Gorgous version from start to finish and another piece of 77 that gives the lie to all the Keith and Donna haters.

Spectacular version with perfect outro jam just thought to comment on how it should be ranked near the top and am shocked to find it absent.

Great version from a criminally overlooked show.
Cold Rain and Snow
Oct. 12, 1983

Nasty freezing rain made getting into the city pure hell that night.Opening up what turned out to be perhaps the best show of the year with this smoking rain and snow turned it all to sunshine.

I'm not crazy about the whole Barton Hall thing but this Jack Straw is downright profound,even after countless hearings I still get chills.
