Man does this version have a good bounce to it. I would put this version up against any version from the 80's.

This version doesn't quit. Jerry's solo is relentless

Great swing to this version. Excellent Brent and Jerry solos. A gem of a show from an odd tour.

Slower tempo, big thick bass sound. Feels like your trudging through the snow with the band.

World Music Theatre
This version is just ok. It feels sloppy and to me sounds like Jerry is struggling to find the right notes to play. Does not have that nice free flow feeling that the top rated versions have.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Awesome! A unique case where the Rider for certain out does the China Cat.

It's really not till the last 5 minutes of the song that you get anything that resembles "crashy noise". This is one that needs full attention though as there is so much going on here. It is certainly not a version you can play in the background during a party. I really do love this version though.

This version is fantastic! It really deserves more love. It's up there with all the other wonderful and highly regarded renditions from '74.
