Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A pounding, emotional version delivered with the inspiration that runs throughout the MSG ’90 run

Brokedown Palace
May 9, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

One of a few comical, double-start versions, this one comes around to cap off a great evening, sending us aglow into the parking lot

Aiko Aiko
April 3, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

Punchy and well explored to open the gig; beefy and well mixed soundboard to boot
2
Hell in a Bucket
June 5, 1993
Giants Stadium

Charging, gnarly version to open the proceedings before the dish-off off to a soaring Sugaree

Foolish Heart
Sept. 19, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Enjoy the free wanderings of these earlier versions before the “hook” closed the jam segment.

Oakland Auditorium

Definitely on a different trip. Throwaway? Just checked in with and posted three others from this year: 1/18, 5/3, 5/8. The antitheses of no energy.
The Eleven

Monterey Performing Arts Center

Always a pleasure and a privilege to blare this one as they, especially Jerry, turn this inside out, over and over again. Not concerned about the order of songs/ just happy it's here.
The Music Never Stopped
Nov. 23, 1978
Capital Centre

Oh yeah
