Fun and thunderous, this version has some great grooves.

Clean and confident reading with lots of personality from Phil and Vince.

It's interesting to hear this one develop on stage, but this version isn't worth seeking out on its own merits.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 21, 1971
Capitol Theater

Sort of a transitional version between the 60s standalones and the jammed out Keith-era versions. Interesting guitar lines on China and lots of Phil Bombs on the main jam in Rider.

Jerry cranks up the wah and the overdrive and divebombs the main solo break like a man possessed.

Pigpen is really going for it on the organ here. He's a little off, but it adds some cool character.

It's not the best version, but it certainly is the worst.
