Hot and sweaty sounding mix with a bit of a slow burn from Jerry - not crazy with the macho but cool.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Ack! this is tight not quite as crazoid as my favorite 4/19/84.. but very similar. Same year so makes sense.
The Other One
Oct. 20, 1989
The Spectrum

The CA Earthquake is just massive and only played twice I think - would nominate it in a heartbeat. Closed the 1st set and then they come out to party with a Hey Pocky. Watch Jerry tell a little story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkbm0uEU2w
Cryptical Envelopment
May 29, 1969
Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

The beat down starts at 3:10 and does not let up until the band pounds the audience into dust.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 29, 1980
The Spectrum

RD's are locked down tight, Phil is strapped and Jerry's got an extra clip - they crush this one and then throw in a sweet AWBYGN cherry.. yes please. While not 71-72 this is premo for 80's.
She Belongs To Me
Nov. 8, 1985
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Jerry singing Dylan - ain't nothin better...'cept maybe the Indy 500.
