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.

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...

For the love of God... So ridiculous and absurdly awesome. This is why there was never a band like the Grateful Dead and why there was never anything like a Grateful Dead show.... Hear it erupt from an insane and a little bit scary Other One---Wharf Rat and smile smile smile..... read all about the thunder and the floods and the lightning... a crashing and chaotic thing of beauty! Bob makes us wonder if it's all just a dream....

Followed by a great Stranger. Again, only here for sentimental reasons!!! Don't get too excited, it's rough and messy... though it was an interesting show, with a weird and wild Half-Step-Rider and Comes a Time......
Wharf Rat

University of New Mexico

Have a feeling.... if we could find this entire show.... it would have to be something else..... Powerful and amazing!

The whole Other One is fantastic, and the Cryptical Reprise is beyond soaring!
