Downs of Santa Fe

More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Just ferocious by the end of Rider, but there’s lots to enjoy all the way through this combo.

Much like the Philly version a week earlier, this one really shines.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Stanley Theatre

Subtly experimental transition jam seems to hint at “Feelin’ Groovy” without stating the theme outright.

Stanley Theatre

Just two days before one of the consensus favorites, this version is BLAZING.

Coliseum Arena

Do not overlook this version. Equals or surpasses the other versions from '89-'91. Incredible molten jam.

Boston Music Hall

I couldn't believe how good this version is. Can sometimes take or leave the song, but this is INCREDIBLE.

Lille Fairgrounds

Tight, melodic, lovely. This one really grabbed my attention.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

No kidding! Thunderous, yet melodic. Try it -- you'll like it.
Dire Wolf

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Good version, but I believe it's played electric.
