China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 19, 1973
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

Dicks Picks 19- this China Cat has some extra fine bonus material that you will enjoy and is a rare find in the same version. The middle section from 3:40 to 7:24 has a wild assortment of nice alternating counter licks by Jerry which really stand out. The guitar really sounds special. What a treat. But wait, the song then proceeds into a “feeling groovy jam” ending. So much fun!

Jerry is having so much fun - this whole song rings with melodies that most guitarists cannot begin reach ...check out the sequence beginning at 4:25. So good.

A great DS and rightfully a TOP version but the lessor known version the next night on 2-28 Friday deserves its own special place, not as long but beautiful and melodic.

just a treat for those who were not there to hear this magical version. Almost flawless

Whoever said the Dead couldn’t play in bad weather? A really great version.
