China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Another magical rendition in Reno. Give this a whirl, you will not be disappointed. The China outro is fantastic!!!
7
The Other One
Edgy and exploratory, on so many levels. K.Tobin matrix is absolutely sick! Wall of Sound reincarnated! Billy in the zone! Bob flubs lyrics, no matter
8
Truckin'
Inventive and crystal clear jam, leading into a 'nobody's fault' jam and a killer TOO>MLB where the '74 sound is just taking shape. Underappreciated.
6
Mind Left Body Jam
Beautiful, mellow version. Garica's tone is especially sweet, with an almost country-ish flavor; sounds like he's using a bit of slide?

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
thoughtful and airy just how I like these this one pays off beautifully.
2
Row Jimmy
Comes out of a MLB jam, a big fat mellow groove sets out what is one of those weeks of really good versions.
