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...

The Dead prevail! is probably how I should say it, though, since I don’t even know if it’s a technical failure….. could have been a failure of Jerry’s brain, forgetting the words after 3 years! Either way, this is a rare, fun beast of a return!

Jammiest CJ ever! When mics fail, Jerry will prevail!! (See 2/5/78 Samson, etc….)
