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...

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Around 10 minutes into Scarlet, things get wild, and apparently Mt. St. Helen's was erupting again... Heads exited after scorching show into a storm of ash flurries from up north. Historic night, amazing show!

True. Cue this up in a mix with Good Lovin' and Dancin' from 5/2/70 and you might have a very nice day!
