Jack Straw
April 4, 1984
Providence Civic Center

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
Sept. 16, 1989
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

Comments

New Minglewood Blues
June 24, 1985
River Bend Music Center

That's rock and roll, childrens. Jerry's playing and -- not to be overlooked -- Jerry's monster guitar tone can't be had anywhere else.
They Love Each Other
June 24, 1985
River Bend Music Center

Guitar great, vox not so. Citation_16 above nails the review (and Beggars Tomb as usual supplies his/her uniquely insightful poetry)
Greatest Story Ever Told
June 24, 1985
River Bend Music Center

Jerry at his best. The whole show smokes.
Me and My Uncle
March 27, 1988
Hampton Coliseum

This whole show is great and so is this Me and My Uncle. Jerry came out swingin' in the first song and Bobby is right there with him every step of the way.
Ballad of a Thin Man
March 27, 1988
Hampton Coliseum

Bobby's vocals inspired; Garcia's rock and roll jam is ethereal and a bucket of guts at the same time.
