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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

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!

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.

Work-in-progress rarity. Hard to imagine such standards at one point needed to be worked out and developed. Compare this to the studio outtake listed as February 1st in an unknown location for a sweet peak into their creative process.

Even if it does sound like someone is playing a tattoo gun into the microphone at times. Who cares? Anything acoustic from 1970 is of such great musical/historical importance, I'd listen to it from the bottom of a swimming pool if that was the only way....

One of those moments of pure equilibrium and e.s.p. between musicians that feels like infinity. Seems like they could accomplish anything: walk through walls, tear the sky apart, appear in a thousand places. "Wings a mile long just carried the bird away" indeed. Kesey said somewhere that we heads will listen to a 1000 hours just to reach moments like this one. This is certainly one.

Coming back to this feels like that first sip of water after a day in the desert, everything just perfectly right on.

Yo, the Sleuth: listen to everything he recommends. He's no bullshit at all.
