Madison Square Garden

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

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...

The jam out into Drums makes it the best....

In and out of the Garden it went, rumbling triumphantly out of Dark Star the next night. One of the best shows of the 90s....

War Memorial

No argument here. Still the favorite. Those last few minutes....
Eyes Of The World
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Grendel, thanks for the hilarious Brady Bunch metaphor! Yes! Exactly. Poor Boston. The forgotten child. And gotta agree on suggestions of the Eyes of 3/19/77 and 11/4/77. 11/4/77 is especially fantastic, as Eyes of the Worlds go. And thanks for the reminder of 3/19/77. What a show. So ridiculous, every time....
