Sneaking into either Gardens is an impressive task, I commend you (having snuck into many shows myself).

sweet 1st set....all around strong show

-steve (02/12/2010)

Interesting that no one is commenting on the SECOND set considering we have a 25 minute Dark Star sandwiched around Drums/Space.

And yes, the combination of Bruce playing a REALLY strong show (and pushing Garcia to new heights) and Branford sitting in on sax makes this a special show. I would highly recommend downloading it.

There's a wonderful AUD recording available on archive.

Shakedown and Help/Slip/Frank set openers in one show, AND a heady Dark Star to split set two? The guy who snuck in picked the right show to give that task a whack. I only know people who have snuck into outdoor venues, but the Garden is impressive.

Will be officially released on 30 Trips Around The Sun Box (SEPT 2015)
-M C (06/10/2015)

The Dark Star sandwiching around the drums in the second set is why this band is so special. They made it to 1991 and were still able to sound so great. A truly great 2nd set after a very good first set.

they should have released a DVD/Blu Ray of this show in the 30 Trips box.

Sneaking in to MSG was the easiest thing in the world. All it took was 2 old ticket stubs taped together and a $5 bill under it. The guy who ripped the tickets would take the 5 and off you went. Me and my crowd from Brooklyn would do this at every show whether we liked the band or not. A night out.

-Bookkeeper (04/21/2020)

People really need to stop confusing It's All Over Now Baby Blue with It's All Over Now.

The first one is a ballad originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan - and closes this show. The second one is a more rock 'n rollin' number done originally by Bobby Womack.
-Kate Feather (08/25/2020)

would be better to label the Dylan song "Baby Blue" on this website for clarity.

Been jamming this show the last couple days. Gonna do a deeper dive into this run and the Boston Garden run from a few days later. Haven[t revisted in years

The band is playing as an organic whole throughout this show and every musician shines through. The Slipknot is off the charts and the jam after the second verse of Dark Star flows through multiple eras of Dead jams.

Oh and Train to Cry is perfect
-Anonymous (09/12/2022)

Absolutely monster show. I don't even know where to begin - there are so many highlights. Shakedown was a great start and got me thinking this might be a hot show. It didn't really slow down from there. Hell, I even appreciated Black Throated Wind. Help>Slip>Franklins was amazing. And then the whole Dark Star situation, including after the reprise (or just verse two, you might call it), there's a great five or so minutes of weirdness that's fun. And then you've still got plenty of show left. Absolutely love Standing on the Moon with the sax from Marsalis adding some beautiful touches (honestly he added beautiful touches all freaking night). I just can't speak highly enough about this one.
