Grateful Dead – “China Cat Sunflower” > “I Know You Rider” – Moving into the “Rider” improvisational section, Garcia dazzled the crowd with a series of explosive guitar licks.Ĭheck out the newly released video of the Grateful Dead performing “China Cat Sunflower” into “I Know You Rider on July 6th, 1990 below: Keyboardist Brent Mydland, who tragically passed away just weeks later on July 26th, adds a beautiful touch to the mix, backed by a fierce rhythmic charge from Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart. This particular “China>”Rider opened up the band’s second set, with Jerry Garcia looking healthy and happy. This sequence is from Brent’s final tour with the Grateful Dead.” A consistently played combination until 1995 (aside from a brief hiatus 1975-1978, with one performance during that span on 12/29/77), this was most commonly a second set opener in the later years, usually going into a Weir song. The new video is a gorgeous segue of “China Cat Sunflower” into “I Know You Rider” from July 6th, 1990 at Louisville, KY’s Cardinal Stadium.Īs the band’s official archivist David Lemieux explains in the video’s description, “By 1990, China/Rider had been in the Dead’s repertoire for more than 20 years, since they were first joined in the Fall of 1969. Its final performance was on July 8, 1995, at Soldier Field, in Chicago. Overall, it was performed live 552 times that we know of, making it the fifth most-played song by the band, and number one in songs sung by Garcia. The latest live Grateful Dead video from the band’s recently-launched “ All The Years Live” series is now available through the band’s official YouTube page. China Cat remained steadily the repertoire, with the exception of the years 1975-1978, when it was played just once, in 1977.
