High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Seriously beautiful. This show keeps surprising me, there are some sweet nugs in '85.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Frost Amphitheatre

Cements my belief that '82 China/Riders are top notch. They don't miss a note or beat here with the super China, cool and controlled transition into a walloping Rider with pounding Mickey fills.

Okay Scarlet, cool transition, but WHAT A FIRE! Perfect vocal delivery, incredible jamming, ripping peaks by Jer, and groovy as all hell. My go to '85 Fire.
