China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Ok. All Dead is subjective to a point..... but this is CLEARLY a top 5, if not top 3, version. Why so few votes? I can only assume people aren't listening. This is the highlight of the 1st set IMO. Great pick china rider !

People always talk about the HCSS from this show, but this PITB is first tier.

This version is far superior to many on this list. The Ally Pally shows seem to get no love but there are some incredible moments from these shows. This is one of those moments.
