Keith stands out on this crystalline version. A stunning performance as the band is completely in synch with each other. Watch out for that solo too.

They Love Each Other

Lovely version with a really great Keith solo, Jerry’s solo right after is equally as moving. Don’t miss this one.

Played with a real sense of urgency. Bobby growls away as Jerry explores a new approach to his soloing. This is a scorcher.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Jerry plays away his sorrows on top of the rhythm devil’s swinging beats. Sweet as can be with some real magical energy here.

First ever in a China>Rider pairing. Makes for some wonderful music to start off this stellar show.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Such a great, great version. Starts off as curious as a China Cat can get, and openly explores these incredibly serene pockets of melodic themes that transcend even the most casual of listeners. The Feelin’ Groovy jam is one of the most organic I’ve heard in a China>Rider and before Jerry’s solo, Keith completely controls the jam the band being the hive mind and Keith at the center of this. Tender and sweet. A stunner.

I am in awe. This is beautiful, the pure definition of heaven.

Fillmore West

The word psychedelic typical gets thrown around here a lot. A lot of the times it can be used too sparingly, yet this version somehow mangers to be the absolute pinnacle of pure psychedelic music. I can hear the intense trip these guys are having and the magic that ensues is captivating and enchanting. Intense energy.

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

This, 9/10/74, and 1/2/70 are my all time favorite versions of this tune. The most emotive I’ve heard.

Sublime and beautifully played. Jammed out to sheer perfection. Do not overlook 60s Dead.
