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...

Scorching!
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Fantastic show with excellent Scarlet-Fire, amazing Samson but... no Eyes, which is a darn shame because it would have been awesome for sure! Maybe it's the 2/3/78 version in Madison, WI, which is pretty darn great...
All Along the Watchtower

Boston Garden

Followed by a gorgeous Dew. Great 1st set too!
