The jam after "China Doll" leads into a short drum solo, during which they tease a bit of "Not Fade Away." The band then jumps in and it's a fantastic and boisterous rendition of the Buddy Holly classic. And the versions here will not disappoint. The band hadn't played "China Cat" into "I Know You Rider" in over three years. When they lead into "China Cat Sunflower," the audience explodes. The band then kicks into "Playing In The Band."
