Great show in Philly. One of my top 10 or 15. Nice 75 minute first set. Great song selection. Great jams and flow in the second set. 2nd nite seeing the show with John Wynn. We were really exhausted after the second nite and met fellow UMDer,
Heidi Kelso, in the JFK lot after the show.

9-23-88 Madison Square Garden, New York, N.Y. (Fri)
1: LTGTR, Bucket, Cold Rain, Walking Blues, Loser, Memphis Blues, Dupree's, Promised
2: Samson, Ship Of Fools, Victim> Foolish Heart> Drumz> Take You Home> Other One> Stella Blue> Sugar Magnolia E: U. S. Blues

An okay show. Nothing special although Jerry had all the good first set tunes.
Cold Rain and Snow, Loser, and Dupree's easily outweigh anything that Bobby could throw into the mix. Second set didn't really wash on paper so it was certainly nothing to write home about. Sometimes you get shows like that.

The next night would pose some interesting possibilities and will probably get its own mention.
