China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

As this transition gets going, Phil tosses on the cordwood. As Jerry’s flames begin to emerge and reach upward, Keith’s sprinklings rise like sparks, while Billy’s rhythmic pulses seem to synchronize the whipping of the flames. And Bob, yeah, he’s like a bellows pumping oxygen into this thing the whole time. Brilliant bonfire. Step back and enjoy the heat.
