Another strong version from Brent's last year. Colorful with a swirling energy.

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

There’s something about the pluck of this early version. Fresh and surprising even if you’ve heard a billion Jack Straws.

This version has IT.
Bird Song

Hara Arena

The new Seamons matrix sounds perfect. Let the sound wash over you …
Deal
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Mama Tried
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

One of those performances where you can hear how much they loved this song and how fun it is to play and sing.

Swing Auditorium

The comments are right on. This has all the thrills of versions later in the year, but it’s more focused.
