This is when I thought the show locked in.

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Nice version and like cgarces said, helps the set grow wonderfully.

I love me a good "Jed." This is the good stuff.

Nice version!

St. Louis Arena

Hell yes! There are some first-time jitters, but they connect to and from this seamlessly. Nice show all around.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Amazed to see such a wide variety of opinions on the archive about this version! That in and of itself makes this worth checking out.
