Uncle John's Band

Madison Square Garden

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

Madison Square Garden

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...

True. Always was.

Ridiculously thunderous! Between powerful He’s Gone and Black Peter, great segues throughout.

Boston Music Hall

Stellar Stella. Lush and powerful and gorgeous. Phil drops bombs as Jerry does his thing and the band is just fantastic.
Turn On Your Love Light
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Oh yeah. Totally forgot to mention. This might be the greatest Lovelight ever. Just another example of how Jerry Garcia was the greatest musician who ever walked the Earth.

Glorious! And a beautiful transition to Eyes!
