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.

Jerry really giving it his all on the vocals. These two riverport shows are IMO stronger than most of summer tour 95. Competently played.

Pretty average version in my opinion. Still would recommend for a mellow evening listen, definitely has some dreamy vibes.

Really hot version, fantastic long solo. Nothing more you can say about this song but a lot of people write this show off after the opening Feel like a Stranger, which is a bad move bc much of the show rocks. Great Bird Song and Playin>Terrapin.
