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.

Definitely a good one--a very good one.

Tight. The first solo is a good one.

Nice transition and even better soloing during the Fire. A more 'pure' version than that from 8 days later. Thanks for leading me to this one.

Thanks to 'Mandojammer' on the archive for leading me to this show via his 1984 project.

Gotta give this one the old bump. A nice, energetic show opener that features some good guitar work from Jerry. One listen will tell you this one is clearly underrated (as is 9/19/90).
