Hurts Me Too

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Pig comes alive during this song as well as this entire show, and Jerry respond's to his energy level, as does the whole band. I love this show!

It's nearing the end of 71, Keith is on on board now; their tight and energetic, 72 here they come!

Pigs vocals and harmonica are at a high and energetic level on this version. Jerry's guitar playing is a must listen, really!

This is a high energy and very well played version of this song. Bobby is in very good form here.

This one starts out a little rough - Phil noodling - then it quickly turns into a well played and heart felt dew.

Crisp and bouncy version. Smooth and tasty Strat work by Jerry. Pig delivers the vocal as well as he ever did on this version. I don't know how this one went without any votes for so long, considering this was such a strong and popular show!

Good recommendation, Cliff Hanger! Jerry's guitar playing is particularly good on this one.

^ That's quite a commitment to get on this just to vote for just one song, I hope you'll vote for others. You're right though, this is an omg version of this song, for several reasons: Jerry's enthusiasm and vocal excellence and guitar playing, the vocal harmonies by Bobby and Brent, the energy level by the entire band, and fially the exuberant outro. This is on you tube. which you would think would help to garner more votes.
Turn On Your Love Light
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Rough start, then it comes out of the gate full blast. Phil and Billy are locked in driving this along. Jerry's strat plating is epic, as is Bobby's call and response work. I don't mind Pigs over-rapping, those guys knew how to make that work. This one is a cooker!
