China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

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....

St. Louis Arena

Excellent. 11/4/77, though, is still the best of the best (Dave's 12, Colgate). Starts super fast, mellows and then, ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH, things start happening. Let's not even mention what happens just past 8 minutes....Jerry.....!!!!!!!!
