Fall '76 is a great buildup period for this song before they take it through the stratosphere in '77

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

Embryonic and sprightly with an unfettered jam, it joins for the 1st time with a (frantic) NFA
Sugaree

Giants Stadium

Sunshine on a rainy day... where strangers become eternal friends
Terrapin Station
July 18, 1990
Deer Creek Music Theater

June 8, 1992
Richfield Coliseum

Yes, yes – Bobby tosses in that repetitive phrase with that clangy ’92 sound, upon which Jerry ignites the jam – short, but they’re feeling it in the first song, setting the stage for a strong outing.
