Relaxed and joyous space-age electric guitar semi-ballad.

Capitol Theater

Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Taft Auditorium

Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

U.C.

A giggly, slangy Garcia masterpiece (in sweet show sauce). Goes down EZ.

The Other One

Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium

I want to thank 007 for saying all probably that needs to be said in describing this scorcher. I also want to thank DarkStar67 for his or her enterprising use of the semi-colon. Talk about bad-ass.

Look at you, you sprawling gem: hiding in plain sight on Dave's Picks. They go into so many strange rooms in the funhouse and dart back out again into a hallway of social responsibility. Optimum Grade.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

China Cat retains some of its whimsical charms of yore, but worry not: guitars buzz right thru on amps. Update: Jeez-O-Frempkin! Ferocious. Everyone works through his lunch break. That's all I'm saying.

Boston Garden

The level of consistency of Tennessee Jeds in May 77 is uncanny. Not able to be canned. This is another slice of heaven from a sweeeeeet show. All cylinders.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 10, 1972
Concertgebouw

Such a juicy period for China > Rider - this one has its own jaunt. I super dig it, especially the China Cat (which is groovy).
