great show

I had a ratty copy of this show while in the Peace Corps in Niger, West Africa. I left it there in 1995 with some villagers who got into the bootlegs that I brought with me. Such a fantastic show, with Pigpen in RARE form, yelling at Mr. Electrician Man, and Jerry talking about the "spacecraft assembly building" Where can I get another copy? I need a miracle!
-John,


I got a copy of this show (most of it, anyway) from my very first tape connection. What a blast! There's a ton of stage banter, as the lights man angered the band and the crowd by keeping the lights up. Jerry and Bob alternately plead with the guy between songs to turn the lights back down, only to have them turned back up during the music. Jerry says at one point "what is this, the spacecraft assembly area?" Finally, Pigpen's had enough and we hear this:
Pig - "Hey there Mr. Electrician Man, you better turn them lights back down and leave 'em down or I'm gonna hog tie ya and throw your ass outta this place!"

(the crowd goes nuts)

Jerry - "Good ol' Pig Pen, always ready with a kind word."

Bob - "Never one to employ sublety!"

Whereupon they launch into Next Time You See Me. Perfect!
Hard To Handle is also a Pig Pen showcase, and the Good Lovin is remarkably low key, given what's passed before. The Bobby McGee is stellar, a solid China>Rider, a nice sweet Second That Emotion. And if I am thinking of the right tape, this Sugar Mag features some blistering wah-wah playing by Jerry.

Back in the cassette tape days, this was a big favorite of mine, and was great trade bait. I'd LOVE to have it on CD. Anyone?

II
Second That Emotion-4th/7th time played All in April 71, thier tightest year.

Around-Starts w/interesting rockabilly chords. Phil is quite subdued throughout a fast pace from the start. Bobby knows this is his last song of the night so he belts it until his chords break, but good regardless.

Good Lovin'-Tight playin and bassy jam by all of the boys in the middle.

I was there! We drove down from Oswego. I remember Lusk was a curved-roof field house- like Romney at Oswego. They had been aircraft assembly buildings during WWII and were moved to the State Colleges. I remember UJB as being a cappella- at least parts of it (it's been a while..)
