This really nice early Candy Man. This one is after Truckin. The first two are sound checks, I think.

This is one of the better acoustic versions of this song. The sound quality isn't the best but the performance is spot on.

This is a tragically overlooked version. Bobby's guitar is loud and proud. Jerry's Strat playing was as clean and twangy as it got on this song.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

The forth live performance of these 2 songs put together. It starts out a little rough, then it evolves into a well paced and played China Rider.

Watch the video of this perfomance, taken by an audience member. The lighting makes Jerry look ghost like. It's beutiful, though.

This was the last song that Hunter and Garcia colaborated on. It is also one of their masterpieces. This is my favorite version. As memorium to Robert Hunter, I will only submit signifigant versions of the best Robert Hunter collaborations untill I have run through all of them. That's gonna take a while.

^^^^ Agreed, I listend to it. It was difficult to take it in, but beutiful. They are both gone now. We can only commemorate the wonderful songs that they created the best way that we can, by listening and sharing. I'm glad we have each other for support during this difficult time.

One of the best. Words and music by the great Robert Hunter R.I.P.

This, lost, Loser is for anyone who truly appreciates this song, and for 1971 aficionados, DS67 and E5, for example. This one stands up to any other version, in my opinion, including Barton Hall and Albany -1990. Jerry took a "less is more" approach on his Strat solo, simple but perfect for this song. Bobby's rhythm is strong and audible. Keith is adding some tasty honkytonk piano, and he's mixed low enough to not cover up Bobby's guitar playing. This song, and the entire show, should be listened to, or revisited!
