Dead concert. I too loved the Acoustic shows. I perform almost all of their songs with acoustic guitar, and especially love performing for nursing home audiences and hospice patients. If you don't have it yet, I recommend that you pick up the DVD called Grateful Dawg. There are some precious Jerry / Grisman moments on that program. Have yourself a Grateful day...

Jim Smith, I missed the 87 Alpine Show. First time I even heard anything about the Grateful Dead was when JGB played at Caesar’s Casino here in my hometown of South Lake Tahoe. I didn’t get into the show, but could hear it spilling out onto the casino floor... I was having fun being a country boy people watching all of the heads in their tie-dies walk-in around. Many of them with little in winter clothing on, many of them bare foot. It was January I think. Cold as a mother too! 🤔 88 maybe? That was back when Nevada still had very strict Cannabis, and drug laws. Didn’t go over to well with law enforcement at all. 😕 I have seen Grateful Dawg quite a few times. ‘Sitting Here in Limbo’.
