Jerry's guitar is thin but flies through the fretboard and extends final jam by a solid 45-60 seconds

Check out 5/9/79 and 5/13/79 if this is the kind of straw hat you wear.

I'd say this is my third favorite Stagger of the year. My top 3 are played within 5 days of each other.The clear winner is 5 days later in Amherst, MA. The ending Jerry decides to groove a bouncy chord heavy rhythm that sounds like a Carnival at night. The 2nd being I hsve to go with most energetic show from the tour, 5/9/79. Lots of novelty Bobby slide an heat!

Blows my mind this hasn;t been up voted yet. I'm not sure there's a Jack Straw with Bobby as confident he is here. Play it loud and fast or don't play it at all? You'll have to settle for a AUD but the clapping is some of the best i've ever heard. Binghamton sounds like the place to be!

During the mid-song jam Jerry plays his solo two times around...very fun
