This one is stretched out. Solid Jerry shredding throughout.

Love the way this version crashes into drums. Nice way to end a 6 song pre-drums sequence.

Jerry mumbles threw the lyrics but the jam is hot!

Cold Rain and Snow

Capitol Theater

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

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.

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.
