Hard to Handle
Dec. 26, 1969
McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

Pigpen is pretty sloppy here, but man that band sounds great. Tom is pretty high in the mix here, interestingly enough, and he's sounding good. Jerry's also doin' great during the break. Instrumentally, they're ripping it up!
Turn On Your Love Light
March 20, 1970
Capitol Theater

Pigpen's vocal vamping on this one is some of his best - he's in great form here. Very playful with the audience - don't interrupt me, please!
Silver Threads and Golden Needles
June 4, 1970
Fillmore West

A very subtle version of this one - always a treat during these '70 acoustic sets.
The Eleven
Jan. 26, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

It's easy to see how the gang thought this was the best Eleven they played during that run of shows - the momentum on this one is fantastic.
Mountains of the Moon
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

A fittingly mysterious and beautiful version of this cut. Everything comes together very nicely on this version, and of course what follows next is nothing short of brilliant.
