What an impeccable groove! The band was definitely ON this night. I don't think Bobby's slide has ever been so tasteful and Jerry's tone during the solos is simply godly.

This is from the very first "Phil Lesh and Friends" show (the lineup of which consisted of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Vince Welnick - essentially the Dead sans percussion) in Berkeley.

When I searched for Jack Straw I expected to pass this version somewhere near the top; what a shame that it resides where it does on this list! Do yourself a favor and find this one (the whole show is on fire and also contains the immaculate Dark Star).

Far and away my favorite version of this song. The band really brings the energy for this one and Jerry's playing is so incredibly precise.
