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!

Very strong version. This show has a 5 sonf stretch that crushes - Straw-Althea-Deal and set 2 opening C>F. The only '80 Straws I like more are 1/13, 4/29, 5/12, 8/30 and maybe 12/28.

Is that a Mojo jam I hear around 7:40? Excellent work GD

Love this show. Firs t set highlight for me is It's All Over Now. As far as 12/29/77 being superior - I disagree. '78 was great for Bertha see 1/22, 1/30, 4/15, 4/19/ 4/22, 5/5, 10/18, 10/21

Hot jam and any version where Jerry chimes in after 'I got mine (AND YOU GOT YOURS') gives me goosebumps from time to time

I do love that Catfish but I'm looking for an outlet to share my single favorite Jerry performance. Since Lonesome and a long way from home doesn't have it's own rack, allow me to rest it here. I think same era Catfish fans will dig this. 4/3/76 JGB Washington,DC -' Lonesome and a long way from home' The jam isn't spacey/unstructured like usual this one is like a killer S>F segue that builds up to levels Morning Dew never reached. Check it out, this is insanity and so happy it's resurfaced! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgJBT2WWKA&list=PLMz53NYZY033bHjRhSzBt9zMwhWUKb8EK&index=53
