Amazing tight unusual version with lots of sweet Chuck Berry style jamming. Hugely underrated.

Richmond Coliseum

This is automatically one of the best CC Rider's ever because Bobby plays better slide on this version than any other I'm aware of. While Bobby is usually the Donna of slide -- on this version he makes virtually no mistakes!

Oakland Coliseum Arena

starts strong, fast, clean, piercing Garcia w/Spanish guitar, excellent Bob vox, solo gets a bit noodley/spacey, classic laydown, good solid version - underrated
