Uncle John's Band

Madison Square Garden

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

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...

Amazing Eyes!!!!

Jammy! Quick-paced but over 15 minutes long. The jam out of Estimated is excellent, and it continues in that vein... Love the comparison to 11/4/77 at Colgate, which is perhaps my favorite of all the "FAST" EYES!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Oregon Country Fairgrounds

Superb!!! As strong an example of early 80s China-Rider as the trip to Kesey’s 10 years earlier is a fine example of ‘72 China-Rider.
