China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

The common source for this show is strong on the Bobby channel, but this China->Rider really showcases his masterful contributions. And the patience exercised in the drifty transition sends the music on a sweet boomerang journey.
Throwing Stones
Sept. 21, 1982
Madison Square Garden
