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.

Awesome. David Murray starts jamming fantastically about halfway through.

Star Lake Amphitheater

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...

Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Fantastic Eyes, nearly as rip-roaring as the Eyes from 11/4/77 Colgate, which might be best Eyes of '77 (and one of the best Eyes ever, even without the Stronger than Slipknot Codas of '73-'74). This entire show is so ridiculously great, and this Eyes drifts beautifully into a blistering Dancing-Wharf-Franklin's-SugMags. Top-notch versions, all!! Entire show and entire March Winterland '77 run is really really powerful...
Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Listen to the roar at the opening notes... So crazy, out of Touch, and then it stands alone.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Shredded Wharf Rat. From an absurdly ridiculous show.
Dark Star
Sept. 21, 1972
The Spectrum

Those last 7 minutes of MLB will pull you right out of the wildness of a very deep and dark Dark Star. Followed by a wonderful Dew! Another great show!
Not Fade Away
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Another great show from the Fall '87 tour.
