Easy song to overlook (I had no idea I forgot to submit it as I love this show), but this is a good one.

Surprised not to see this one; killer start to one of the year's best shows.

Madison Square Garden

I often think of this one as a throwaway, but this version flat out kicks ass. Great solo from Jerry. These shows at MSG smoked.

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Great version from one the best 1993 shows. Jerry's vocals are excellent and the outro jam smokes.

Very strong and powerful version. Jerry is in great voice and the outro is magnificent.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

This version had me bouncing up and down from beginning to end. What a truly sublime take on the combo.
Eyes Of The World
July 2, 1991
Giants Stadium

The best nonexistent version.
China Doll
July 30, 1983
Ventura County Fairgrounds

Someone described this version as having every tempo all at once. It's a very good description.
Victim Or The Crime
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

The "Victim / Eyes" combo here is hugely underrated. Out of this world jamming and mammoth versions of both songs.
