The vocals for Donna are low on the recording but the rest of the band are so tight this version really kicks ass!

How can you hate any version where Brent is just totally invested?

You only get about the half the song in the recording but the band is awesome sounding and the audience is going insane!

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Really heavy on Brent's synth at the beginning on the recording, which isn't a bad thing. Great vocal play with Jerry, Bob, & Brent.

Nice light and bouncy version. Jerry is spot on with his lyrics. The boys sound like they're having fun.

Corals, totally agree! I was just listening to this tonight while stuck in traffic and almost hit the car in front of me while rocking out to that last jam!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Kezar Stadium

What is the thematic jam at the end of China? Is it Mind Left Body, Feeling Groovy, or something else that I have heard referenced but can't yet identify by ear?

An absolute ass-kicker!

Jerry is definitely taking the lead here but the notes that Bobby, Keith, and Phil are hitting are so spot on to accompany that journey that Jerry is leading that it just really takes your breath away. An almost perfect version. Great call!

Jerry's playing is so intense, it almost seems angry. Keith's key work is fantastic, especially in the energetic middle jam. Awesome transition into Eyes. Definitely deserves more votes but picking a favorite Estimated/Eyes from the 70's is like trying to name the favorite one of your kids.
