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.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Extremely firey jam - not exceptionally creative but great shred.

RFK Stadium

Lovely mid solo with fantastic fast runs sort of reminiscent of 10/12/84. Out jam is hot too, of course.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Extremely hot strumming jam towards the end. Lots of 87 Bird Songs are fantastic, this one included.

Fantastic version with a great Brent solo preceding some awesome interplay between him and Jerry in the outro. Underrated by miles
