Hot and sweaty sounding mix with a bit of a slow burn from Jerry - not crazy with the macho but cool.

Pig clear in the mix with JG delivering the funky blues chops you wanna hear.

Pig on the scene.

"How was this not here" is a thing I read a lot on here. The saying is def true with this HOT 6+ min version. Pig is S C R E A M I N G ! ! !

Macho and Jammy right here.

Unique flavor to this one, with Steve Winwood poaching Pig's organ.

Pigpen struggles with his timing and vocals in general.

Hate to be that guy... But can't believe this one isn't here, best of 1970? It's on youtube. Type in 'Grateful Dead Hard to Handle 1970'

Date overshadowed by the next night and ambiguous provenance - but don't skip it. Bobby's high in the mix with rare balance and a great jam.

I love the hard chargers, but this one is different: Almost mellow with a slow simmering groove. Cool, not hot. Check it out.

A fantastic version from a fantastic show!

Another great 1969 Version with Pigpen leading the band in its blues psychedelia period.
