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.

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Sept. 16, 1966
Avalon Ballroom

This is about as good as this song got, in my opinion. This is some of Pig's best harp playing and Jerry is at his 1966 best, for sure.
The Eleven

Student Union Ballroom, U. Utah

Jerry's fingers where flying across that red SG. Classic stuff!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 31, 1970
School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

Agreed, but it is unique because of the addition of the New Riders. To bad it cuts off abruptly.
Cream Puff War
Dec. 4, 1966
The Matrix Club

No wonder it sounds as good as 12-01, because it is 12-01. Good ear Dark Star 67. I think a lot of the 66 recordings might be mislabeled. 12-01-66 is Rolling Stone pick for best concert of that year. All of late 66 sounds pretty good.
Brokedown Palace
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Pig pen is playing organ along with Keith's piano, on this one. This was kind of a rarity by this point in their musical evolution. This is a very nice version from a very good 72 Europe show.
