Stella Blue
Sept. 15, 1990
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.

Baby

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Murky, muddy, prowling blues crawls from an eerie China Doll.
He's Gone

Exactly. After a high energy first set, this has a totally insane coda of roaring, chanting madness.... followed by an eerie Spoonful and a surging, mellow Eyes (with a crazy Weird segue out of Spoonful) where the energy picks back up strong as they tumble into a rip roaring GDTRFB, with a nice jam into Drums.... after Space, an even eerier China Doll drifts into a very rare Baby What you Want from Brent!
Franklin's Tower
Dec. 4, 1979
Uptown Theater

One of the best stand alone Franklins (out of amazing Estimated) and it goes into a rocking, flowing, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous jam. On the tail end of Dave's 31 extras, this whole show is excellent, as I recall...
Blow Away

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

So crazy. My buddy says he was there. Climbed a pole behind Jerry. Might have taken some of his clothes off. IDK. Says the highlight was Kesey on kazoo. Says it was a pretty hot show overall.
Blues For Allah

Kezar Stadium

The whole shebang is amazing ridiculousness. One of their greatest moments.
