You can check out the lyrics here, and read David Dodd’s take on the song here. The song is definitely in the blues tradition, and, at least for me, seems right in line with the best of Johnny Cash’s oeuvre. But, the narrator does understand just enough about true love to realize that he is missing out on something extraordinary. On one hand, the Europe 72 version just feels so authentic with beautiful clear vocals and instruments, great audio quality and such. 'By 1990, China/Rider had been in the Deads repertoire for more than 20 years, since they were first joined in the Fall of 1969. The lyrics are incredibly heartbreaking as they plead, lament, and wonder about not just the narrator’s lack of a true love, but also the very absence of, it seems, his ability to even fathom any part of such a connection. Pig wrote the words and music to the song and, obviously, sang lead. Answer (1 of 7): Ahhh China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider. Garcia, Weir, and Lesh overdubbed entirely new vocals on July 13th at Alembic, with Garcia apparently making another pass on August 8th. The Dead only performed Two Souls in Communion during the European tour and the Academy of Music run that led up to it. JESSE: Back in San Francisco after the tour, the band whittled it down to three versions of the China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider combinationCopenhagen, Hamburg and Parisand picked Paris. Undoubtedly, the Other One provides the centerpiece of the entire show, but the rest of the set is so solid, especially a bluesy, emotional Two Souls in Communion and a ripping Lovelight. Artist - Grateful Dead Title - Europe 72 Format - 3X 180-Gram Black Vinyl Records Label - Rhino 2022. And, truth be told, the perfection continues over the entire thirty-six minutes – 36 minutes! – of the song, though the tune does head off into very spacey territory, far removed from the pure jam of the earlier portion. Every lick, every drumbeat seems to have been engineered for years in advance, which is, in a way, exactly what happened, the previous eight years of the Dead all leading to that moment. Among them are China Cat Sunflower - which was now indelibly linked to the longtime Dead cover I Know You Rider - as well as Cumberland Blues. In that tune, the jam before the first verse is, dare we say, absolutely perfect. These concerts and this tour, 50 years later, are still considered one of the highest of high points in the Grateful Dead's performing career.The second half bests the first, beginning with a hot Truckin’ that races off, crashing and rambling in the latter parts into Drums, which itself leads into a show-stopping, unreal Other One (note that the track listing in the recording here is wrong, starting with the missing Drums and throwing everything afterwards off).
