China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

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....

Dark Star
Nov. 2, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway

If this was voted greatest Dark Star ever I’d be pretty okay with that.…. Especially since “greatest ever” just leads to great debates. And granted, I can say “greatest ever” about a lot of these. But…. This should have A LOT MORE VOTES!!! Ridiculous!!!!!!

They should’ve played this so much more!! Bruce’s piano jam bridge from Let it Grow into this is spectacular!
