You can see a video of this show including the Jerry interview, Hard To Handle and Rider (in color), Morning Dew, Sing Me Back Home in black and white and much french TV commentating at http://gratefulvideo.com/. Hard To Handle smokes, Pig and Jerry are great but the real star is Bill K. What a drummer! BTW that is Pig playing the electric piano as no organ was present, dunno why. But his contributions, especially on TOO, are really interesting because he's on e-piano and playing things differently than what he normally did on organ. BTW the Other One is fantastic, ditto Wharf Rat. Garcia's voice on that one is just spot on.This source transfered by Charlie Miller is superior to the other available as the whole show is here and the sound is excellent being intimate, clear and at the same time raw. It's a solid 1971 show four months before Keith Godchaux joined the band. And one played outdoors to a small but very enthusiastic audience in the backyard of a chateau. In other words it's one hell of a house party. The Other One and Wharf Rat are as good as it gets in 1971.BTW, update, the show is up on YouTube now and considering that you can see the bands breath and they are playing on grass, which was probably cold and damp, the boys play pretty damn well!
