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...

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Swing Auditorium

Wow! Indeed there is a Mountain! Loud and clear, if brief... Nice!!! Really love this one, takes some great turns....
Hard to Handle

Gaelic Park

Earlier, Bobby asks the crowd which needs to be louder, A, the voices or B, the instruments. The crowd roars with B. Like everything else at this show, this Hard to Handle is even more powerful thanks to them cranking up those instruments!!!

The sense of urgency as they surge into GDTRFB... it was the last time the original five were the only ones onstage...

Maybe Weir wishes he was a headlight on a northbound train, maybe because Jerry was lost in the flaming sparks falling from the subway trains pulling in above and beyond the stands....
