U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Winterland Arena

An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

China Doll
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Others have pointed out what a stellar show this is and how the D.S>Eyes>China Doll is 45 minutes of sheer Dead heaven. However, I'd just like to say that as a stand alone, this is one of my top 5 China Dolls. Great singing from Jerry and all round playing by all the band
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Dane County Coliseum

U.S Blues wasn't played on 2/15/73?Which night did you mean?
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 23, 1972
Academy of Music

Some years seem to be the best for some songs and China>Riders from 1972 are it for me.

Winterland Arena

Hope we all have a hippie New Year. Have fun boys and girls. I'm running up to this New Years eve by playing N.Y.E shows. Plus, can I plug the January 2nd 1972 show(again!)? You won't regret it. Love and Metta CB
