After a punishing TOO this CE reprise screams echoes from some ancient ruins.

Dark and assaultive in a great way - matrix.

Everyone collectively jams their balls off - flying in all directions - Brent/Jer heavy.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

Noodle city CCat with lots of extra Jerry flourishes packed in. Jerry fades on his Rider verse’s vocal but he roars back with some energetic action - worth the check out. +1. One of my faves for ‘80’s is 4/19/84 which I think burns hot, hot, hot.

Carousel Ballroom

Clean with Pig in fine vox and Jerry bending blues riffs while the band keeps it chugging. No hurry quality loose play here. Pyschedlic beef jerky blues.

Haha had already voted for this waybsck whenever but did not comment. Jerry whips out his drill bit for some auditory dental work on the audience. Yeah.

Jerry wails hard on his tuning fork on the intro of this early take w/orig lyrics.
