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.

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...

Builds nicely before it drops into Around and then Sunshine and a great double encore.

St. Louis Arena

Excellent. 11/4/77, though, is still the best of the best (Dave's 12, Colgate). Starts super fast, mellows and then, ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH, things start happening. Let's not even mention what happens just past 8 minutes....Jerry.....!!!!!!!!
