It's the jam before Stagger Lee gets shot in the balls that defines this one. Check out this aud. Great Ace slide all show!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Very intense finale in Rider
Not Fade Away
Jan. 12, 1979
The Spectrum

Exceptional version from an underrated tour.
Not Fade Away
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Reminds me a lot of 6/4 and 6/25/78 versions - for that alone I've gotta up vote it. It lacks psychedelia but makes up for it with intensity.

Despite having no connections to twin cities I'm a Gopher NCAA hoops/football supporter so i'm a little biased with Twin City shows(Don't think it's a coincidence first Jack Sraw came out of MPLS). I recall really digging this show(not quite as much as 5/11/77) I really need to hear the upgraded source....which I just found :)
Jack Straw

Blossom Music Center

Not huge on '85 Straws but this one is really tight and intense. The 'thing' that is heard after 'by the morning light' is very one of a kind and awesome.
