Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

Hard to Handle

Fillmore East

Hot shit (and that "Okie" is too funny, given the context). It's been on my list, but I haven't heard anything from this run before. Can't wait to tuck in after hearing this!

San Diego International Sports Arena

Hot and light at the same time. Some deadly thumps from Phil too!

Some nice playing! Have yet to hear a '73 "HCS" that's not worth a listen.

Totally agree, and there's some beautiful music during the transition. Grendel, you heard this yet?

Hell yeah! It's a thick version with everyone going off on it at once. And listen to Bob go!
