Hurts Me Too

Swamp blooze. Pigpen was well on this night.

Starts a bit rough, but the final solo and out chorus builds and builds into a blazing triumph.

Sawmill

Fillmore West

Enter the pedal steel. Goddamned sweet sounds here. It's unfortunately cut off, but worth every precious second.

Turn On Your Love Light

Pure '70 Dead. Like the HH before, this one grows steadily up to the full berserk, rather than exploding from go. Pig/Bobby outro is immortal.

Gorgeous harmonising and soulful singing. A clean, strong version that never drags.

Rockin' Pneumonia
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

A boogie-woogie unrehearsed mess of a rarity, and I love it.
Jack Straw
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

A damn fine Jack Straw in an excellent show from a peak era. What more could y'all be looking for?
The Other One
May 29, 1969
Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

No joking matter: This is Danger Dead. Bad PA or not, when you want a punch in the brain, here's your monster.
Cold Rain and Snow
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Between the August Berkeley run, Veneta and this knock-out, I'd say this was a peak run for Cold Rains.
The Other One
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

From its silky smooth flow out of He's Gone with its steam-whistle feedback on arrival, this one seeps down from on high, then runs through your bloodstream like a good strong double dose of The Strange. It's long and weird, even though the meltdown sections never go completely bonkers. The re-entry is a musical wonder considering just how far out they were in the moment, and it must have left more than a few jaws dropped to the floor.
