China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 19, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Awesome! A unique case where the Rider for certain out does the China Cat.
Dark Star

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

It's really not till the last 5 minutes of the song that you get anything that resembles "crashy noise". This is one that needs full attention though as there is so much going on here. It is certainly not a version you can play in the background during a party. I really do love this version though.
Eyes Of The World

Jai-Alai Fronton

This version is fantastic! It really deserves more love. It's up there with all the other wonderful and highly regarded renditions from '74.
Looks Like Rain

Cal Expo

Set aside the cheesy Vince synth sound, this version is really solid and worth the listen for those that enjoy the song.
Stella Blue

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

I agree, this is ridiculously good. I'd put it up against any version from the 80's or 90's.
