Playin' In The Band

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.

They Love Each Other
Dec. 18, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Really strong version led by Vince and Jerry. Vince's real piano sound and Jerry's acoustic tone combine for a fantastic sound that really suits the song - not to mention they're both playing very well.
The Other One
March 30, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Should have more than a couple votes. Very strong stuff, jerry on fire, pig adding nice fills, etc etc - not unique for the era but very heady.
Bird Song
June 20, 1991
Pine Knob Music Theatre

Agree with the above comments about the great full band interplay. Phil is way turned up and Vince takes a very trippy solo in the middle.
He's Gone
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Definitely kind version and super kind pre-drums with great triple jerry combo.
The Music Never Stopped
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Totally unbelievable version. Each note of each solo is perfectly played with laser precision, not a note out of place. Fantastic hot and long
