Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Thanks a lot Blob Weird. That's one of my favorite versions and I'll check it out again for the tease. I love how the Dead mix everything together - the delicate theme from WRS right in the middle of a sweaty Pig blues... and why not? Sorry about the double post. UPDATE: It's actualy in the outro of TOO after MAMU, not Hard to Handle, but it's certainly there. Cool!

WRS Prelude "tease" at 3:13 of the reprise. It's absolutely clear. Does anybody know of one earlier? Anybody? Also a very beautiful and great jam after MAMU.

Sweet and honest, this song always gives me chills. The Betty Board is oh so nice.

Starts as a whisper and takes its time, filled with silences and, well, space, not "Space". It builds then into the great musical promise that is Dark Star at its most wonderous and beautiful.
