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.

Billy takes charge. After the first verse he lays down a rhythm that Phil locks into, then Keith, then Jerry starts down an adventurous path leading to some sonic magic. This is a very strong version, even by 72 standards.

Jerry really delivers the lyrics of this very moving song. I wish they had added the harmonies during the bridge that Bobby and Donna added later, then perfected by Brent and Bobby. But this is still an outstanding version.
The Same Thing

Fillmore Auditorium

If you want to know why Pig Pen was so valuable to the band, listen to 66!

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium

This as good, or better then any version of this song that I've heard. Tight, energetic and you can hear everybody on this recording. Jerry tearing up that red Guild!
The Eleven
March 28, 1969
Student Center

Their on to Grad School. Contemplative, at first, then they jump into it. Jerry's giving that SG a work out. Then at about 12 minutes in, they soften it up, then go out strong.
