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...

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

Absolutely. Entire show, especially the China-Rider, and the Other One-Sing me Back Home... Gotta say, listening a lot to 3/19/77 last 2 days, and forgot how insanely brilliant the PITB is on that one....!! A Samson sandwich with an Estimated-Terrapin starter on the side, all in the first set..... And forget about Set 2..... Too much...

True!
Dancin' in the Streets
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Out of a fiery Eyes! One of the best Dancin's ever. 2nd set was on Sirius today and I'd forgotten how epic the entire sequence is, one long song called Eyes-Dancin-Wharf Rat-Franklin's-Sugar Mags, classic versions of each, after an insanely epic first set (with a Terrapin-Playin-Samson-Playin first set closer.....)
