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....

For the love of God... So ridiculous and absurdly awesome. This is why there was never a band like the Grateful Dead and why there was never anything like a Grateful Dead show.... Hear it erupt from an insane and a little bit scary Other One---Wharf Rat and smile smile smile..... read all about the thunder and the floods and the lightning... a crashing and chaotic thing of beauty! Bob makes us wonder if it's all just a dream....

Followed by a great Stranger. Again, only here for sentimental reasons!!! Don't get too excited, it's rough and messy... though it was an interesting show, with a weird and wild Half-Step-Rider and Comes a Time......

Have a feeling.... if we could find this entire show.... it would have to be something else..... Powerful and amazing!

The whole Other One is fantastic, and the Cryptical Reprise is beyond soaring!
