They attack this one with a rare level of energy and precision. Nice showcase for Pig on Organ too.

Keith and Bobby absolutely crush it, setting up a white hot solo from Jerry to kick off a brilliant show.

Knickerbocker Arena

Phil is going absolutely nuts on this one.

I really wish they hadn't rushed out of the jam, but this version has the goods.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Fillmore Auditorium

TC is more loud than he is good on this one. It seems like an inspired version, but the mix is so off it's hard to really judge.
The Other One

Capital Centre

It may be short, but unlike similar versions, it packs in a lot of energy. Short of going full brain-melt, the band gives you what you need in full before the transition to Stella.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 15, 1990
Capital Centre

As formulaic as China > Riders can be, I'm surprised to see such a well-played, free-wheeling version get so little love. Brent starts pushing this one into new territory from the first note, but by the time the transition jam is underway, everyone is chasing the muse right alongside him.
