Hurts Me Too
Dec. 27, 1970
Legion Stadium

Pig's vox never sounded better. Pure, fine Blue Ron soul and a rippin' set of solos, but sadly cuts out.

Good Lovin'

All about the jam. One of the mello raps of the era, and they go off in that way that says "let's do this forever". Why not here?

Sweetness in form and execution. Even the feedback from the monitors harmonises nicely. A gentle, delicate version.

Winterland Arena

Deep blues, two brilliant harp solos, great Jerry work (duh), and a Charlie Miller cleanup. Listen up!

Deep Elem Blues

Starts a little funny, but has that rare electric funk quality. On the recent C. Miller cleanup, so thank you sir.

To Lay Me Down
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

2nd one ever, and it's a bit slower than the pace they'd settle on later. Still, this is a beautiful version from one of the warmest and most intimate acoustic sets of 1970. It's like drifting in and out of a lucid dream to the sound of a familiar and sweet lullaby.

May be the best version out there.

The Matrix

As gorgeous as they come. Problems in the mix throughout the source (saturated by high bass levels) don't detract from this glory.
Turn On Your Love Light
July 16, 1970
Euphoria Ballroom

Janis Joplin guests and it's amazing. From the first note to the last, you can tell just how well she fit with Pigpen. They're cracking each other up, and can't wait to take their clothes off and fuck. Listen to it, then tell me you disagree. She even sez, "You gotta work for it... I'm tired of these hippy jack-offs."

Setlists.net lists five performances, four in 1970 plus the '89 show listed below. What a simple, sweet tune. Any JG solo fans out there know if this was in rotation? Did Old and In The Way perform it?
