Hurts Me Too

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.

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Good recording. You can hear everybody. Stellar, emotive playing by Jerry. Fourth on the Heady list is about right for this version.

^^ Great version from a great show. TC sounds particularly good on this one. Jerry's singing and playing are aptly emotional for this song. According to Heady voters, this is about the 10th best version of this song, that's about right I would say.

Fillmore Auditorium

^^Agreed. The volume of Jerry's guitar could be higher and his vocal lower. Yes, at the time of this show the song was evolving from a fast paced psychedelic romp into a meaningful balad.

This is a really good 68 version.The boys aproched this song like their other psychedelic gems of the time, before the anthemic jam vehicle that it would become.

Gulfstream Park Race Track

Absolutely furious. This was the Miami pop Festival; the east coast version of Monterey Pop. This was an early outing of the SG for Jerry. I see why he played only that guitar for another year.
