In this week's installment of the Grateful Dead's "All The Year's Live" video series, we're headed back to 1974 for a classic pairing of "China Cat Sunflower" and "I Know You Rider."
"Although a standout combination going back to later 1969, 'China/Rider' developed a longer, more intricate, more ascendant jam during 1973, and it peaked in 1974. This rendition for the final run of the shows before the Dead's hiatus in 1974 shows the remarkable interplay between the five musicians, with some stunning camera work, all shot on 16mm negative film," said GD legacy manager/archivist David Lemieux of this 14-minute combo.
