Out of China Cat, incorrectly listed on Dick's Picks 12 as "Mind Left Body Jam" is actually a Feelin' Groovy jam. Absolutely wonderful.

I can't believe this version isn't here. So emotive, Jerry's voice is unlike anything I've heard, gives me the chills every time. Just beautiful.

When I first heard the China Cat tease I couldn't believe my ears. I don't like making categorical statements like "this is the best version ever", there so many versions that I haven't heard, so I'll just say: check this one out, NOW!!! You won't regret it. :)

Heard this for the first time on the bus while going to college on rainy winter day. By the time it ended I couldn't breathe, my eyes welled with tears and an idiot grin crossed my face from ear to ear. My whole body was covered with gooseflesh. An unforgettable experience.
