To Lay Me Down

The Omni
Keith and Phil flutter around Jer's vocal and then he steams in with his lead. Soft harmonies, sweet sounds...

Someone who loves this combo is more qualified to comment on this - but seems pretty good.

Jer bites down like a great white on an electric cable - this one burns. Check Sir Mick.

I hear you both! Haha and you’re right Jerry shreds so fucking hard it’s like “wahh?” then wakes up and goes further HAM. Don’t overlook Phil doing his God of Thunder bit either he rattles some skulls here. Not the greatest sources on the board but check the Miller - he’s always tasteful.

Grendel, I saw you originally posted that 10/22Syracuse Straw - check this one out - they take a similarly huge bite out of this version and spit it out. Trust me it does not disappoint! PS. I was in HS and went to that Syracuse show drove up from PA - what a freakin' trip we had.

Whatever they were trying to work out in the CC>IKYR comes together in spades right here for me.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall
This is the weirdest version of both tunes I have heard to date. Usually a fan of different arrangements however temporary they might last. I find a thread of strong discordance throughout the CC that resolves finally at the Feelin Groovy break. I love Feelin Groovy breaks and this one is welcome after hearing the gang sound as though they are playing different songs and so when they land on a melody. It's cool to hear Jerry literally all over the place with ideas but to me Bob and Keith in particular fail to give his solos a platform to build from. Phil is nonexistent to my ears until Jerry's headlight verse and the fuzzbomb drop at the end of the Rider. The Rider is bizarre and sounds like they are playing from across a huge field removed from everything and everyone... voices are clear yet instruments fade in and out the fog. Interesting, different and unique but not my particular bag. While I do appreciate others take on how this gets them going shown by all the comments above - I'm just from a different planet on this one. .
