Hard to Handle
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

The Miller mix is so much better than the “Ladies and Gents…” release, which is sadly sterile. Good one, though pretty chill vis-a-vis the rest of the HTH library.
Hard to Handle

Hollywood Palladium

The jam is all-time + the peak is legend, no doubt. They are firing, but it does take some time to get there, and Pig ain’t exactly *on*. Complicated stuff. Epic jam, but the hike to the peak is slippery. Best HTH jam, not the best if taken as a whole…
Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

‘78 is, by far, the peak of the band, but this S>F has never hit for me. Perplexed. 4/24 + 1/31 are where. It’s. At.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

It’s an impossible task with this, the greatest song + combo ever written, in my incredibly Neolithic estimation. 4/23/77 + 5/13/77 + 4/20/84 are tremendous. I was recently reviewing Dick’s favs, and it’s remarkable how much we disagree, but that’s the beauty, ain’t it…?

Louisiana State U

Jerr is just mischievously on fire this show. One of the all-time fun shows!
