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.

This needs more attention. A very well played version, and the only one with lyrics post 85. Jerry's digital preamp gave him a very "fat" tone from dec 92 through summer tour 93 and it really works here. Seriously underrated and must have been unbelievable hearing this live.

Absolutely fantastic playing and singing here. Jerry's all over the mid solo and the outro - the phrase he plays with in the beginning of the outro is LOVELY. Highly recommend this one - the Deer Creek run in 94 was not so bad, all things considered.

I'd like to take back my previous comment -- upon a re-listen I've found that Jerry's playing is strong, especially in the mid solo and in the second half of the outro. He's just a little quiet. Overall very strong version for this late in the game. For competitors see 7/19/94, 4/2/95, 5/29/95
