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.

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...

When mics fail, the boys do make delicious lemonade.

Still the all-time favorite, I think... obvious vote, so why not bump it up to 100...?

They shift gears halfway through and it's a bit sloppy, and then they pop the clutch and it takes off. Entire show is excellent.
