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.

Super fun version from an incredibly hot and solid 94 show. Vince sounds awesome on the barroom style piano solo

Smokin version, agree with above comments that Brent’s tinkly keys actually sound fantastic here. Jerry’s ripped up vox are fun too.

Great one. Strong vocals and great entry entry into the big last solo. Not top 10 or anything but very solid.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Jerry’s really into it. Vocals are HEAVY. Great solo too. There isn’t a bad version of this one.

Honestly pretty darn hot especially for summer tour 94. This is just a special show. Fun stuff and you can tell Jerry was really trying to pull his weight.
