A solid workout with a well-rendered buildup and a yelping SSDD

Much appreciated, as there soon comes a time when its more sporadic in the repertoire

Amazed at how these early versions are so well established, moving along confidently yet dreamily; then some unique post-lyric explorations.

Uptown Theatre

Another rambunctious '80 blazer, especially the run out to close. Checkin' the Aud with the Nak caps.
Jack Straw
Sept. 18, 1974
Parc des Expositions

One of my first tape acquisitions, much of this show withstands eternal listening, and several of the songs, UJB, BTW, FOD to name a few are real standout versions. Faced with the choice of where to put my chip, I'm going to vote for this Jack Straw as its a bit down the list and is utterly unique... but I'm afraid I may have already voted for the UJB... or the BTW... or... ENJOY
