Jerry is like Muhammad Ali here...Phil is, of course, right on point and all over the place...Kieth is ultra funky, Billy K kicks,Weir is tasty

Not the best recording, but good enough, and the performance pays off big time

I think I mixed up the dates. 8/6/74 and 8/4/76 are both beyond epic, but I think my description on 8/6 version is more apt for THIS version. So laid back, yet non-stop hard-hitting exhilaration. Only the Dead...

Wavy GraVy of course is what I meant

Fair enough: My opinion is this: Jack Straw is a classic song and there are many beautiful shades to the song throughout the years, and as such there are many incredible versions to dig. Much love back. "We can share it..."
