Jack Straw

One of the marks of a great jack Straw is when jerry does those guitar fills around Bob's vocals. Jerry nails that here.

Blazin' hot smokeshow of syncopated bends, slides, and hammer ons that turns the intensity up to 11

Let It Rock

Poplar Creek

Clarence Clemons sits in for the whole show and really is a great addition. They rock this Let It Rock better than anywhere else I have heard anywhere

This is a topnotch version of Jack Straw -- my only complaint would be that Jerry's guitar is mixed a bit too low but Jerry really fully articulates this one.

Oakland Coliseum

I was at this show and at that time was not familiar with the NFA thing and was quite blown away to see it happen spontaneously on New Year's Eve and in fact to start the whole show before the Dead even did NFA!
