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.

Poignant as always. Especially considering they were packing it in, maybe forever…

Gorgeous and urgent. There’s a genuine sadness to this one, especially as it rolls into a poignant Stella…..

Bobby’s first!! Far as I can tell…. Great, long, quirky jam! Stretches out for over 10 minutes. Historic version at an historic show!!!

A solemn scorcher!!! First since 4/26/70, far as I know. Over 19 years….
