Hurts Me Too

Legion Stadium
Pig's vox never sounded better. Pure, fine Blue Ron soul and a rippin' set of solos, but sadly cuts out.

All about the jam. One of the mello raps of the era, and they go off in that way that says "let's do this forever". Why not here?

Sweetness in form and execution. Even the feedback from the monitors harmonises nicely. A gentle, delicate version.

Deep blues, two brilliant harp solos, great Jerry work (duh), and a Charlie Miller cleanup. Listen up!

Starts a little funny, but has that rare electric funk quality. On the recent C. Miller cleanup, so thank you sir.

Hardly recognisable for anyone familiar with the acoustic versions, but an absolute pleasure.

Inventive, energetic and fun. A beaut from one of the great months.

"Burn down the Fillmore gas the Avalon". Did I hear Bobby right around 2:35??? To answer my own question, it appears that Bobby started this as a dig at other venues when they were co-running the Carousel. These lines don't appear on Anthem.

Pure, clean high-flying jam. Mind-blowing how well they played in 11/4 without spontaneously combusting. Pig's organ never sounded so much like the organ on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". More early traces of the Bard's influence on the boys?
Eyes Of The World

Nassau Coliseum
Great 2nd set, yes, but this Eyes takes it well furthur... It's got everything - blazing, soaring and blisteringly fast. Really tops.
