You need the Sir Mick source on IA as some of the shows seem to be the night before. Muddy sound but a good version of the few times this song was pla

Another perfect psychedelic performance from February 1969- a month of my personal favourites.

Thanks to Psychranger. Take half an hour out of your day and go listen (and dance around) to this masterpiece. It'll fire you up for the rest of the day and have you smiling. SBD VERSION!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaXHlHkeSsg
Hurts Me Too
March 27, 1972
Academy of Music

Coming in between the superb 22/3 and 28/3 versions, this slow blues seems to have been overlooked. Precise slide from Jerry, slow heart aching blues from Pigpen and the boys convey that sense of head down , trudging through the rain with the Blues! Excellent.
Stella Blue
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

This night and the following evenings Stella Blues are beautifully paced and Jerry's singing as as good as he gets. Love his voice in this period.
Drums

Texas Christian University

Most times I skip Drums, but this one is worth the listening.
