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

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

Great version of a great song that actually helped me get over a lost love. You can't ask a song or a band for more than that...

This is a very strong Jack Straw with some pretty good recordings available. I can name a few better Jack Straws from 1984 but not very many. Definitely underrated.
