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.

Viola Lee Blues
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

What a way to end a masterpiece of a night. Slips into a short, sweet space/feedback and they Bid us Goodnight. One of the greatest shows of all time. Pure, primordial acid rock. After 50 years it still ain't grown old....
Morning Dew

Cllmbs and rips, as all great Dews do, while leaving room for a pin to drop.....
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

Aye. Right up there with Alabama (5/17/77), Iowa (2/5/78), Horton Field House (4/24/78), the Fox, the Mosque,.......
I Know You Rider

Yep. If we ever have to sleep in a hollow log and can only listen one show, this might be it.... The Other One-Cryptical... the Good Lovin'.... The Viola Lee....... the whole thing is so ridiculous!!! Happy 50th.
Cosmic Charlie

Harpur College

Insane as Cosmic Charlie crawls out of the rip-roaring primal raging beauty of the wildest Cryptical Coda, one of the finest masterpieces in GD history.... It's number one, but still can't believe the Cryptical doesn't have more votes.
