There's a reason this is on the 'Spring 1990 So Glad You Made It' compilation release.

Not exploratory but incredibly well-played. This whole show should be officially released.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

A really nice CCS, though the Rider does seem to flag a bit.

A nice 'compact' version; the pathos is all there--as it is in virtually every song from this first set. Indeed, a sort of tasty, less-is-more approach to the embellishment here.

I think you meant '73 and, if so, thanks because I do need to revisit some of that 2-night run at some point. From the 22nd, a really nice DS, PITB and a very underrated 'Bird Song'. I also need to check out this TLEO.

I've always loved this one and, boy, is it unjustly low on the list. Be sure to wait for the jam after the final verse.

Searing. A little coke vapor in the brain.
