Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Ok, one of the two most glorified shows of all time (you can guess the other), and for good reason. Kicking China with a hot, bouncy jam, seamless IKYR transition. Powerful version - another jewel in the crown of a timeless show. Haven't spun in a while, glad i revisited

Boys came out the gate like a rabid dog. Jerry sounds like he is going to jump off the stage. Great energy

The Omni

Wow, first time hearing this. Very sick version! Great band interplay

Holy shit, was about to add this one! Not my favorite song, but they do a nice job with this. Gets my vote
