Perhaps its uniqueness prevents it from EPIC status but listen to how obtuse this thing is.

Something for everyone here: lush aural quiltwork, bass solo, and a 'Feelin' Groovy' segment which is followed by tight abstractions

Laid-back yet rich and full. Well worth a listen!!!

Both more nuanced and multi-textured than your typical PITB jam. Great stuff!!!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

A very strange but rollicking version. Yes, Weir sings the headlight part (was Jerry fixing his guitar?) Also, check out Phil's lines at the beginning of CCS. Oh yeah, and even though it would be nearly a year and a half before the 'Feelin' Groovy' jam made its first appearance in the CCS-IKYR transition, you can definitely hear a little hint of it here. Thanks to CarrionCrow for the heads up on this show.
