The best version I have heard, played a little slower and under control. Beautifully singing by Lesh, from one of the best shows of ’95.

After the last notes of the final refrain, they wander into deep space and then return to the refrain again, powerful, give it a listen.

Good version, I really like what Hornsby added, (I saw him before he joined the band, mid-80’s and Jack Straw was one of the covers he played) and in general the 100 or shows with Hornsby are worth a listen. That said, this is not a top 3 Jack Straw IMHO, so I won’t vote for it. All that have, should listen to every Jack Straw listed from ’78 thru 1980, there are many that blow this one away.

This show was middle point of a really fun summer tour, were we lived by the motto. “Are we now closer to home, or the next show?” Many other Heady versions from this tour, SPAC, Merriweather, Cuyahogga Falls, Indy…

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

One of my favorite later versions, it was hard to gauge how hot these Carrier Dome shows where, the place was massive, even in the “hot spot” where we taped, it just lacked any intimacy. But the tapes don’t lie, a great version from an underappreciated year, (No Official Releases!!) I saw 31 shows in ’84 and I remember a few more Heady versions that need to be nominated.

One of the best Brent versions for sure, very fiery conclusion, Jerry fanning, Phil dropping bombs, Weir does cut of the jam a few bars too soon, it is the opener. Fall ’79 is an underrated era, most of the shows I have listened to are top notch and this show has many Heady versions.

Again a nomination from CrackStraw, (Yes that is his REAL name), and a very fine version. This entire show (RT Vol. 1 No. 4), has many Heady version, listen and vote.
