I can see why it might have been called the Feelin' Groovy bridge, but it's the chords of Uncle John's Band and I suspect derived either from having once or twice sandwiched UJB in there before IKYR or else from naturally at some point prior having drifted that-a-way as a tease then pulled back. I do remember a first time hearing its use but have no reason to think it was the first time they did it.
although the night / morning when they appeared on stage for a "soundcheck" @ appox/ 1am for The "Watkins Glenn" festival I may had my doubts too, but quickly learned to love it!
this version has the most beautiful, stunningly powerful transition in it, unlike any i have heard before. it's from 8:09-8:22, from the end of the 59th street bridge section into the beginning of rider. do any true scholars out there know anything about this particular musical interlude? does it have a name? did they do it much?
@idfree99 Not hating on Mickey, but hearing Kreutz this clearly and w more funk is SOOOO good against those guitars. This might be one of the best china/riders....
Jerry is the man ..........nobody has ever had such a unique sound
Can't help it,,,that smile makes my day after ALL these years 🌹🤟🦩
Ok-I can now say after 40 yrs. & hundreds of versions this is absolute my favorite DEAD song---?
It's called the "Feelin' Groovy Jam" transition between China & Rider. They played it in '73 & '74. Best China-->Rider versions ever, imho.
Yes it’s so lethal
agreed .........best years for cat/rider by light years
This has to be one of the clearest recordings of the 5 instruments together
Billy is a beast, so razor sharp and underrated

Crisp. Billy Kreutzman is the funk master.
This one reminds me a lot of the Europe '72 version! Maybe that's why everybody loves it so much. It's a reason why I do!
Yes it does sound like it mellow & tight , Love that Europe record..
Jerry at his f..ken best. Loved when they played, adding something like a sweet Jam in the song totally, Jerry.,.,Thanks so sweet.
Even before one and half min you know you're into the ride of your life.. ❤
very nice guitar work here.
The sound quality on this is insane!
This is just great.
Smokin Baby
the dead were better with just the one drummer.

they woke "us" up..and then played for nearly 3 hours
Go Phil! (11:00 there abouts :>)

Chris Kirshbaum It's called the "Feelin' Groovy Jam." Played in '73 & '74.
Sounds a lot like Uncle John's Band

Sound is exquisite! Due to “Wall of Sound” arrangement?
No. Wall of Sound was for the audience. The soundboard, the number of tracks, the band and some luck provided this clarity.
