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.

Grendel - it’s heady because Jerry pulls out some major licks in the solo. Think archive commenters are right when they note this was an indoor venue and that Jerry was probably feeling the heat - literally - a little less.

Surprisingly good vocals. Fun version.

Jerry’s really into it. When I think of happy summer dead shows, i always think of this one. Such beautiful early summer energy and hot playing. Everyone seems to know this show is special, and I’m glad about that.

Really fucking hot, Jerry is playing excellently. Again bumping this first set as possibly the best of the year. More people need to hear this!!
