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. If we ever have to sleep in a hollow log and can only listen one show, this might be it.... The Other One-Cryptical... the Good Lovin'.... The Viola Lee....... the whole thing is so ridiculous!!! Happy 50th.

Insane as Cosmic Charlie crawls out of the rip-roaring primal raging beauty of the wildest Cryptical Coda, one of the finest masterpieces in GD history.... It's number one, but still can't believe the Cryptical doesn't have more votes.

A beauty. The acoustic set is gorgeous. The electric sets are ridiculous, powerful and absurd. Profound and glorious, the whole shebang. We know all about this show, but even after 50 years, it'll never grow old!!!!!
Good Lovin'

Play it as loud as you can and your day will improve, no matter how great or lousy your day might already be going.... 50 years ago....
