China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1987
MSG

Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.

In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Donna’s harmonies seem to me to be just about right. Kind of a unique Dupree! Great show!!!

Out of a gonzo Franklin’s….. Jerry shreds like mad in the frenetic coda!! BTW…. that Franklins (which crawls out of a very long drumz….) is a beautiful mess….another night where they become the world’s greatest garage band!!! And that’s a great thing!

Eyes Of The World
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Yep! Definitely deserves to be top 25 and….. wait a second!!! It ain’t even close to top 60?!? I guess it goes to show, these guys are pretty good, and there a lot of tremendously powerful Eyes out there…. Still….. this has wonderful interplay between Jerry and the gang, Bobby really awesome, Rhythm Devils right on, Phil and Keith doing their amazing thing as we roll from an excellent Estimated through a vibrant Eyes into one of the first ever official Drums/Space and….. !! A bit like some of the more fiery Eyes from the autumn of 77……
