That outro solo is brilliantly written (the first one too). Perfect overall structure with so many beautiful little phrases. I aspire to be able to write something like that.
I lit up from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds Didn't get to sleep that night Till the morning came around Set out running but I'll 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 into the Devil, babe He loaned me twenty bills I spent that night in Utah In a cave up in the hills I set out running 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 I set out running 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 heart's delight Second one is prison, baby 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 running 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 heart's delight Second one is prison, baby 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 The one in Cherokee The first one says she's got my child But it don't look like me I set out running but I took 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

This is 99% "Roll It On Home" haha I dig it
right dude
Where do you think he got it from? Lol
@@colinnolan2212 well, it's a different groove from the Dead.
Reeditorate that statement…roll it on home is 99% friend of the devil
Sounds Very 2013-2014ish era of John Mayer tour and the studies he learned from dead and company is added on this cover
This was recorded before Dead and Company
In a interview on the Greatful Dead Sirius channel John had stated he recorded this in 2014 and finished it up in 2016 ....
One of my favorite Jerry songs! Love this version!
Why have I not heard this before!?!?

Old Dead song! They had some great ones!
Damn it so late to this absolute gem. 🤌🏼
This is a gem
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
Greatest Story Ever Told
I lit up from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
Till the morning came around
Set out running but I'll 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 into the Devil, babe
He loaned me twenty bills
I spent that night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
I set out running 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
I set out running 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 heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby
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 running 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 heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby
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
The one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child
But it don't look like me
I set out running but I took 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
“Greatest story ever told”
thank you so much for recording this,
Woh man good find here, wish dead and company put out an entire album like this
This is way great! If he had played this on the 1991 DEDICATED album....
Howd you come across this?
John played it when he most recently went on the Sirius XM show "Tales From The Golden Road".
Found this on a IG TV on a JM fanpage
Hearing JJ Cale, Jerry and John.
I didn’t know that the studio version exist, is it possible to add this one on itunes! I love mayer’s version on this one
did John make a deal with the devil at the Crossroad ?
Jesus is the Son of God guys. Believe in his death and resurrection and repent from sin by the way. Love you♥️🙏
