Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 3/9/81 captures the Grateful Dead playing to a packed home-from-home crowd, and this CD edition presents the full 1981 concert.
The early eighties line-up, with Brent Mydland settled in on keyboards and harmony vocals, was a tight and energetic unit, and New York audiences always seemed to draw something extra from the band. This show finds them loose, confident and in the mood to stretch.
The first set opens with Feel Like a Stranger, a slinky, groove-heavy statement of intent, before winding through Althea, Ramble on Rose and a gorgeous, exploratory Bird Song that floats far out before drifting home. The second set kicks off with a lively China Cat Sunflower into I Know You Rider, then settles into a deep run including Estimated Prophet and a heartfelt Uncle John's Band.
After the percussion workout of Drums and the ambient wanderings of Space, the band roars into The Other One, then eases into a tender, aching Stella Blue that may be the emotional peak of the night. Good Lovin' and a U.S. Blues encore send the crowd home happy.
For Deadheads, this is a superb snapshot of the Mydland era at its sharpest, and a reminder of why the Garden became one of the band's great stages.
