Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Metropolitan Sports Center

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!

Some minorly marbled lyrics, but this jam slays. Very energetic

Rock clinic. Full band screaming the vocals by the end
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

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

Long Beach Arena

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