This version told me to put it on this list

Where the mix starts to come around

A soothing ply through the eye of the second set

Primordial & Seminal

Love these earlier ones...

And that none of this seemed to matter to ‘naked pole guy’, as he is known on other websites, who just kept right on getting a sunshine daydream sunburn…

What you all said and more. One of the -- if not the -- most energetic jam. Insistent, unrelenting...

Yes, and you realize that anew each time, it seems. In this case, the He's Gone gave me a chance to pick up the marbles.

The whole show is Bobby-mix oriented, and yes, it really showcases his phenomenal contributions. The China-Rider and that whole second-set suite give the listener a deeper appreciation of his genius.

I was hitchhiking to see a girl I met at a GD show. A guy picked me up and I tossed this China>Rider into his cassette player. As he dropped me at my destination, I offered to send him some tapes. He said, please send the one you just played. My pleasure. (Who knows maybe he’ll read this.) Anyway, the creativeness of Jerry Garcia is in full-on here as he invents on the fly/ in the moment throughout the Chinacat and transition. And the mix-up, accidental or otherwise, in the “sun’s gonna shine” verse just provides another opportunity to take this to new places. Likewise, after the “headlight” lyrics. As a suite, this one is top-shelf. Oh yeah, the girl and I have been married for 20 years. Thanks for the ride, man.
