Hard to Handle

Hot soloing and '71 levels of intensity. Listenable in spite of some tape wobble and distortion. Fun to watch H2H expanding during this era.

Headphones only very rough AUD, but one of the rare electric funky Deep Elems. Historical rarity.

Pity about the C- sound quality, because a new tape of this would show us a real corker.

Final jam in an enormous show. Just killer. Follows the one NRPS set you need to hear. Whatta world.

Through the AUD fuzz and chatter comes a beautifully rendered vocal performance. Enjoy this hidden treasure.

Thanks, brother. That makes good sense to me.

Where does this circulate? Not on DP 26 with the rest of the show and I'd love to hear it. There's a beautiful but short version of Hunter singing it live on YouTube as gentle minuet. Apparently it started as a real song and got outer-spheres weird in the studio. This the only known live version (or tape over live feedback) of it and remains my grail point for hardcore psychedelic Dead. Any leads out there?

Note for note perfect Dead. This show is unbelievably full of outrageously beautiful playing, it blows me away how under-the-radar this is. I know it's a cliché but this one is really a "forgotten gem".

Played just two times ever, right before Pigpen went into hospital. Wonder if they would have kept it in rotation otherwise? It's a pretty hard-rocking low and dirty blues, and a rare gem indeed. Nice mix on the C. Miller cleanup.

This one could go much higher on the list. Brilliant jam, great transition. Pretty much perfect.
