The ending rages harder than any '80 Althea. Quality aud with great Jack Straw to follow to end set 1

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!

Jack Straw
Sept. 25, 1980
Warfield Theater

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
