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.

Doin' That Rag

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

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'.

Listen to the crowd go wild on the SBD after Jerry's solo.

Thanks to nickj from http://transitiveaxis.forumup.us/forum-14-transitiveaxis.html for inspiring me to go back to this show and give this TLEO a listen.

Indeed, lots of 'The Other One' teases/hints but it was not to be, as they go into 'GDTRFB', instead. Phil goes nuts towards the end of this one.

A nice, energetic version.
Eyes Of The World

Jerry's first lead is fluid and satisfying. After the second verse check out how Phil falls in, like big, shiny bubbles in water. And Phil solos right alongside Jerry here, as well. The outro material is well-played.
