Like May ‘77, you could throw a dart and guarantee you hit a stellar show. - KyloRensPecs, r/gratefuldead, Reddit .... April/May '78 has a lot of the same qualities of Spring '77 but with some extra edge and a much bigger sound from the Rhythm Devils. A really special era that often gets neglected. - viewtiful_alan, r/gratefuldead, Reddit Sportatorium - April 7, 1978 when drums started I thought, oh s*#!, i hate drum solos and Billy and Mickey stopped me in my tracks. Wow, these guys are really good. Little did I know the pervasive influence this phenomena would have on my life. - pearlybakerbest, Dead.net Huntington Civic Centre, West Virginia – 16 April 1978 This is another must-hear concert by The Grateful Dead. The sound and mix are almost ‘absolutely perfect'... It’s difficult to pick out highlights because everything is played so well; the band are tight, Donna is great and the set list is strong. - Grateful Ted, gratefulted.co.uk 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. Individually numbered to 10,000 copies and exclusive to Dead.net, FRIEND OF THE DEVILS: APRIL 1978 has been mastered by Audio Engineer Jeffrey Norman using Plangent Processes tape restoration and speed correction. Steve Vance designed the collection’s custom box, which features a removable wave drum. (We invite you to unleash your inner Rhythm Devil.) Acclaimed artist Matthew Brannon created the set’s original artwork. The collection also includes a 48-page book with original liner notes by author Steve Silberman and photos by James Anderson, Bob Minkin, and more.

"When the Grateful Dead arrived at Cameron Indoor Stadium for the sixth stop of the first leg of the Spring Tour of 1978, they were a well-oiled machine. The expectation was there amongst concert goers that the Dead would deliver an exceptional show; the consistency of excellence was in full force on this tour. And as great as the previous five shows had been, no one could have known that the X-factor would appear in such force at Duke on April 12, 1978. Opening with a pair of classics, “Jack Straw” and “Dire Wolf,” it was clear from the first 10 minutes of the show that something special was happening. But what was to come couldn't have been predicted; no one could have seen what the next three hours would hold. As the Dead barreled through their first set with "Beat It On Down The Line," and "Peggy-O,"" there was something magical happening on the campus in Durham, NC that night. The Dead, as everyone in the building that night could hear, were determined to play one of their best shows ever at Duke. Ending their first set with exemplary versions of "Loser," "Lazy Lightning > Supplication," the second set began without missing a beat, rocking hard with "Bertha > Good Lovin'." As perfectly executed as ever played "Estimated Prophet>Eyes Of The World" led into one of the Dead's longest, most intense, and most exciting "Rhythm Devils" drum interludes, clocking in at more than 20 minutes. And the only way to beat that? One of the most powerful live versions of "Truckin'" the Grateful Dead ever played, unlike any other rendition of their "big hit." A spectacularly beautiful, perfectly executed "Wharf Rat" leads into more rock 'n' roll, "Around and Around," to end one of the most satisfying shows the Dead had played in the last several years. As an encore, the Dead put the cherry on the cake with a "U.S. Blues" that has Jerry joyously screaming the chorus. The Dead left it all on the stage on April 12, 1978. Thankfully they had the next night off. " - David Lemieux
