This is a great sleeper; a hidden gem. Bobby sings it so well, and is, like, on key and stuff! High energy taboot. Gotta check it out!!!

This is a fun version and Pig is killin' it. Some great Jerry banter immediately after the tune ends... But that's not why I submitted it. Solid!

As much as I love the entire Fillmore run, I think this version surpasses those in execution and vocal performance. Jerry sounds great!

the boys are locked in. bob, brent & jerry sing great together. quality stuff!

best of '77. (also the shortest.) near-perfect execution, perfectly lazy groove, great vocals. what more do you need?

Very solid, fun, and well-played Bertha. And YES, I know the note!

I always felt this was the sister version to the Stuck Inside Of Mobile from 10/9/89. For some reason, whenever I hear one, I think of the other. Love both!

I came in here to post this if it wasn't already. Good call! I was inspired by the 1/11/79 version that is currently ranked at the top. I chalk that one up as a crappy version with a raging guitar solo. Are we succumbing to the "the gesture is enough" syndrome here? It made me go out and find a good one and put my money where my mouth is. (haha) We all have out opinions, but what I look for in a great version of a song is most importantly, high energy... then good vocals, creative playing/jamming, tightness/execution, and an in-the-pocket groove. I feel none of that was present in the 1/11/79 Jack Straw except maybe some energy and a good guitar solo. I almost feel Jerry raged those solos out of spite because he felt the rest of the band wasn't pulling it together. No offense to anyone here of course... We're all here for the same reason, right? I just think there are performances out there that have great energy ~AND~ all of the other elements listed above. If someone new came in here for ideas and heard THAT Jack Straw first...? Don't think it would help turn him on. Anyway, my two cents. (or more) I'll get off my soapbox now.

This should be at the top. Chills every time.

It's hard to argue against this one...
