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.

A beauty!!! You can hear a pin drop halfway through, until all of a sudden Jerry goes a little loud and swiftly rips some sad and savage notes....

One of the best of the early 80s. Some incredible stuff happening in these 20-odd minutes...

Holy Moses. This entire show is ridiculous. Jerry does not want to go home, wants to stay right there in that blue light cheap hotel....
