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!

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

The Other One
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

There's so many great O1s from this era. This one is a stand out, mostly because of the inventiveness of Jerry's playing. There was something about that SG in 69 that brought out Jerry's psychedelic magic. Everyone else is feeling Jerrys every move on this one. Then the transition to Cryptical then Death is mind blowing. Prepare your head space, Listen then vote!

Capitol Theater

^Yes, this is the closest to the Marty Robbins version that I've heard. I usually don't dig their take on this song, but this one really works, my favorite for sure.
The Eleven
April 23, 1969
The Ark

this is a very unusual and interesting 11! It's a long musical meandering that includes a lot of different movements and song quotes. Right before they work into an excerpt of Mountain Jam they play around with & We Bid you Goodnight, Which they play a little later; weird in a good way!
Viola Lee Blues
Feb. 2, 1968
Crystal Ballroom

Agreed^ High Energy, no brainer!
The Eleven
March 2, 1969
Fillmore West

Tight and adventurous! 11 heads, this will get your attention!
