High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Hard to Handle

Hot and greasy, like the best of them. I love how Phil just floors it around minute six. But this one doesn't quite shoot me over the falls in a barrel the way some do: Bobby's solo is a bit limp by comparison to others from this era and the crescendo before the final verse drops out before Pigpen comes back in. There are so many great ones to choose from in '71. Check out the April Fillmore East shows, ouch!

Heartbreaking waltz tempo: Last dance in Texas; farewell desperado. Sweet and lovely. Thanks for the links DarkStar67!

Bobby's got a snarl that just exudes violence. I love this version and the surf-punk cowboy sound that was still part of the Danger Dead sound.

Hot Goddamn, that just rips. A crescendo of energy and power, it builds up to a beautiful peak.
