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

Jack Straw

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.

Shakedown Street
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

A true team effort that shows off the jamming chemistry of 1989.
New Minglewood Blues
Aug. 19, 1980
Uptown Theatre

This is one of the best versions I’ve heard. 1980 is such an amazing — and too often overlooked — year.
Truckin'
Oct. 14, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Chilled-out ambient space into Drums. Very cool and different.
Playin' In The Band
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium

Ample demonstration of the jamming magic of Brent’s last year.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Hadn't heard this in a long time, then listened yesterday for the 50th anniversary and wooooooow. Jerry — is — on — fire. No wonder this one is ranked so high!
