Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Jerry flubs the cheap hotel, but it's OK. His guitar makes up for it. Check out last couple minutes. Builds beautifully. Just a notch below 9/19.

Scorching. Just flipping through the 1990 Garden run. Surprised this ain't here already. Bruce's 1st official night as a member of the band.

Weird one for sure. Starts as Spanish Jam, Bobby has a great notion, throws in O1 lyrics. Always good pair. Into Stellar Stella Blue-GDTRFB-Around...

Grateful blues. Searing, heartbreaking, gorgeous, blistering blues. When Jerry plays like this, nobody does it better. This is the blues, plain and simple.

Moves from whispering guitars and keyboards to heavy metal thunder.
