As Dick himself said of how this China Cat is born, "[it] is worth any effort to hear."

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Conjures circus tents, smoky saloons and Frankenstein in a souped-up '57 Chevy. Well worth a listen!

I love what Phil does on this one. This thing is short and sweet.

Great American Music Hall

Yup, tight and tender. Great version! Maybe the best represented thing from this show (save for the oddball stuff only played around this time).
Eyes Of The World

Dillon Stadium

This could very well be THE definitive Phil version of this song.
Uncle John's Band
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Short and sweet. Dave's Picks 2.
Truckin'
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Yup, good jam at the end (is it even Truckin' at that point) just before a Mind Left Body. And Jerry seems to execute his ideas really well within the song proper. Dave's Picks 2.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Like many folks, this is the first version I ever heard and it was love at first listen.
