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.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 27, 1969
Labor Temple

I don't claim to be the Heady Version Police, but this is way, way, to low on votes, and that's just plane wrong! Yes, Pig's doing more singing then talking. But this is an energetc instermental bomb, cyclone. Just listen!
Dark Star

Labor Temple

Jerry's guitar phrasing on this version is as good as it got for this song; inventive and inspired. This is just one of the reasons this may be my favorite Dark Star, and that's saying something. If you have'nt listened to this version, or the whole show for that matter, do so now! The transition into the eleven is seemless then mind blowing! It's on Dicks Picks 26, maybe there are other options.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 23, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

The Miller source was the way to go, thanks DS67. This show went from unlistenable to prestene! This China Rider was a Phil showcase for sure, as was the whole show. This one deserves more attention. I've been listening to this whole show, it's a real gem!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Fillmore East

Clean and crip version with single kit precision. Good find, DS67!
Morning Dew

Strand Lyceum

Pig on Organ, Jerry deliverng the most emotive lyric and everyone else doing exactly what they needed to do, makes this, arguably, the greatest version of this song.
