Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Came back around to this one. They're rock and roll wizards.

Hell yes! Smoking great jam (a la 12/12/69 or 4/15/70) that dissolves into a nice space.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Nice little version that ends with a High Times tease.

There's a great Jerry/Bobby space > a long duet leading into Iko. Absolutely worth a listen to hear this interplay.
