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.

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...

Tennessee Jed

Lakeland Civic Center

Absolutely unique and cool. His Mu-tron wah wah or whatever in tarnation it was Jerry was pressing on builds beautifully and gets us back to Tennessee in fine fashion. Followed by a perfect Minglewood, perfect Row Jimmy, amidst a just about exactly perfect show from May of 1977. Go figure!!!!!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 22, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

One of the best China-Riders of '74, which means this is sacred, epic, profound and thoroughly rip-roaring fun.
Sugaree

New Haven Coliseum

True. May never be anything as majestic as a '77 Sugaree….
