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.

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 Cryptical Envelopment Coda/Reprise builds to blistering beauty....About as powerful as 5/2/70, 2/28/69, 2/22/69, and all the rest of the best, some of the finest moments in GD history, those Cryptical reprises..... especially the last few minutes of this one!!!
