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...

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Dec. 27, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Started out on Heineken and soon hit the harder stuff! A ton of fun for all as Phil makes up the words, has a few funny asides and Jerry attempts some funky midi flute until you can pretty much hear him shake his head and laugh at himself….! For some, this tune was a bathroom break… but for most it was a rare chance for us to get our Phil!
