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!

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

Good St. Stephen, sanwiched between D.S and The Eleven. Classic Pyhicedelia in the heart of Utah!

This is another good late 1969 D.S. T.C was adding some nice touches on the organ. This isn't an extraordinary version but it's worth a listen.

Coming out of a very energetic Dark Star, this version may be a little raggedy, but it delivers the groove. I think this should be up on the list.

This is the drummers show case. Billy and Micky go to town on this one. Lots of energy by all. Jerry is playing with clarity and vigor throughout the song. This one should be higher on the list, for sure.

Yes, this is a good one. Jerry was playing with authority and with a great tone. Every one locked in on this one,

I could tell by the first few notes that Jerry played that there would be some outstanding guitar work to come, and there was. His tone and use of feed back was especially good on this one. T.C complements Jerry very well on this version. It's a good one!
