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...

Jerry's guitar scorches throughout, with genuine pin drop moments, followed by sweeping beauty. Coda laments for Stella are short but sweet.

Donna sounds like Patti Smith those last few minutes, and those last few minutes.... The most insanely scorching, blistering, raging, wild and insane finale in the history of stand alone Scarlets... The way it surges out of a serene and gorgeous jam.... So crazy! Fantastic! Powerful!

They wreck the house with this barn burner.... Best ever? Maybe... One of them, at least.... Truckin' was kind of a rare beast in '77, not played til Englishtown......

Yep. Early Berthas rip. More country-rock-garage-band ripping....
