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.

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.

Dancin' in the Streets

Rises and rises into new shapes during the last minutes, but there's an unfortunate cut....
Cocaine Habit Blues

Almost makes cocaine seem olde-timey and innocent.
Bird Song

Capitol Theater

Just exactly perfect. Sweet vocals, beautiful harmonies, nice mix - thank's tapers! Jerry's solo about 3 minutes in is quite different from others, exploring block chord voicings and an angular twanging clanging thang that sounds almost... Bobbyish(?!?), but it's Jer, and it fits perfectly.

Jer's guitar tone is sublime. He's burnin' down the world here.
Black Throated Wind

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Good catch. Jerry's fills around Bobby's lyrical phrasing and the exquisite tone he was getting out of his axe make this one really special. The two are totally synched up and this one could be way higher on the list. The way they build up towards the climax is brilliant.
