MSG

Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.

In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Bruce makes this the best of the 90's, from one of their best Garden runs ever.

Prime as Primal can be.... Dark Star goes in and out forever-- Groovy Growling Jam into Other One is great and the UJB Jam is monumental and urgent, gotta listen through the whole stretch, NON-STOP, straight into the excellent Stephen - Eleven - Caution - Main Ten - Caution til they Bid ya Goodnight!!! Not just another Dark Star.... deserves another name altogether.....
