Black Muddy River
April 11, 1987
UIC Pavilion

Glowing, warm encore with sweet Brent vocals/keys and solid Phil touches.

Let It Grow
Sept. 21, 1973
The Spectrum

Horn Section of Fierro and Ellis with nice touches on this. Might be an acquired taste but if you like it check out the Legion of Mary stuff.

Still believe this is one of the best unheralded versions of this tune...worthy of listens and votes.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
Dec. 4, 1973
Cincinnati Gardens

While of course it’s best to listen to one of the finest ChinaRiders of’73 all the way through - if not - just pickup this Feelin Groovy at 5:00 and wait for the delicious drop in at 6:15...Mmmmmm mmmm delicate and so very very kind. I swear once you hear this you will go back and repeat it.
Deal
April 1, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

Full aerial assault - everything you want in this jet fueled delivery. No jivin’
New Minglewood Blues
April 1, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

Later’ish version with Jerry and the gang going bananas - listen to Phil go full tilt while Jerry goes off. He tosses in a Beck Goin’ Down riff in there too just for shits....
