China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

China Cat shines bright with strong transition jam - Jer belts out the headlight line in the Rider and Phil barrel rolls all through the pocket.

Jer bites down hard all over this and Phil is a monster - solid

Touch of Grey
April 10, 1983
West Virginia University Coliseum

Hey Greenie - shaggy is right - but endearing too. Check 4/14/84 it's spikey instead of shaggy and almost goes off the rails but doesn't - I love it.
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 17, 1970
The Matrix

Correction on the date of a previous post (s) - 12/17 vs 12/23 - after a very unscientific study I swapped'em over to the 17th date. Highly urge anyone with a taste for '70 to check out this stellar short set of a crystal recording. I love this crunchy year.

If this were only heard - it would surely shoot up to top 10 status - outstanding with Jerry vocal reverb bonus.
Alligator

Shrine Auditorium

Ridiculousness - Hear Jer finagle the Mtn jam in here - f'n unreal.
Dancin' in the Streets
Sept. 3, 1967
Dance Hall

Must be heard - totally Dark Star-esque per the above comment without the speed of other versions but totally sweet bends and phrasing. A real treat.
