Hard to Handle
Feb. 12, 1970
Ungano's Night Club

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.

Beat it on Down The Line

Ungano's Night Club

Has that blistering surf punk energy that the best early BIODTLs have. Whole show rocks, even if it may not have ever existed.

Fillmore East

Less known than the immortal Feb. 13 show, but every bit as good. They are so dailed in, just exactly perfect.

Exuberent and crisp with pumped up energy... Hmmmm?

Pig was responsible for a whole lotta new babies after this one. Turns it over and gives the ladies some instruction to go out and get it. Nice.

This is why I listen to the Dead.

Check out the C.Miller mix for great rocking balls-out Winter '73 Dead. Perfect mix with every instrument clear and balanced.
They Love Each Other

Stealth show with pristine versions throughout a perfect 1st set - and then the 2nd set just takes off.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 30, 1973
Boston Music Hall

Listening to this one a lot this week, and I agree with ferretstew. The band is just so tight and together. The energy builds and builds, and this version stands out for its coherence and the arc of its composition. I also love 02 Dec., which gets much weirder, but this one shows off their virtuosity.
To Lay Me Down

Never have I dug this song so much as this version. Sweet but strong.
