Jack Straw
For the love of Jerry you MUST listen to this immediately. Cease all other activities and prepare to have your jaw hit the floor!

Not Fade Away
The revving Harley out of “Space” to the beat of NFA makes this version fun and unique and it also shreds, Garcia is clearly having a blast.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Another amazing version from ’78, close second to Durham when Garcia’s belts out the final “My O My’s”

Drums
Part of a very hardcore rock and roll 2nd set. HEAVY wailing Drums>Space>NFA w/motorcycle revs.

Tennessee Jed
Jerry's voice is shot, but his tone is DIALED.

Shredded by Jer and Bob was a little slide happy in 78, but works well.
