Madison Square Garden

Ender to a very good first set. Jerry in fine form vocally, and he and Marsalis and musical in their sparseness.

Dark and moody version. Phil. The full ensemble drop into the minor for the solo break.

Thanks all– I'll pose the same question to you that Grendel answered. Give me something to stretch my listening habits, pitch a show for me to check out!

Some nice contributions from Bruce on accordion here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

That was bugging me, I had to figure out. At the start of "Fire," Lesh is playing the "wrong notes" (replacing the B and A that we expect with G# and F#, creating tension by implying that the chords the rest of the band is playing are minor). Sick stuff, no wonder folks went running. Was this typical for this tour/year?
