Grateful Dead - 1988-09-16 - Madison Square Garden, NY (SBD)

As promised yesterday, this soundboard recording captures night 63 of 9 at MSG in 1988, from September 16, 1988, 29 years ago today.  This show was so hot, and the crowd so intense, that Garcia played It's All Over Now Baby Blue as the encore just to calm everyone down. A fiery Hey Pocky Way, a wonderful Me & My Uncle into Mexaclii Blues and an unexpected and beautiful To Lay Me Down highlighted the first set.  According to the Setlist Program website, the 5 song sequence to open the 2nd Set is the only time the band ever played those songs in that order. The Sugar Magnolia to end the 2nd set just about blew the roof off the Garden, especially when the jam before Sunshine Daydream borrowed from Greatest Story Ever Told! Enjoy!
