The Other One
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Just ferocious by the end of Rider, but there’s lots to enjoy all the way through this combo.

Ramble On Rose
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre
Much like the Philly version a week earlier, this one really shines.

Uncle John's Band
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
What a mood this second set finds itself in. The UJB jam melting into that solo Garcia meditation is the purest distillation.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
I’m with cgarces: This is probably the third best of the month behind Cornell and maaaaybe Tuscaloosa — and No. 3 is a tremendous honor for May 1977. What an impossibly smooth, sweet, and dreamy second set.
The Other One
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
If you know how to listen to the noisy stuff, this Other One’s for you.
El Paso
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
Serious heat. A *Wild* West El Paso from the best era for the cowboy tunes.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
The other commenters are spot-on. The arrival of Feelin’ Groovy sounds totally natural, unforced, and the overall shape, pulse, dynamics, execution … wow. The transition jams would get feistier and knottier in the fall, but this is about as perfect a mellow China Cat > Rider as you could ask for.
