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!

Stanley Theatre

Yes, this is a Jazzy, up tempo version. Phil and Billy where really driving this along, then transitioned into Cumberland, smoothly. Very nice.

This one is slow and meandering. It never seems to establish a solid motif or a groove. Billy is doing some interesting Jazz style drumming and Keith's electric piano adds a nice touch. This being their, supposed, last show, I would think it would have been more energized. Overall it's just not my favorite.

Avalon Ballroom

This is a good 68 version for sure. I don't think it has the fire that the DS from the previous night had.

Fillmore West

They where really starting to play with DS at this show. Phil is really driving this thing, and everyone is hanging on. Jerry is in especially good form One of the best of 68, for sure..

Civic Auditorium

Their first Dark Star of 69, crisp and confident. Bobby was doing some nice interplay with Jerry toward the end. One of the drummers bass drum was out of tune. other then that, it was a good version.
