Nobody's Fault But Mine

The Spectrum

Rare, rootsy and spare reading. The one in '79 when Jer's mic blew had more torque.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 7, 1984
Silva Hall, Hult Center

Hey Grendel for killer '84 style in this vein check out 4/19/84 one of my alltime favorite and rippingest '80s China>Riders....No double verse but something was in the air or the drink....
Not Fade Away
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

Remains a mystery to me how this one does not rank higher and only has 9 votes - should be near the top in my estimation but then I love '71 energy and sound.
Not Fade Away

Manhattan Center

still killer
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 4, 1973
Cincinnati Gardens

Seriously heady '73 action here - laid back but forceful and the peak into the chilliest of Feelin Groovies is not to be missed for those that give a fart...

If this does not make it to one of the top 10 Bertha's of all time - listen to it LOUDER please.
