Jack Straw

Nevada County Fairgrounds

This show proves hot out of the gate with this fiercely jammed Jack Straw. The Andrew F recording sounds amazing, too.

Not Fade Away
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena

More evidence for the NFAissance of 1989. Torn to shreds.

Drums -> Space
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Xylophone loop madness in Drums, then a creepy two-note riff by Bobby surfaces several times in Space.

Feel Like A Stranger
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena

En fuego! Masterfully executed, funky, slinky, and ultimately ripped to shreds.

Mexicali Blues
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Another FAST ’74 version, it’s executed with so much swagger you’d swear they could go faster still.

This version has IT.
Bird Song
Nov. 30, 1981
Hara Arena

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

Kicks so much ass. I won’t call you crazy if you prefer the pre-retirement Deals, but if you don’t, this might be The One.
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.
Sugaree

Swing Auditorium

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