This show is often overlooked because of the more well known and highly circulated killer show the next night(the first post space Dark Star). However this show, from Bruce Hornsby's
very first run with the Dead conatins some very interesting and inspired playing. The Help>Slip>Frank to close set one is monumental(check out Hornsby adding some grand piano sparks during a transcendental Slpiknot). The first half of set 2 is also very unique in that the Playing opener is revisited 3 times before drums and also contains a very rare second set appearance of Let it Grow. As was the custom during the 90 MSG run, the band
would break off into groups of 3 for the jam leading into drums. The trio this night is a
wonderful combination of Bob, Jerry, and Bruce with some collective improv that will knock your socks off:-) This show sounds as good today as it did from the 21st row- left section-(The Phil Zone) in the fall of '90 Enjoy-----Jeff M.
