Nice Playin'. Jerry finds a few good riffs. Not usually a fan of late era playins, as Jerry's speedy playing is so integral. He plays pretty well here

Picture perfect. Soaring leads from Jerry and crashes exquistely back into the verse

Hot Playin>China Doll>Playin. Long and exploratory on both ends, especially for 84.

Very hot tour opener. Jerry's playing is excellent. This show is the only good one from this weird little run in Colorado.

Shockingly good. Only good things to say about the Boston Garden run from this tour. These first few nights allayed fears after awful summer tour.

Very enjoyable and interesting outro jam into IJWMLTY.

Vince's keys are great here. Jerry sounds tired.
St. Stephen

Madison Square Garden

The teases in the second half of space really add to the mystique of this version
Uncle John's Band

Giants Stadium

Vince's contributions to the outro jam are excellent. Very electronic and totally scary. My favorite stuff I've heard from him pre-1993.
Eyes Of The World

Sullivan Stadium

This is a great version. Definitely not fast, though. Slower than most of the versions pre 3/25/90, when they slowed it down bigtime.
