Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Rocking, jamming excellence...

Jerry's guitar makes up for his recovering from laryngitis....

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

There was nothing like a Terrapin in the Garden! Into drums-quick-weird-almost-Close Encounters-Spanish Jam-rip-roaring Truckin' in the Garden....

Phenomenal. Jam builds intensely after about 8 minutes. Pretty insane. And everything leading up to it, too.

Grendel, always enjoy reading your posts. 9/18/90 is a real nice show. That entire Garden run was pretty much magnificent. All 6 shows could have made a great box. 19-20 were particularly epic in how they felt like one long journey (and I say this knowing it was all one long journey... but those 2 nights were something special..). Despite Road Trips and DP9, it still would be a great box, since a lot of fantastic stuff from those shows was still left on the cutting room floor (Help-Slip-Frank; GDTRFB-Stella; the entire 2nd set from the first night - 9/14/90 - a scorching Scarlet-Fire, a sublime Terrapin that won't quit, a weird, blistering O1 into a beautiful, haunting, and very underrated Wharf Rat - an awesome night with a straightforward but ridiculously fun first set....), really, everything from that run (and 9/15, Bruce's first night as an official member, was none to shabby either... Even the Women Smarter from 9/20 was just exactly perfect). Having said all that, the entire Fall Tour through Europe was pretty darn tight. Everyone came to play after the tragedy of the summer. And they played hard..... But I digress. Completely forgot that we're on a totally different Garden run here. This Fall of '93 Garden run was pretty darn good too, especially considering it was 1993!!!

One of the best ever!

Soaring and scorching!

Grendel, this really is an excellent show. The Throwing Stones out of Wharf Rat is one of the best of the 90's, thanks to Murray's energy. But even before he joins them onstage, the first set rocks with the opening Help-Slip-Frank, then Jerry's MIDI rips on Ramble, the gorgeous Masterpiece, and Bird Song is one for the ages. Plus, these are two of the best overall versions of Easy Answer and Lazy River. Worth checking out for sure!
