November 21, 1990, a Wednesday night, Garcia played a killer “Let’s Spend The Night Together,” featuring what the seeder notes as “relentless, furious” guitar work. Indeed. “Tears Of Rage” and “Tore Up Over You” also stand out.
Pack of Wolves opened, for the record.

! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; … = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [ ] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the “real” time of the event. So, a timing of [x:xx] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! R: seeder comments: “Sounds as these tapers got a better location than the 20th, and were rewarded musically – no info on DATs”
! P: seeder comments: “Let’s Spend The Night Together is EPIC – relentless, furious Garcia licks”
! R: Man, the crowd is crazy chatty.
! P: s1t02 CUTS he’s having a hard time with the lyrics.
! P: s1t06 TWLWMYD JG sounds vocally fatigued, if you know what I mean.
! P: s1t07 LDS 6:15ff Garcia bends a huge note, to a hint of feedback. Awesome.
! song: “Throw Out The Lifeline” (s1t10): this had a weird performance history. Debuted 10/31/88, played twice more in late ’88, then on the shelf until this version, first of five in the late ’90 – early ’91 period (last 1/29/91), then one laste time on 4/30/92.
! P: s1t11 LSTNT as the seeder notes, this LSTNT has Garcia absolutely SHREDDING, especially from the 7 minute mark forward. This tune features some truly exceptional guitar work. Man, what I wouldn’t give to hear a soundboard tape of this. WOW – still cooking in late 8, and he is really playing the shit out of his electric git-tar.
! song: “Tears Of Rage” (s2t14): this is the penultimate Garcia Band version of this stunning, incredible Bob Dylan / Richard Manuel tune (1/31/91).
! P: s2t14 Tears Of Rage: God, I love this song so much. He does a good job with the lyrics, and sounds appropriately mournful.
! P: s2t15 TUOY has some awesome guitar stuff in the late 4. Again in 8 he is doing some amazing stuff – in both of these ranges, he has things tuned just a little “off” – I lack the musical vocabulary to explain it, but he’s in an odd key, and it sounds great. I think he flubs the lyric coming back in early 9, but the guitar was so smokin’ that he probably left a smoking crater of his own mind – quite understandable, and easily forgiveable.
! s2t16 (1) young lady in the audience yells “Love you Jerry!” and the crowd seconds the emotion.
! P: s2t18 TUIB sounds a little ponderous coming out of the gate.
! s2t18 (2) JG: “Thanks a lot. See ya later.”
