Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

From an all acoustic set. Tight harmonies on this one.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This is how Cina Cat should have been done. I think Jerry had Alligator for this one, and he was just tearing it up. Even with the Beach Boys looming off stage, they where at the top of their game here.

Phil's up in the mix, and really driving this one along. I agree with Crow, Bobby's solo is kind limp: mostly rhythm. Jerry however, tears this one up. He's playing Alligator on this one, I believe. I love the fender tone he's getting here. 71 seemed to be the year for some outstanding HtH's

It's hard to pick a favorite version of this song from the 4/71 Fillmore east run. This is right up there, even though I prefer the night after. Bobby lays down a good solo on this one then Jerry picks it up and does some nice, thoughtful, guitar work on Eagle, or some other Alembic model.
