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.

It's okay, and worth a vote for the effort put in, but it's really hard to watch Jerry struggling with licks he could have played effortlessly several years before.

Jerry rallies for a VERY hot mid solo. Shredded, great peak. Surprising how random it could be where he showed up playing well in shows in this era.

Yeah, awesome pick GR. Definitely slower than some of the coked up 80s versions, which is a major plus, and jerry's soloing is quite focused.

Great jamming, Jerry turns up the funk and vince's keys sound awesome. Lots of underrated spring 91 shows, most of them featured just Vince on keys which gave the band some breathing room IMO

DS - One of the best Garcia moments ever. This whole east coast tour was unbelievably high energy, unreal that we have video
