Jack Straw
Oct. 20, 1984
Carrier Dome, Syracuse U
Rolling thunder Jack Straw. Jerry was blistering lightening off the charts fast their, while organized. The recording is really good. Vocals were great start to finish and solo's we're dynamite, this is a masterpiece Jack Straw. Compared to 1-11-79, I think its much closer than votes say.. the '79 jack straw has some of that funk/jumpy flow mixed in with the firery shreds that I find so unique and incredible (little bias to '78/79). But this '84 Jack Straw isn't just a ripper it also some heart and magic to it.. Comparably I do think this '84 Jack straw is slightly better.. but its subjective. they both shine in different ways, I think this one is more complete start to finish.. The band was really strong in the start and didn't waste a single milli half second... then you throw in that inspiring last solo. Yes.
