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.

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...

Yep. That jam builds like a majestic Grateful Dead Bolero, from the minute they stop singing, around 2 minutes in, for the next 12 minutes or so, and when Weir comes back, singing, it's just a beautiful thing.... we just don't want it to end. So again, if you can... please, PLAY IT LOUD.

Exactly right. Most have heard it, but if you have not..... please.... PLAY IT LOUD. Technically could still be the anniversary since everyone who was there were still feeling it at this time, 50 years ago.... I suppose... Some are probably still feeling it today....!!
Viola Lee Blues

What a way to end a masterpiece of a night. Slips into a short, sweet space/feedback and they Bid us Goodnight. One of the greatest shows of all time. Pure, primordial acid rock. After 50 years it still ain't grown old....

Cllmbs and rips, as all great Dews do, while leaving room for a pin to drop.....
