Jack Straw

Winterland Arena

Piston Pumpin' version to close '77. Overlooked? This is the 244th version listed. Deserves to climb the pile.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 29, 1983
Silva Hall, Hult Center

Attacked with precision and exuberance by the ensemble, who bat this one on down the road in viscous and youthful ’83 style.

Alabama Getaway

Uptown Theatre

Another rambunctious '80 blazer, especially the run out to close. Checkin' the Aud with the Nak caps.

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
