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

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

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

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.

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!

Jack Straw

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.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Cape Cod Coliseum

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.
The Music Never Stopped

Paramount Theatre

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.
