Kieth and Donna's last Straw and it's almost as extreme as any from winter '79

A night after the concensus number one and it's finnally getting exposure. The recording is AUD too. Rhythm guitar and applouse!

Exceptional version from an underrated tour.
Not Fade Away

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 :)

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.
