Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Totally bananas Bertha!! The transition out of Miracle is savage, all part of a gonzo post-drums jam to end a truly brilliant show!!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

When we listen to this version it brings us right back…. sorta like another variation on the way they sounded nearly every time we heard them play China-Rider in the 1980s….in other words, China-Rider would somehow manage to take some soaring unexpected twists and turns and still always be roaring and urgent and pure bliss…just like this. If that makes any sense!!?!!?
