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.

Hard to Handle
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

I can't see why this version is so far behind 08/06/71 in votes. All of the April, 71 - Fillmore versions should be right up there.

This one is just bursting with energy. The best of the April 71 Fillmore shows and at least as good as the 08/06/71 version, in my opinion. This one of Bobby's better solos on this song. And Jerrys tearing this one up!

Hollywood Palladium

until about 4.30 into this one, this version is really good but not any better then the 4-71 Fillmore versions. But when Jerry takes his outstanding solo, the energy of the whole band kicks in and this becomes a barn burner. Overall, though, I think the 4/27/71 version is every bit as good as this one.

This show isn't on the archive. Crow or DS67 any info on this one?

The Ned part of that is referring to Ned Lagin, who was an experimental electronic key board player who sat in with the Dead, occasionally, in the early to mid 70s. He and Phil where good friends and would occasionally perform some very avant-garde material; also known as weard shit!
