China Cat Sunflower
Jan. 2, 1972
Winterland Arena

A curious Cat peekin' through some Good Lovin'. Not an epic CCS per se, but the transitions in 'n out are as smooth as a Michael Jordan layup. Unique.

York Farm

We can only wonder...

Doin' That Rag
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West

Not too much Tiny Tim and Jerry's solo blooms nicely.

Black Peter
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

A slightly brisk and jaunty version that is smack-dab in the middle of a TOO. More bluesy rock than ponderous and Faulknerian (?).

China Cat Sunflower
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Jerry's early tone is sweetly acerbic, and pleases like the burn from a swig of crisp Coke on a hot day. Seamless transition into 'The Eleven'.

Candyman

Radio City Music Hall

Is the solo on the album the full thing? Regardless, it's very nice, in that intricate, early-'Tiger' way.
Row Jimmy
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Definitely a really good one.
Dark Star
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

There were 7 'Dark Star's in '74.
Uncle John's Band
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Just cause something is barely noticed by the radar doesn't mean it is optimal to not check it out.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Currently sits in the top 10 for '73 Eyes and, despite the sense of discovery and energy that Eyes often offered in this year, I'd say is about right. February '73 was a great month for Eyes.
