Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

hot, hot, hot. Pig kills it vocally and on the harmonica, and Jerry doing his thing per usual. So many great songs like this that they played allll tour long! For a brief second, this one has a small New Speedway Boogie-ish jam towards the end that makes it real neat
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 29, 1972
Musikhalle

Really cool China Cat here and a much slower-than-usually played Rider. And I like it!
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

The Palladium

Hot as hell, this Scarlet>GDTRFB is killer. And what an awesome surprise this must've been instead of FOTM! No comparison between the two, but I think a little change up hits the spot with this performance

Yeeesh. This outro is the bomb-diggity
