Uncle John's Band

Madison Square Garden

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Madison Square Garden

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...

Let Me Sing Your Blues Away
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Poor Keith. He sang it 6 times over the next 2 weeks and never sang it again. Ah well. Mighty great show though!!!!! This tumbles into what starts as a bit of a ramshackle China Cat and builds into a truly magnificent Rider, complete with a really groovy Groovy Jam, as it was taking shape in late '73!!!
Truckin'

Nassau Coliseum

Groovy and laid back til it hits about the 5 minute mark and then it turns raucous and wild. And yeah, the NFA-GDTRFB is incredible. Underrated show big time! Night before is just as strong, both at Nassau....

Hypnotic is the word. After a raggedy great China-Rider and cool El Paso.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

One of the best Eyes ever. And the one the next night is nearly as strong.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

A ridiculously epic and rip-roaring night in Nassau! And the night before in Nassau is just as great! Two amazing Eyes both nights!!!
