He's Gone->Drums->Space, usually get bored with the longer drums but this one is truly special, real fast and powerful, gets so trippy after 4:15

I Know You Rider
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

afterwards Jerry asks Pig if he wants to play The Rub next by saying "Hey Pig, Rub"? Walked himself right into a hand job joke by Pigpen who responds with "maybe you can get a chance at it"
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The "Leonardo words from out a silk trombone" line from the 3rd verse in this version is really unique and stands apart from everything i've heard, the only one that sounds close is the Europe '72 one, 5/3, but the way Jerry sings it in this one is definitely better

Capitol Theater

Hadn't switched the one gold dollar line to ten yet
He's Gone
