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.

^^Agreed. Extra energy on this one. Jerry approched his solo with verasity and Phil was really driving this one along.

If you are an 11 aficionado and you don't put this one in your top 5, then you are clearly not high enough!

May of 1977 Jerry and his T.B became one. This solo is a prime example of that.
