Great powerful version, (Phil is possessed) from an underrated show, give it a listen.

Not Fade Away

Glenns Falls Civic Center

Great intro, Weir on slide, (yes well played Weir slide), some nice jamming between verses, more slide, (not as nice), another jam after the NFA coda

Madison Square Garden

Another solid version from the Fall ’79 tour, neat closing jam, not as long as the 2 amazing Cape Cod versions, but worth a listen

Holleder Memorial Stadium

Out of an amazing and way underrated Half-Step, this version rocks. Not quite up to the Cape Cod versions, but Fall ’79 rules. Give it a listen.

The Spectrum

Another smoking version from Spring ’83. Just listened to it for the first time in 29-1/2 years. Great Bobby rap again, Get No, Get No, No No No!

Deer Creek Music Center

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.

Winterland Arena

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.
