Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Can't believe I forgot to vote for this! Great playing, and one of my favorite Jerry licks in the post-"Headlight" verse. This whole show never disappoints.If you have 4 hours to drop into something top to bottom, give this a listen.

There's a matrix of this that I really enjoyed.

Whoa, surprised this is so low! Clearly a peak of this incredible sequence.
