Jack Straw

Meadowlands Arena

Jack Straw -> China -> Rider in 1989. Great buildup to final verse into a classic combo. Bruce Hornsby adds an extra layer, the stuff of dreams

Sugar Magnolia
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

After a killer Wharf Rat, the boys false-start Around and Around three times before ripping into this great Sugar Mag. Who ever needed a face anyway?

Saint of Circumstance
July 8, 1995
Soldier Field

A triumphant, and surprisingly well-played version, given the date. Sure don't know...

Truckin'
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Real heady summer '89 Truckin', great vocals and powerful playing, what else to say except hot!

Desolation Row
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

One of the best, strong delivery from Bobby, great guitar work from both

So Many Roads
Sept. 18, 1994
Shoreline Amphitheatre

The solo on this one beats out all the others for me, just so ethereal. He's singing and screaming just as emotionally as 10/1/94, agreed that this probably is the best
Jack Straw
June 16, 1991
Giants Stadium

Killer, Bruce is a welcome addition, his jamming is insane, and if I'm hearing correctly, I love him taking Bobby's first verse, "Hurts my ears to listen, burns MY EYES to see!" Whole team effort, best Jack Straw of the 90's contender right here
Wharf Rat
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A version so nice it was submitted 7 times. Smack in the middle of a liquid hot Dancin', a well-sung version with some pretty jamming. Not the longest but it gives me a big smile going back into Dancin'.
Stella Blue
May 15, 1983
Greek Theatre - University of California

scorching take that shoots for the fences, stunning outro that gets some great fanning, reminding me of 10/21/78
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

This whole show has it. So many gems sprinkled throughout the 80's, love stumbling upon them, there really seems to be a lot of uncharted territory very worthy of exploring. Very lucky for this site and its users
