Wow this version smokes, only an (Great) AUD recording is available, but Jerry is possessed, kinds of blows up at the end, but the middle jam rocks.

Not surprised this version is not listed, only an AUD recording is available, make sure you get the Space_Wharf Rat into, Phil is divine.

Great version there’s a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf4B-p3B3K0 During the jam the video focuses on Phil and he is clearly having a blast.

The bust out version, 1st one since the Melk Weg, what a run at the BCT. Give it a listen.

Long, long closing jam, major Phil bombs and fiery strumming by both Weir and Garcia, give it a listen. Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show.

Jack Straw

Winterland Arena

Good call CrackStraw, (if that’s your REAL name), very fine version. I always like the 1st set closer position for a smokin’ Jack Straw. Can’t decide if I like this one over the 10-22-78 version (RT Vol. 1 No. 4), can’t go wrong with most ’78 Jack Straws.

Ya this one rocks, Phil is clearly on-point throughout. Good call DarkStar transitive axis, this version should have a least a few more votes, RT No. 1 Vol 1 and the Full shows from The Spectrum. Weir is very low in these mixes, almost criminal since he adds so much to this song. Love when Garcia emphatically sings the final verses, he belts these out with gusto.

If I only had one vote, this version would be it. The “Wait a minute…. “ stops are classic “Bobby Rock Star” moments, I grin every time I hear it, Garcia last solo isn’t too shabby either. Dick’s Picks Vol. 21, so you should know this version, if you need to listen again, do so, but vote either way.

How does this version only have 1 vote? The transition jam is very nice and the Rider flat out rocks, major Phil Bombs. Give it a listen and vote.

Very hot version, top 2 or 3 from ’77, (’78 being my favorite year). Love how they seem to finish the closing jam, but then continue on for a couple more bars.
