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

Ramble On Rose
July 8, 1978
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.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Should also say that this has, along with 9/11/74, one of the best preseventyfive intros out there.
Estimated Prophet
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

5/7/77 was the first time that Eyes directly followed Estimated (from what I can tell), but there was no segue--Estimated ended and from 'dead air' we get Eyes. Cool to know this Boston show (in the 'hockey rink'--Phil) was the first Estimated, Eyes--I hadn't known that until your post prompted me to go back and double check.
Loose Lucy

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Nice call! A tight version that socks a good punch! Jerry's solo is brief but well-developed.
Cassidy
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Nice one. Marshmallowy smooth like a big Cadillac. The jam towards the end is succinct but interesting.
Black Peter
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

A nice Bird Song, Cumberland, Truckin' and PITB in this show, too. Oh yeah, and it's '72 so TOO ain't half bad, either.
