Solid grooving version. Jerry's final solo builds up nicely.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

China Cat is a slow, bumpy, and chaotic mess, quickly ended. Follows a beautiful Feeling Groovy and long Rider. Good to see the boys quick recovery!

Very sweet and sorrowful. A beautiful version.

Tighter and a wee bit faster than the previous night's debut, played with more confidence and just exactly perfect.

Sweet version, very tight and mellow groove: Love the 70's outlaw buddy-pic vibe.

Brilliant soloing. Great version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This is one of the finest China-Riders I've ever heard with a smooth transition aided by fact that they stream as one song. Utica March '73 does seem a bit underappreciated and 22 March has fast precise and exploratory playing all over its great setlist.
They Love Each Other

Short and sweet.

Great version. Throw-away or not, when the boys are as tight and energetic as this, it bodes well for the rest of the show. El Paso falls in the same category, and it too is just on blazingly good during this set.
Dark Star

Agreed - the show is underrated, maybe because so many of the jams are of an understated, cool-mellow vibe instead of being hot and fast.... Not this one, though. The meltdown in this Star is a blisteringly weird one.
