Jack Straw

Oxford Plains Speedway

WOW! Never heard this version but stumbled on it listening to 88 dead to day. Incredible build up. This is what jack straw is all about.

Capitol Theater

Definitely should be higher. Strong start, mind bending space, beautiful Main Ten jam and incredible post jam that may or may not be a Dancing in the Streets jam. Not to mention the actual transition into Dancing. Wow.

This is by far the best version. Jerry burns the solo down. Take that Brent era haters

Super hot version for sure. Jerry and Brent have some awesome interplay when Rider starts up.
