St. Stephen

Betty Nelson's Organic Raspberry Farm

Furious, speedy version that goes into an even furious Eleven...There are some mix issues, but that's not really the band's fault, is it ?

One More Saturday Night
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

played in what looks like complete darkness to a lucky audience that still yells "WE WANT THE DEAD !" after witnessing one of the greatest rock concerts of all time.
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

The easiest winner and top spot of all the damn songs (Lord knows how many...) in this wonderful site. 101th voter :)
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

No offense but why is this snoozefest taking the top spot from Veneta's version ? Is all of 73' played like this ? I'll take 72' and 71' versions every day of the week and twice on Sundays !
St. Stephen

Yasgur's Farm

Just how, HOW and WHY on God's Green Earth is this not here ?! I mean forget about subjective factors like the performance and forget about the drugs and the weather for a second...this is HISTORY. What we have here is the most historically and culturally significant gig (by far) the band ever played ! Thank you Jerry, Pigpen and the boys for writing history and entertaining the Woodstock generation on such hazardous and dangerous conditions...Your legacy will live forever.
