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.

Love that Jerry's actually using a wah pedal here, rather than just his mutron and distortion. Great version

Very cool breakdown in the middle of slipknot - they take it all the way down and then all the way back up. excellent slip

Slipknot, especially the first half, is EXTREMELY hot. Bruce-driven at the beginning but Jerry brings the heat as well
