China Cat Sunflower
Jan. 2, 1972
Winterland Arena

A curious Cat peekin' through some Good Lovin'. Not an epic CCS per se, but the transitions in 'n out are as smooth as a Michael Jordan layup. Unique.

York Farm

We can only wonder...

Doin' That Rag
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West

Not too much Tiny Tim and Jerry's solo blooms nicely.

Black Peter
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

A slightly brisk and jaunty version that is smack-dab in the middle of a TOO. More bluesy rock than ponderous and Faulknerian (?).

China Cat Sunflower
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Jerry's early tone is sweetly acerbic, and pleases like the burn from a swig of crisp Coke on a hot day. Seamless transition into 'The Eleven'.

Morning Dew
May 29, 1969
Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

While it seems that the boys did indeed play a few numbers on this date, it appears that the performance was truncated. And it also appears that out of perhaps simple mislabeling 5/11/69 was circulated under this date.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

Spectacular version. More needs to be said about this one but first more need to listen to it.
Eyes Of The World
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

Found this one on account of a nice heads up from somebody on the archive.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Big (U.S.) bluesy jam out of this one and into 'Promised Land'. Unique.
Weather Report Suite
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

A picture-perfect version smack dab in the middle of an epic sequence.
