China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1987
MSG

Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.

In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Yeah, the reprise is nuts, but so is this whole entire show.
Werewolves of London
May 5, 1978
Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

One and only time in New Hampshire (pretty sure...). With a great Dire Wolf earlier in the evening and this encore, were there rumors of something prowling in the woods of Hanover this Friday night....?

Gorgeous. Out of wild NFA, into wild Around, into wild and groovy Werewolves encore. Wild.

Yes! Classic Americana in the Boogie Down Bronx! Like everything at this show, one of the best versions of 1971.

Great one too, as has been said, right out of a really, really great China-Rider. Really loving this show....!
