Beautiful vocal performance from Garica. Sad this hasn't been added.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

I am of the opinion that the 80s had the best CCS -> Riders. Love the lightning energy here, it's probably my favorite version.

Providence Civic Center

Would have been cool if they played more drawn out China Cat's like this one. Groovy soloing.

Raceway Park

This was the version that made Bertha fully click for me. Bill & Mickey's drumming is so sick on this one.
Not Fade Away
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

It's a crime that I had to click "Show more submissions" to find where this version placed. I never knew that all Fade Away needed was a version with a third guitar player & an 11/14 minute song length. This whole show is one of my all time favorites & this performance was the best of the night.

I got goosebumps after that first solo ended, and every other moment here is equally as mind blowing. Absolute masterpiece.
