Nice early electric version. Always preferred this key for Dire Wolf compared to when they changed it in the later years. Just right. Nice version.

Takes you right to Chicago. Jerry’s playing emulates the blues greats. Hard rocking version that reminds me of a Junior Wells cut. Highly recommend.

Haunting organ playing. Crystalline and psychedelic early version that feels very spacey. Great vocal delivery.

Very nice solo from Jerry. Phil is all over this as well, some great melodic bass playing that compliments the song very well.

These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

Woahhhhhh. I didn’t even realize this show had a China>Rider. A little slow but I don’t mind. Has a deep groove that’s truly unmatched and reaches incredible interstellar heights with time and patience. Meditative version. A place where stars shine the brightest. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Europe 72 shows.

SMOKING. Check out Bobby laying it down during Keith’s solo. The energy is impalpable. Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream. It is not dying.

Almost gets to tiger levels of crazy. Very powerful version that could genuinely go on and on forever and I wouldn’t be mad. A true dreamscape.

This needs to be listened to. This is pure psychedelic cowboy music that puts you right in the story. One of my new favorite versions. Just perfect.

Stay cool with this one, temperatures reach higher than average and might melt your face off.
