One of the best Bobby versions. They tear this one up. Bobby's possessed. Jerry's on.

Bobby was on his game with the blues numbers in summer '85.

Killer run of "Stranger" -> "Eyes" -> "GDTRFB" -> "MSWS." What a great run at the end of June.

Sweet bustout at Keith and Donna's last show. Jerry's solo is great.

Fast, a bit sloppy, but Jerry's having a great time here.

Listened to this show today. I love this version...it's whimsical and full of energy.

Great guitar playing.
Jack Straw

That said, this version has to have the worst entry into the "Jack Straw from Wichita" finale ever. I'm not sure if Bob and / or Jerry forget the words, or if Bob, Brent, or Jerry fatally miscue the entrance, but it's a tragedy. At one point all three are singing different lyrics. Other than the rest of the song is aces.
