China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 17, 1970
Cleveland Music Hall

Multigen sound quality, but unmistakenly tight jam with a sweet transition.

Doin' That Rag
Jan. 24, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Song was brand new and they're searching for the sound, almost goes into a Violaesque jam. Transitional, hot stuff.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium

Deep and mournful, with great organ fills and group soloing. Very solid.

St. Stephen
June 7, 1969
Fillmore West

Massively crunching Stephen with Jer's tone like a machinegunbuzzsaw. Out of a killer DS too. Why no love yet?

Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 17, 1970
Fillmore East

Something happened to the song between August and September, and this is the "first" Sugar Mag that resembles the song we know, now it's tight.

Badassed snarler.

Jeez guys, how did five people vote for a song that wasn't even performed at this show?
El Paso

Public Hall

Not everybody's favorite song, but not the filler it's often dismissed as either. The band plays it hot and fast, and Jerry lovingly dances over it with a thousand-and-one ideas streaming of his guitar with flourish and virtuosity.

Thanks for the tip Grendel. Mr. Charlie earns yet another star for fixing one of the biggest buzzkills of '73. Enough has been said about this show, but daaaaaaaaaaamn if it didn't just get better.
