China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

The mix is so perfect on the Dave's Pick that everything sounds magical here; I will say that, like most from this time, there still isn't much of a jam between Weir and Feelin' Groovy, but this is beautiful
Big River

Boston Garden

Superior version! There are versions where Jerry takes it around the chords more times, but what's played here is superb. In fact, forget about the length--the second solo here is one of the most outrageously great Big River solos Jerry ever assayed, about as good as it gets this side of 7-1-73
