Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Spacey, LONG, jam. There's a video, and you can see Bob smiling as Jerry somehow nails the last climax of the jam and they slam into the chorus.

Hot version - Jerry's guitar tone is thicker than it was in 94, he's totally present and playing some of those added riffs like in 10/12/83.

Lots of very under the radar shows in 82. This version is perfectly executed from start to finish - great end jam with huge finish.

Sports Arena

Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

Your 90s matrixes always sound fantastic - would be super grateful if you got around to anything like that!

Pretty hot version. Jerry digs into the mid solo, leading Bob to eventually cut him off. This show is pretty much as good as it got in late 94 or 95.

Absolutely fantastic version. Searing solos from Jerry - I’d say this is 90% as good as 9/18.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

Hot version, band definitely into it. An unfortunate note on Jerry's playing in the late 80s - sometimes it could feel like he was playing the same runs over and over. They're very well played, but it's still the same solo over and over in china cat. Great "wish i was a headlight" in Rider

Roanoke Civic Center

Probably one of the most under-the-radar shows in the band's history. Fantastic, strongly delivered version. Beautiful outro. Stunned no one talks about this version or this show
