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....

Most gorgeous ever? I reckon.

A long, weird Dew!!! Strange too! Some might call it sloppy (they would not be wrong…..) while others might just wonder what sort of shenanigans the lads were up to in Paris this day (Billy especially!!!). Phil is the MVB (most valuable Beast) of the entire show!! Ridiculous fun! More proof they were not just the greatest at what they did…. They were the only ones who did what they did. As we know…..

Fast and fun! Not the scorching masterpiece of 11/4/77 (a beast of blistering urgency....!) but a great transition from a smoking Estimated.... overall excellent!
