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.

One of the heaviest Dead moments ever. Stunning version, Jerry's vocals are as strong as you've ever heard em

Solid version, and very interesting fuzzed out tone from Jerry in the end solo. Brent's doing some weird shit too. rather unknown and hot show

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Ok come on folks even if just for the stunning first UJB this deserves more votes. Absolutely torn to bits in the outro and (very smooth) transition to playin.

Super tight. Perfect re-entry from spaciness into the end jam. Jerry is on FIRE, Bob right along with him. Everyone always talks about the Wharf Rat>Sugar Mag and for good reason, but now that there's a very good AUD out there, no reason to not enjoy the whole show.
