The Bear tape is a bit over-saturated, but the band is just killing it from all corners. Don't pass this one up out of aud-o-phobia.

Look for the Bear recording, which is the proper speed: You'll find a killer version with an explosive transition than just soars.

Jerry's diamond hard-edged tone slices and slashes achingly, hauntingly, and clear desperado mode.

Just Jerry, Phil, and Bobby are audible in this weird tape - but what a study of their communication. Worth a listen for that alone.

Channels missing in the SBD (no keys, quite vocals), but if you want to study just Jerry's solo, (and it's a killer one), then give this a spin.

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Playin' in 2nd half of '71 shows the seeds of evolution toward the epic it would become in the next year. This one is tight and cool. Good version.
Hard to Handle

Hollywood Palladium

When Pig Dead hits your mind give this one the time. No brakes, no hesitation, no regrets. Oh - and one of Jerry's all time best blues solos too.

As epic as they come.
Alligator
