Here's where the bus came by for me. My first show...every note is burned into my brain!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Giants Stadium

Sick extended jaminess reminds us how much of a kick in the ass Hornsby gave Jerry

Desolation Row

Kaiser Convention Center

Bob really belts it out on this relatively early version. WAS THAT SOME KINDA JOKE?!? Awesome...Zimmy would be proud.

Sugaree

Mature Sugaree from an underrated NYE show. Jerry's voice is so expressive and Brent finally has his part dialed on the B3.

My 7th birthday! Wow...this is a truly smokin' jam! Dancin'>Mojo>Dancin'>Wheel? Yes please.
Cumberland Blues

Tivolis Koncertsal

FOUR votes? C'mon people... this one's a smoker!
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Aw jeez...what can I add? This is the one you've been looking for, no doubt. If you ever wondered what it would sound like if Jerry was in a metal band, and they played U.S. Blues, here you go. You gotta see the video, though. STARTLING to see Jerry move like that on stage. I love it. Not the tightest, but ol' Jer clearly had ALL of his mixes dialed that night. Just exactly perfect.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 14, 1971
Davis Gym, Bucknell University

This one is a SMOKER. I think this is close to the prototype version of China>Rider in it's peak period. They got jammier later on, but they were never this punchy again. Sounds great on 30DoD from 2012...
He's Gone
Feb. 26, 1981
Uptown Theater

An amazing jam emerges out of this one...almost 10 minutes worth of unique goodness!
