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.

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...

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

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

One of the best Eyes ever. And the one the next night is nearly as strong.

A ridiculously epic and rip-roaring night in Nassau! And the night before in Nassau is just as great! Two amazing Eyes both nights!!!

I'll buy that for a dollar! But howzabout the best Eyes-Estimated?? The first one ever was a few nights later, 11/4/77 and it is smoking hot ridiculousness, out of an incredible Playin.' Like this one, 11/4 is a scorching, blistering, raging beauty. Eyes-Estimated was a lot less frequent, but always a fun surprise! Also agree, both these Eyes are greater than the Englishtown version, and that doesn't take away at all from the greatness of Englishtown! Because these two are that good. They stand up very well to the best of 73-74.
