Sunday, March 14, 1971

No one wanted to go with me that Sunday night. Do you believe it? Having spent the entire summer of "70 listening to their albums, I skipped studying for the chemistry exam I had the next morning. What a venue. Nothing fancy. There had to be just a few hundred in attendance. Up on my feet most of the time, but when I wanted to close my eyes (you know what I mean) there was room to lie down on the gymnasium floor about 30 feet from the short platform they were playing on -- all of them playing.

Though the song probably peaked in April, this Good Lovin is an absolute monster performance; insane energy with Jerry and Phil carrying the jam to some mesmerizing heights. Killer version of Hard to Handle, especially the second half of the jam (after the tape cut) which really takes off, Jerry and Phil again going at it hard. Great stuff, and a seemingly overlooked show compared to some of the surrounding concerts.
