China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1987
MSG

Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.

In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Yowza!!! 4 minutes in, the madness begins. It ends as Bob says this one's for Marley and they head into a powerful He's Gone.

So groovy!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

After Bobby and Jerry trade sweet licks in a hot Rooster, the jamming builds in this smoking China-Rider.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

Never grow tired of this version. Never. Not just the best of the Fall of '77, this is a top ten version all around, ever. The length of the Fire is less important than the intensity, and this one burns!!!
