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.

This one is a cornucopia of song quotes. The drummers are especially good ion this version.

Yes Phil was in the "Phil zone" for this one. This version is a prime example of the 68 Dead. Pure psychedelic energy and precision. You can't discount Pigs B3 playing, more aggressive and energetic then TC, who would join the band 2 months later. Good call on the Mike Lai source DS67. It's to bad that all of the vocals are on the left channel.

Just 3 days after Mickey left the band. Single kit crispness here.

^^Yes, they really deliver the goods on this one. There are so many good O1s but this one really stands out. There was something about the Fillmore East that really energized the boys!
