Jerry's mic craps out at the beginning and as per usual he mangles the words, but the solos are rippin'!

Gorgeous version, like most versions. Jerry sounds so sweet here.

Nearly 20 minutes...good jamming on the main theme before a very nice melt down later on. Not quite 12/16/94 but still very good.

Completely torched. Jerry hits his solo like they owe him a million a dollars.

The tempo is suuuuper sluggish here....but Jerry's solo is excellent.

Great guitar playing.
Jack Straw

That said, this version has to have the worst entry into the "Jack Straw from Wichita" finale ever. I'm not sure if Bob and / or Jerry forget the words, or if Bob, Brent, or Jerry fatally miscue the entrance, but it's a tragedy. At one point all three are singing different lyrics. Other than the rest of the song is aces.
