Perfect full band gelling in a dramatic end jam portion, leading effortlessly into China > Rider

Greatest Story Ever Told

Giants Stadium

Why the dead chose to neuter the peak jam inherent in early incarnations of this song is one of the most perplexing mysteries ever. This is crisp tho

This hit me perfectly. Well paced, lyrically nailed the poignancy, peak was driven. Nice late-era Peter

I was surprised to look back and see how relatively short this version was, because it had wonderful pace and the punch was ferocious.

Giants Stadium

I have a huge heart for 89/90 era Knockin's, most especially for Jerry's perfect, blissful ambient tone. This one slays exactly as it should

Some minorly marbled lyrics, but this jam slays. Very energetic
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Spokane Coliseum

Rock clinic. Full band screaming the vocals by the end
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 27, 1982
Red Rocks Ampitheatre

Super clean, precise C>R. Jam out of China is nimble and melodic.

June 14, 1980
Spokane Coliseum

Played at 5x the speed of lightening, this one still has legs and melody for a 12 min version. Nimble throughout, though almost dizzyingly rapid and immediate.
Feel Like A Stranger

Long Beach Arena

Gross. I'm sweaty and all I did was listen. Funk disco dead kills
