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.

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...

So true! Number one, but still needs more love, out of respect for what Jerry (and the entire gang) pulls off here... Packs a ridiculous punch!! When folks ask, How did Primal Dead rock? Play this. If you’re sorta new to the Dead, have a listen. For the love of Lorna Dune.... Under 50 votes on the 50th anniversary still feels a little criminal.

Yes! Best 1984 Scarlet-Fire? Maybe....

Beast of a Sugaree from a beast of a show.
