Hard to Handle

I 've tried to listen to this one a few times, especially on the new Dave's Picks. I don't know, I don't think it's as good as others. To me it doesn't get to that level. I'm just spoiled by 8/6/71 I guess. I also tend to pull towards that 12/28/69 version. Usually not into the sound of those '69 ones but that one is raw and rocking.

Yes! The vocals are inspired this night from Garcia for sure, more so than other versions from '71!! Great early version...Love how he sings "Just one thing I ask of you, Just one thing for me" in one of the verses.He belts it out.......

Yeah SUPER short. Also if you listen to Garcia's lead that he cuts too soon, THIS to me, represents his sound from 1970 in a nutshell. The tone, the blistering lead the Gibson SG....All packed into a quick minute or less.

Too bad there isn't a SBD of this one. At least the Audience version sounds good. The Dancin' follow is a smoker too!!
