Heavy Metal meets Psychedelia - love these early China Cats!

Not a lot of love for this DP 26. This show and the next night are classic 69 shows. BTW...this CC cooks.

First time China Cat Sunflower. Actually a 4:49 Dark Star>China Cat >The Eleven (1st time also) . Very experimental and rocking version.

simply the best

I usually prefer the China>Rider combo but this is a must hear version; Jerry really pours on the HEAT between the verses!!

Short but smokin'

These early China Cat's just rip and then transition into 11 perfctly.

Jerry's early tone is sweetly acerbic, and pleases like the burn from a swig of crisp Coke on a hot day. Seamless transition into 'The Eleven'.

Dark Star > China Cat > Eleven pretty cool early experimental version. From the excellent "so many roads" box set

Raw '68 psychedelia with a burning hot Arabic vibe
4
Full of energy, very psychedelic

Nice early stand alone with a long intro. You can hear the transition from the old intro to the more familiar pickings of later versions.
4
Pure psychedelic pop bubbles up over the top and into Sittin on Top.

Killer power bridging Dark Star into an atomic The Eleven. Not kidding, but all the early ones belong up here to spread more heads into '68 Dead.
