Uncle John's Band

Madison Square Garden

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

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.

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...

Great version! Great show!
The Wheel
June 15, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Can't believe this isn't here already! Nice! All Wheels of 76 are amazing and gorgeous, no matter how short and sweet. Tremendous show. This Wheel is nearly as great as the one from the night before. And so is the show. Tremendous. Flows out of groovy Dancin' into powerful Sugar Mag-Scarlet-Sunshine...

If we count the jam after drums as still the Alligator (and...why not?!), then absolutely, gotta agree... really cool Alligator!!!
Viola Lee Blues
