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....

Yep. That jam builds like a majestic Grateful Dead Bolero, from the minute they stop singing, around 2 minutes in, for the next 12 minutes or so, and when Weir comes back, singing, it's just a beautiful thing.... we just don't want it to end. So again, if you can... please, PLAY IT LOUD.

Exactly right. Most have heard it, but if you have not..... please.... PLAY IT LOUD. Technically could still be the anniversary since everyone who was there were still feeling it at this time, 50 years ago.... I suppose... Some are probably still feeling it today....!!

What a way to end a masterpiece of a night. Slips into a short, sweet space/feedback and they Bid us Goodnight. One of the greatest shows of all time. Pure, primordial acid rock. After 50 years it still ain't grown old....
