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.

Awesome. David Murray starts jamming fantastically about halfway through.

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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

Never grow tired of this version. Never. Not just the best of the Fall of '77, this is a top ten version all around, ever. The length of the Fire is less important than the intensity, and this one burns!!!
Alabama Getaway

Satisfaction

Yep. Great Drumzpace-Wheel sandwich. Entire show worth another listen.
