Great end to a big combo.

Swirling organ and guitar. Raw energy.

Deal
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Ender to a very good first set. Jerry in fine form vocally, and he and Marsalis and musical in their sparseness.

Dark and moody version. Phil. The full ensemble drop into the minor for the solo break.

Capital Centre

Also wanted to add a comment about the distinctive "Eyes"-type riffing that occurs about 2/3s of the way in.

The Mosque

Agreed. Show as a whole is overrated.
Playin' In The Band

Adams Field House, U of Montana

I confess that I am just not a big fan of the PITB-type jams, but this is extraordinary stuff.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Bump for Jerry's birthday. "Samson, Scarlet > Fire" is all time stuff. Whole run from Feb-May (including the Jerry Band stuff) is killer.
