Stella Blue

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...

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

Also ridiculous, after a ridiculous Let it Grow.

This is a truly ridiculous and smoking hot Let it Grow. Could listen all day. Quite frankly, Let it Grow rarely fails to do its job. So many versions reach an exciting peak. Such a great tune, can be super Heady. This is a great example of why.

Excellent, excellent 80's Dupree!!! Could be a favorite. Seems to me to be about right....
