Stella Blue

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.

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...

Jerry's guitar scorches throughout, with genuine pin drop moments, followed by sweeping beauty. Coda laments for Stella are short but sweet.

Sugar Magnolia
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Super-charged and fantastic!! We take these Sugar Mags (and a lot of these shows!) for granted. But seriously, this is so full of vim and vigor and Pig’s keyboards are ballistic, wrapped around Jerry’s wah-wah!!! Just sitting there in the middle of a second set, with so much more high-powered rock and roll to come!!

Agreed. Pristine guitar and piano work from Jerry and Keith. Kinda hard to find but so amazingly sweet.
