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.

Sugaree

Beast of a Sugaree from a beast of a show.
Wharf Rat

Memorial Coliseum

Nice! Great Wharf Rat from a stupendous show!
Dancin' in the Streets

Harpur College

Yep. That jam builds like a majestic Grateful Dead Bolero, from the minute they stop singing, around 2 minutes in, for the next 12 minutes or so, and when Weir comes back, singing, it's just a beautiful thing.... we just don't want it to end. So again, if you can... please, PLAY IT LOUD.
Good Lovin'

Harpur College

Exactly right. Most have heard it, but if you have not..... please.... PLAY IT LOUD. Technically could still be the anniversary since everyone who was there were still feeling it at this time, 50 years ago.... I suppose... Some are probably still feeling it today....!!
