Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 19, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Hot damn, this one is smokin' and sounds incredible on Dave's Picks 35. One of the China>Riders where the Rider outshines the China Cat IMO and I'm here for it!

comparing 73 to 84? dumb. Love the energy at the end of this show and Brent sounds great here. Wonderful Dave's Picks

GRATE version. Jerry on fire and '84 vocals nice too
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

2/26/77 takes the cake for me but this one is a close #2. Slower, groovier version that melts together so well, part of a wonderful show
