It's not the gnarly 15+ minute versions it would be in later years, but there's something special about these early versions. Sweet/joyful sugareeee

Wembley Empire Pool

Probably, in my opinion the best of Europe '72.. But man, when not picking and choosing "bests" and trying to compete them together with opinions.. All heads would agree that this is an amazing version. Absolutely mind blowing. Love it, everything about this version is absolute f*cking perfect.

Listened to this driving through the Mojave Desert in the middle of the night. Blew my mind. Insane version. Probably the best later version ever.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Love the headlight part in this one, amazing. Gives me the chills everytime
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

I've heard so many versions of China-Rider, this one always stands out the most for me. The transition between the two is just so tightly packed and shows the band working together perfectly.. Jerry's tone is absolutely perfect too. Love this version for sure.
