Madison Square Garden

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...

Dark Star

Family Dog at the Great Highway

If this was voted greatest Dark Star ever I’d be pretty okay with that.…. Especially since “greatest ever” just leads to great debates. And granted, I can say “greatest ever” about a lot of these. But…. This should have A LOT MORE VOTES!!! Ridiculous!!!!!!

Yes. But this is still somehow a fantastic version!!!

Wembley Arena

They should’ve played this so much more!! Bruce’s piano jam bridge from Let it Grow into this is spectacular!

Jerry moves between delicate subtleties and ridiculous thrashing!!
