Blissful, otherworldly, mellow (but intense) transition...why wasn't this on the Dick's Picks?!?!

constantly shifting gears from firey to spacy, hardly lets up for full 23 mins. A surprising gem from Euro '74!

A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.

Oh yes!!! The BEST from '72 no doubt, won't argue with it being the definitive one either.

Possibly the most "rockin" China Cat ever!

Underrated version from summer '74! A euphoric peak into the Feelin' Groovy jam
