Allan Kirby Field House

The early Brent era can really be jaw dropping, as this is...epic Jack straws were aplenty in 79....

Everything is gold in this show, and this tune is particularly shiny

Slow groove...all parts are on point...so much tenderness and yet so much power

Seattle Center Coliseum

Swingin' and groovin'...Phil takes charge on forgotten first verse..Bob drops an f-bomb but seems to censor himself on "ain't it a shame" line. Funny

Heady heights hit here by all parties...Donna really stepped it up for Tuscaloosa

I think I mixed up the dates. 8/6/74 and 8/4/76 are both beyond epic, but I think my description on 8/6 version is more apt for THIS version. So laid back, yet non-stop hard-hitting exhilaration. Only the Dead...

Worthy. Slow, sinister grooving' intro, Phil means business. This show might be the filthiest funkiest grungiest groovinest show from top-to-bottom the boys (and girl) ever did

Truly fun. I tried explaining the irony of the Stayin' Alive tease to my Russian roommate, to no avail. The teases throughout really are spectacularly fun. No better word. This show is pretty unbelievable, by the way. A romp, indeed.

Fair enough: My opinion is this: Jack Straw is a classic song and there are many beautiful shades to the song throughout the years, and as such there are many incredible versions to dig. Much love back. "We can share it..."
