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.

Doesn't get better than this, folks. An absolute trip - Bob screaming like he hadnt since 1974 and raving about the aborigines. Fantastic mid solo too, several minutes long.

Should have a lot more votes. Lightning strikes the stage and knocks out the power briefly mutilple times, egging the band (especially Jerry and the drummers) to new heights. Great AUD

Three Rivers Stadium

Very decent version. I enjoyed it but unfortunately I can't say it feels like much more than noodling is coming from Jerry in the jam. Spacey is great, but unfocused is not.

Fillmore Auditorium

Absolutely GRIMEY version, great spooky scary sexy pigpen vocals and then a very weird jam. god i fucking love this band

Trippy version, awesome soloing and strong vocals. 83 is full of weird little gems
