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.

A little messy in the outro but VERY hot. Jerry delivers the vocals with beauty and passion and his playing is top notch. Hard to find a bad 84 show.

Madison Square Garden

Always liked this one. Fantastic tone and well played by all. Nice transition into what is IMO the best 90s GSET.

Such a classic. Bruce taking vocals is awesome and him and Jerry work together to rip up the end solo. Summer 91 was so hot!!

Honesty never thought Jerry sounded too bad singing this one. Awesome solos and nice to have a good color video from 78.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Wish i could upvote this on the strength of the fire alone. Scarlet is definitely a throwaway but Jerry pulls all sorts of tricks out of his bag (not to mention a REALLY strong, far better than 10/14/94, first solo where he just jams hard with no special effects). Hot stuff, this whole Seattle run is great.
