You'll hear voices and see faces in this abstract assault which showcases exceptional group interplay. Bertrando's AUD is VG+.

I always thought that Summer '74 was the best period for this tune but this version is sick.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 26, 1971
Gaelic Park

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.
