Dark Star < St. Stephen < The eleven. A ridiculously good seamlessly flowing jam segment. The Stephen is fast paced and ferocious.

This is a powerful, great version. Fire find here, should've been posted long ago.
Hard to Handle
March 24, 1971
Winterland Arena

Ah shit man! This is sick, right up there with "The Phil Zone" version of 8/6. Nearly just as powerful. Jerry's solo is mind-bendingly good, and Phil perfectly climbs the fretboard raising the climax of the solo. Fucking nuts version.

Winterland Arena

They went all out during this version, off the friggin' hook. Great find, also to add this whole show is absolutely smoking, and overlooked. With the gold mine that is 1971 it is understandable that a gem like this could be passed over.

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Sweet version, some slow and thoughtful solos by Jerry, does not drag, although played slowly, a very good version.
